QueSeraSera

no sad button

Wow, so sorry Davey. Overwhelming sadness. Glad the lavender spray is helping with your gentleman, quite ingenious I'd say. But I am hoping 4 hours turns into 6 or 8 for you soon.

I'm not sure why Lvshack's post appears as "QueSeraSera said" but I think it's safe to assume the post is her, speaking to us. I would add she is popular with us, raises a good question about Daveywavey, and may have a point about Mr Luxury 🙂

So sorry to hear this

Sold out!

Best wishes to Marino.

and cleaned up so well. Fantastic pictures JP

This song came to mind reading JP's posts, my apologies if I've already posted this

need more info

Southern Africa is definitely on our to do list, just not sure the best way to do it.

Concur with info above

Don't you dare Lois! I got the flu shot in one arm, new covid booster in the other. Won't do that again because one arm was sore for days but I don't know which shot to complain about 😉 On another topic, while in Italy, I discovered Limoncello. Fruit food group won't be a problem anymore

I like coming here to relax, not arguing with anyone, even to make obvious counter arguments.

and I expect do not complain about the food etc We are indebted to countless men and women who sacrificed their life, limbs, minds for the freedom we enjoy.

We were on a tour that was split about 60% scheduled activities, 40% free time (or optional activities). The hotel is in a great location, very short walk to Tasso square with the sights and shopping there, and an easy walk to the coast.

Returned home late last night from a week visiting Campania Italy & the Amalfi Coast. Great trip but my photos as always not so much - I really enjoy the pix others post here. I'll add 2 or 3 below. Sorrento proved to be a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Spending a week in our good but moderately priced hotel (Plaza Sorrento) allowed us to feel part of the familglia (family) there and I recommend the place if you understand what I mean. The food was almost always excellent as was the wine. If you enjoy full bodied red wine with lots of top notes, the Aglianico produced in Campania can be superb. We bought bottles for a bit over 10 Euro there that were just fantastic. So, a few pictures, our tour included a visit to a farm in the hills above Sorrento. The picture shows our guide explaining what's happening as a woman prepares mozzarella cheese from aged water buffalo milk From the excavations at Pompeii, a meatball pan. I cannot justify why I was so enthused about this archeological find, other than to admit I love a good meatball.... Paestum Italy, it was remarkable to walk up to and enter such an ancient building. Me, a happy man in Italy

Also wishing our Canadian neighbors a Happy Thanksgiving!

Roger McGuinn concert was very good, emotionally touching, and at 80 something years old, he is still a magnificent guitar player. Dear wife and I need to go to more music concerts....

Same happening here. Wife only had the covid, she's fine. Me, had both, not so much. Scheduled a doc visit for Monday, Tomorrow night, DW and I go to a concert by Roger McGiunn right next door in Hopewell VA. Hope my gut can settle down by then. We don't get many concerts by well known musicians in our neighborhood.

Thank you! Group size is 16 as of recent email. Here is the description from the tour operator: "Venture out for a spectacular scenic drive to Positano. Travel along the Amalfi Coast, a brilliant tapestry of mountains, tree-covered cliffs and houses painted in pastel hues. Beautiful Positano has been lauded by poets and artists for centuries. See why during a walking tour of this special village. Then board a boat for a ride to Amalfi, viewing the splendid Amalfi coast from the water."

Bought into a land tour to Italy this month, based in Sorrento - tour includes Pompeii and Pasitano, every night return to Sorrento. Any thoughts from coolers welcome.

Have a great trip @Cruisinbanjo

We hope all is well now Lois. We are currently using 2 small ($100 or so) room dehumidifiers here in Virginia as the weather has been cloudy and rainy for what feels like weeks. On a totally different note, I have found it is essential to occasionally check in with BBC news. When I was younger, I had full faith in American media but sadly not so much anymore. If our British or Commonwealth friends have any thoughts, I admit I'm anxious to hear them. Example: On the international front, I think I would never have seen this story unless I had logged into the BBC South China Sea: Philippines coast guard cuts barrier - BBC News Hoping such a post is not inimical to the cooler philosophy in any way....

I hope you have better weather tomorrow. At least it's not snowing - you are getting closer to the North Pole.

Loved Mysty's Tom Ball. Powerful song. Love my wife - I don't want to know who I am without you. Powerful feeling. Live music in a church in Amsterdam:
