The 1st is a short on of Caden riding with me. IMG_1015_1.mp4 The 2nd is Kenzie and I racing Caden. IMG_1014_1.mp4 After racing I told Caden we need to have a 3 mile race. He is to fast for short races.

About the only time I have the opportunity to eat corned beef hash is while visiting a Windjammer. I'm looking forward to eating some in a few days! It's neat to see that there are some snow-capped mountains. We saw a bunch in early May. Thought they would be gone this time of the year.

Is this spicy hot?

I have been having fun on it. We took it outside where I was giving Caden and Kenzie rides. It can go up to 6.1 mph.

Is this your 1st? I have had so many I have lost count. Once I gave up drinking black tea I have gone long periods without getting them. There are different types of stones. What helped me was drinking pineapple juice. Also Sharon would mix Cinnamon and nutmeg and load them in capsules. I would take 4 twice a day. I understand how painful they can be. I hope you pass it soon.

Thanks Mimi! We cruise the 2nd. I am actually renting an electronic wheelchair called Whills. It is one that @brillohead Debbi recommended. I am looking forward to using it. Speaking of electronic wheelchairs, my new electronic wheelchair was delivered to the house today! I love it! It can do a 360⁰ tight turn. It is narrow and gets around the house easy! I was able to ride it down to the garden. I took it out front to the street and it was so fast my hair blew back some. They say the battery last for about 14 miles. It also let's you raise the chair up to 12 inches, an option called iLevel. I felt like it was higher. I will be able to talk eye to eye with people.

Here is a reveal video from some friends I want to share. The video was compressed when it was sent to me so it will be small. Hope you can see it because it is cool. 30521205772270.mp4 I tried and thought this posted this morning. I then wondered if it got deleted and why. I just found it in the reply box! Attempt 2.

@singinalot. I enjoyed following the journey. Thanks. Last week we visited Sharron's family. Her DB and SIL just got back from Turkey and shared pics. So I got a good double dose. Thankful you and Nate had another fun, safe adventure. Now please start considering going on the Bella 2 cruise. So many would love to hang out with you and Nate!

The name quacks me up!

@laurieal. Have you recoved fully from falling out of your chair earlier? It looks like the internet is working for you. What do you think. You probably already know that if it gets hard to post pics while at sea try at port from your cell phone. When we were there we got great 5g service at port and at least an hour after departure while on the balcony.

We cruised Alaska last year. While in Sitka we visited the Sitka National Historical Park. There are totem poles all over and there is no fee to visit. Here's a map. Notice the port in the middle of the map and the park is east, to the left, of the port. We walked to the park. At the time I still had my mobility so I do not remember if it would be a challenge for you. Once there the paths are gravel but pretty smooth. Here are some pics that may give you an idea. After we visited the park we walked to the Alaska Raptor Center. There was a charge to go inside but I don't remember how much. You like birds so you would love this place. If you feel like you need transportation to go to these places I haven't done the research. I do remember right outside the port were several options. If you choose these places I am sure you will enjoy them. Good luck.

If you have the ESPN app you may be able to watch it on your phone. We have done it before and it worked good.

Looks like a nice place to have lunch 😋.

When I had all the MRIs earlier this year the loud noise was like being at a really bad rock concert!

Sharon was having tooth pain last month. She finally went to the dentist. He checked it out, gave her a fluoride treatment and when she checked out she was not charged anything. We have a good medical community. Another advantage of living in a small town.

When I noticed the middle fish I had to zoom in. The smiles on there face makes them look like cartoon characters. 😄

The water looks like it is up to the glass like an aquarium. Good to see you are enjoying the cruise!

We cruise with inflatable noodles. They are very light weight and fold up so they take up very little room. They work great!

I couldn't zoom in to read it. So I downloaded and zoomed in. In case others couldn't read it.......

I bet that was really cool to see.

Laurie, sad to hear that you lost your grandfather. Good hearing that you had a great relationship with him. Sounds like you will always have great memories of him.

I didn't realize you were in such cold weather. 😆 Still is a nice place to hang out.

I love that! Great pic!

We are almost to Sharon's mom house in Huntsville Alabama. 35 minutes to go. I like seeing license plates that have a cool saying!

Thanks for getting this started. I am excited to follow. October 7th will be my 1st cruise with a wheelchair. I am renting a Whills. Last May we cruised from Hawaii to Vancouver. I used a rollator on that cruise for the 1st time. There were some super nice volunteers outside the port in Vancouver that helped us get to the taxi area. We have a deposit on an Alaskan cruise for next June on Ovation. I will be interested to see what you want to do at the ports. Have fun!
