Here we go again.  What was supposed to be a quiet weather weekend, we are now about to get pounded with a severe t-storm with wind gusts of 60mph and history of hail up to 1.5”.  

You can’t get a break. Our friends from Missouri who are in our park during the winter went down to Mission to see if they like it during the summer. NO! They were headed home but are watching the storms.

What is the spectrum?  

He is autistic. I believe that explains his quirkiness.

Yup I just saw SFO is all jammed up so they’re holding ANY incoming 2:30 hours 

Sorry! I guess we’ll be hanging out with you a little longer! I think your last meal choice looked great. The last time we were in an airport we split a basket of tater tots and then went back for fries……

They haven't even called zone one yet and already fifty people have decided that they need to board with the handicapped and parents with children...

That drives me crazy. The most Ive ever seen is on Southwest. They call it the miracle flight because so many who needed a wheel chair to board run off the plane when it lands.

. I think you made great choices on proteins on the cruise. Yes portions were bigger than you would like but you were on a cruise! Safe travels.

Did I read somewhere in this report that he is on the spectrum, or did I read it wrong?

Yes.He said that.

Can you ask your room stressed to turn it off?

I swear it said room steward when I typed this last night. Autocorrect must have been feeling the stress of that light constantly burning!there is probably a review somewhere complaining they couldn’t sleep because of the light on their balcony.

Once again I enjoyed your review.You are brutally honest about yourself which is seldom seen. You also are able to convey the fun you are having in the different ports. Hopefully you’ll take us with you again on your next cruise. That’s a lot of free play!

Good morning! Look at the sun!

(from Willy Wonka, lol)

So I got up early, put in my 20 minute mile. Came back to the cabin and got cleaned up and I’m heading out for Sea Day Brunch (those brunch potatoes were gooood)

Obligatory shirt of the day (I had this one custom screen printed because Club Cal-Neva is honestly the dumpiest/sketchiest casino in the world, haha..at least it was when I was going in the 00’s)

Great shirt! 

I thought Sid had started another thread….
 

Toilet etiquette!

Good morning from the Dominican Republic. Time to start my day with some drama free coffee.

It is kind like trying to keep up with your live reviews!

 

Once upon a time I would check off "follow with one email notification per day".....nope can't do that because then I am so far behind!

I switched gmail to aol mail for notifications. I don’t know t what the  difference was but I had over 100 notifications from this site in under 3 hours. Turned them all off.

awww, congrats! I’m sorry for that stress but what a sweet story. All the best to you and your grandson. 

Thank you. He is the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He was diagnosed when he was 10. I’m still angry  about it and someday some higher being is going to have to explain to me why this happened. 

I thought of all of you teachers last night at our Grandson’s HS graduation . The faculty all filed in and sat there while over 300 kids got their diplomas.Some do this year after year. God bless all of you. Luckily we only have 3 grandsons and this is the 2nd.one more to go. A little side story. Our GS last name starts with C. So he was across the stage pretty quickly. He’s also T1D. We were sitting there trying to be attentive while 289 other grads go across when I saw my son look at his phone and frown. He then texted my DIL who was across the venue in a prime photo taking place. She looks at her phone. I realize my son is now looking at the app which shows our GS glucose level. I pulled out my phone and pulled up the app and his Glucose was way too high. My son texted his son to look at his monitor and get working on getting it down. I  never saw another kid walk across the stage. We were all busy refreshing our app watching his glucose numbers go down. By the end of the ceremony he was fine. I thanked him afterwards for making the evening fly by.

I'm wondering if something with disconnecting the battery could've screwed it up. My time was wrong.  

I think that’s what happened too. But..,have you pulled the oil stick?.

Today is Bonaire! It’s time to sample the local cuisine.

Will he go down in flames again?  Will it get interesting? Will thing be edited out? Tune in to see!

 

I enjoy his reviews. He has a completely different perspective of most anyone else who does reviews. He’s socially awkward and readily admits it. Without hesitation he tells us he is on the spectrum and his mind works differently than ours.I’m not sure if he is a math savant or just spends so much money on cruises he will always get one for free. Follow along…he’s too honest for his own good but what you see is what you get…. Complete with some new teeth and a great smile.

Nothing like sunrise or sunset from a cruise ship balcony. I also love wandering around before the ship becomes alive. 

 

I don't know but all these cruise reviews want me to book more. It really is addicting. 😊

Me too. I want to book now!Ive never cruised carnival but these reviews make it very appealing.

Damnit! I just realized they put cheese on this! I don’t need that extra fat and dairy 😞
EDIT: I guess it’s mostly my fault; I forgot to say NO CHEESE.

It’s a minefield isn’t it? I’m allergic to folic acid so that leaves out almost all bread, pasta and most desserts  on any cruise. Our last trip was on MSC and the chef made me a gluten free pizza. I appreciated that.the only good thing about an allergy like mine is I didn’t  gain weight on the last cruise.
