Made it to Oakland and now at our family’s home high on a hill overlooking Castro Valley. A beautiful day heading for night in California.

..and how was the wine?

I have difficulty finding diet tonic water in grocery stores especially in small bottles. Have not seen on Hal.

Pretty flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles. Flew over Black Canyon of the Gunisson, snow capped mountains. Now have an hour plus layover for next segment to Oakland. A long day but worth it to see family.

Early to rise and currently onboard a plane for our first leg to Atlanta. We have spent a lot of time flying this year. Hence upgrades to First Class. Getting ready to shut doors. Thanks for the reports.

How about storing on the verandha if it can’t go under the bed?

Enjoying your wonderful live reporting of your cruise. Lot of work and I just wanted to say thank you.

I’m still sailing on boutique Prisendam but it’s now called Azamara Line. Love it!

It was a good review but it did appear she had not done much pre planning as she should have been aware of the Atlas Bar and I also think they just arrived early and expected to embark immediately. @maxmaxEnjoyed thanks for sharing!

Good morning! A light rainy morning made it ideal for sleeping in. We have a few things to clear out in fridge and give to neighbors as we leave for two weeks tomorrow morning. Sure seems Marilyn Monroe was quoted a lot? Finish the packing and will probably eat out tonight are the only two things on my agenda today. The life of Riley! Thanks for the reports and have a safe and healthy day.

If one follows regularly on these Hal CC boards there have been many of us who have tested positive and quarantined with minimal or mild symptoms while on cruises in the past year. It’s not over and in some areas annual flu cases are also quite prolific. Still looking forward to our next cruise. Just need to be aware it can happen again but it’s definitely not over.

@lindalerCongratulations on son winning chili cook off. Chili sounds good on this cold day but I guess we’re going to be watching glaciers today as DW is making Pea Soup for dinner!

Good morning. It’s a brisk 38 degrees this morning here in North West, Florida which made for a good night’s sleep and a late wake up. The new air purifier seems to be helping with my allergies. Have been to today’s port of call and with effort kissed the Blarney Stone. Eight years later I don’t think I would or could. Today’s quote seems just the opposite as these days we tear down monuments that we used to revere! Today is get the laundry done and start packing for our trip out West. Shouldn’t need to bring much as we have available laundry at both places. Thanks for the Fleet Report and to all who contribute. Have a great week. Bruce

The good life! Thanks for sharing.

Nice dining room view!

Good morning! It’s currently 40 degrees and will only get to 60 today. First day this fall that we are using the furnace. Need to start preparing for church so will just say thanks for the Fleet Report and postings. Have a great day!

It was reported that there was 800 cases of Covid on that Princess ship!😱

Have a great cruise. Bon Voyage!

Bon Voyage!🛳🍾

Good morning! Ironically, we went out to lunch yesterday and I had a delicious French dip beef au jus sandwich. Another pretty day here and we are back on neighbors cat sitting duty; as there headed to Troy State to watch Army and Troy State football game. After morning walk it’s back to harvesting the ever ending falling acorns. It’s the acorns 10,000 vs the squirrels 500! Rich thanks for the Fleet Report and to all our posting friends.

Never have had any liquids removed at terminal. Not same standards as TSA. Now bottles of alcohol is another story!

Bon Voyage!🛳🍾

Good morning and a heartfelt thank you to all our veterans. Well, we didn’t get any of the much needed rain from Nicole. It was very close but just a tad East. Looking at the erosion and damage along the shoreline in Daytona Beach area is an eye opener and so sad. Currently 66 degrees and will reach mid seventies today. I bought a Dyson Air Purifier yesterday in hopes of helping with my constant allergies. Didn’t work still woke up stuffy! Maybe it takes a few days. Not much on the agenda today but I do need to start thinking of what I’m going to pack for our upcoming trip to California. Such overwhelming pressure!🤔 Thanks for the Fleet Report and to all who contribute. Have a great day! Bruce

Good morning! Currently 61 degrees and may get to 71. With every small gust of wind our deck is being pelted with acorns. Same on our front driveway. We are hoping to get some rain out of Nicole but it’s not going to have any harmful effect on us. Roy I hope your BHB is able to dock today and you can start your cruise. Looking at PTZTV cam on Pompano Beach shows the Atlantic calming unlike what we’re seeing in Daytona area. Thanks Rich for the Fleet Report. Roy thank you for your faithful Care/Celebration and all other reports. Have a great day.

Per discussion with DW we were scheduled to visit Ilfracombe but it was cancelled due to weather!
