I'm trying to get other things done but before rain hits but want to wish Jared a Happy Birthday!!! Roy

Thank you for the TGIF report, Rich. I'll pass on both the Mud Pack and Vegetarian days, salute translators, but my favorite is Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Day. I love the Tolkien quote but have not been to Nafplion. No idea what the meal is. My alternative is Honey Pineapple, Rack of Lamb with cannellini beans and garlic pearls, and Black Forest Cake, my likely choices September 28, 2017 on MS Oosterdam if I had not been in Canaletto.

@HAL Sailer, great news on your family house. @Cruzin Terri stay safe as Ian approaches. Things don't sound good for your getaway to Barbados. Just wondering, would it be possible to go somewhere nice and inland when your anniversary comes. Your house may be the best place to ride out Ian but it's no place for a celebration. I have a bit of my own good news. I got a message from my niece in Orlando that her family is ok. I can't confirm she has power but she does have a generator. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2017 Oosterdam cruise. September 29 was a sea day from Astoria to San Diego. Roy

Awesome news. I expect tree experts will be hard to find but hope the mango can be rescued with less sophisticated help. Roy

Thank you for the Thursday report, Rich. 3 great days to celebrate, with a special salute to World Maritime Day. I love the Lewis quote. I have not been to Majuro. Not sure about the meal but I don't have a slow cooker anyway. My alternative is Chilled Raspberry Soup, Oven Roast Chicken, and Mango Blueberry Crisp as served on MS Oosterdam September 29, 2017.

Sorry, no inside information. Roy

Today's sunrise was taken at my local park this morning as the sun was emerging from the trees. Roy

I LOVE it. Roy

And things are changing rapidly and probably not completely predictably. I'm not on a cruise in the area soon but if I were I would not want to miss a port simply because HAL couldn't guarantee it's availability several days before embarkation. If a port is ready for and wants us I would want to go there. A little flexibility is a definite bonus for me. Roy

I've been trying to think of Crystal people in Florida and coming up empty. The one person who came to my mind is a great lady from my early days with Crystal that I never met. May @Judith02 rest in peace. Roy

Bon Voyage. I wish you satisfactory water levels and a wonderful first river cruise. Roy

I have been following all the BHB that were taken out of service post-covid until they returned to service. Today the Maasdam (now Renaissance) left Aigio where it has sat since 9/3/20 on the way to Malta. Roy

Have you been in Florida too long? Roy

Thank you for the Hump Day report, Rich. I'll pass on the beer but love the other 2 days. A great reminder from Mother Theresa. I've been to Vietnam on the Zaandam but not Nha Trang. I think I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Spaghetti Pomodoro, Lamb Cutlets, and Pistachio Gelato as I enjoyed in Oosterdam's Canaletto September 28, 2017 in a dinner with @Copper10-8.

I'll try on the other one: I added an s to the http: which usually works. Roy

Thank you for the Tuesday report, Rich. Three great days, I do hope all US Dailyites are current with their voter registrations, and as noted in the quote a few days ago I hope I am strong enough to forgive when appropriate. Special wishes for safety of our Florida and Georgia Dailyites. We expect remnants of Ian over the weekend; it shouldn't be much by then but my booster appointment is for Saturday during a walk in a local park and I hope it doesn't get rained out. An interesting quote by a native of my state. I have not been to Havre St. Pierre, although I see Amera (former Prinsendam) will call next August. Today's meal actually sounds pretty close to my alternative, Apricot Soup, Rosemary Roast Chicken, and Peach Crisp as served on MS Oosterdam September 27, 2017..

Yes!!! Roy

i assume you have luggage tags for either Fedex or UPS. You might try calling Luggage Forward to see if you can drop it off at one of their pickup points. Roy
