Huh. I had inferred from some of your comments that you went to that downtown school. Turns out I should have looked further up New Mexico Av.

Keith, thought you might find this of interest (from today's WaPo:) George Washington University to stop using ‘Colonials’ name by 2023-24 In a statement, university officials said the use of the name has divided the community and can “no longer serve its purpose as a name that unifies.”

You missed carbon paper and WhiteOut!

Thanks all. I think we'll just look to avoid deck 9.

Looking at a cruise on Silver Dawn, specifically in a silver suite. Is there any preference between decks 9, 10, 11?

That's great to hear. I figured I was over thinking it.

Thanks. That's reassuring.

We're looking at our first SS booking, on Dawn. We've been assigned 644. That's pretty mid-shipy (our preference,) but I notice it's directly above Dolce Vita. Any issue with noise leaking in from below? We're more late risers, so early morning may be more of a concern than end of evening. Also, I checked and only remaining deck 7/8 cabins in that category are adjacent to elevator/stair banks. I'll pass on those. Any guidance is appreciated.

Yeah, that's good advice. Whenever we do a simple vacation hold, the odds seem to be 50/50 that it will go off without a hitch.

Well of course that's how you roll, Lord Grantham.

For the love of all that is holy, don't buy any bedding that was ever used in 852 on Serenity. Trust me on this.

Hi Roy, Hey, my closest UPS store is in a strip mall with a MoCo Liquor right there. Which makes it pretty convenient for me. 😁

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

I have a nuts and bolts question the US based cruisers who have taken long cruises can answer. Every time I've done a vacation hold with the USPS, the form says maximum hold is 30 days (or one month, can't remember.) How do you handle your mail when you're gone (particularly half way around the world) for more than a month?
