My wife has a small fold up Triaxe scooter. They are not recommended for everyone because they are the fastest because she likes to ride on bike trails with me. They are barely larger than a suitcase you check in when folded and we have had no problem taking it on any plane flights.

Compared to most scooters, it is like a car in 3rd gear where most are like a car in 1st gear. It can not go up a steep incline like the slower ones in the lower gear but it is great for traveling long distances in short order. The battery usually stays charged all day. 

It would be dangerous in the hands of a person with limited physical or mental ability as it can go so fast. It is almost useless in tall grass or rough terrain but great on paved roads or sidewalks.

She loves it on all the ships we have been on as it is small and can fit anywhere a person can go and people on scooters are usually placed first in line in many places. It fits easy in the trunk of a taxi where ever we go and takes up very little room in a restaurant.

You may be disappointed then if your expectations are what you experienced with a single ship restarting pre covid.,

 

Every thread says dinner service is slow, some flaws to steak house, etc. Personally I'm in the group, just restart as best you can. Get me on the ocean. 

It wasn't pre-covid. It was post covid on June 5 2021. And as bad as I want to cruise I will eat Guy's burgers if I have to as long as the drinks keep flowing.

I'm all for cabin crawls but I believe they should be limited to no more than can fit in an elevator at one time. When I have a crawl come to my cabin I like to host them with a little special shot and maybe a quick photo shoot which is impossible with 50 people.

You never know what to expect. We got a taxi in New York City and went to put a small 50 pound fold-up scooter in the trunk and he had 2 old tires in there and it wouldn't fit. We had to put one tire in the front passenger seat and the other dirty tire in the back seat with us.

Went for a walk with my new girlfriend

and we saw dogs mating.

She said: "How does the male know when the female is ready for sex?"

I replied: "He can smell she is ready . That's how nature works."

We then walked past a sheep field and the ram was mating the ewe.

Again my girlfriend asked: "How does the ram knew when the ewe is ready for sex?"

I replied: "It's nature. He can smell she is ready."

We then went past a cow-field and the bull was mating with the cow.

My girlfriend said: "This is odd. They are really going at it. Surely the bull can't smell when she is ready?"

I said: "Oh, yes; it's nature . All animals can smell when the female is ready for sex."

Anyway, after the walk, I dropped her home and kissed her goodbye.

She said: "Take care and get yourself checked out for Covid-19."

Surprised, "Why do you say that?" I asked her.

She replied: "You seem to have lost your sense of smell."

First cruise is no excuse for poor service. I was on the very first cruise, the Millennium on June 5 and after 50 cruises this one had the best service I ever had. Their food was fantastic both in the dining room and the buffet. And this was even coming from a foreign port that they never sailed out of before.

You can credit poor food and poor service to poor planning and supervision. I am on the Mardi Gras in 20 days and I hope it is better then.

Just so they don't cancel my cruises. I've had 15 cancelled already and will go crazy if they cancel another one. Personally, I wish 100% had to be vaccinated.

What will this mean for our August cruises out of Florida?

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then, he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, 'Dad'. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.

I've been finding real passion with Stacy. She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the crack and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.

Love, your son, Joshua.

P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table. Call when it is safe for me to come home!

Steve moved back to the States and is selling Tropicante and right now it is being run by one of his long time workers until the building is sold.

If it is closed I recommend the Krazy Lobster.

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
... As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
.... As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.
... I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
... I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.
... So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.
... But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left.
... My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.
... I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
... As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.
... I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.
... I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
... I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.
... I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
... I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
... So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.
... Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

... At the end of the day:
* the car isn't washed
* the bills aren't paid
* there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
* the flowers don't have enough water,
* there is still only 1 check in my check book,
* I can't find the remote,
* I can't find my glasses,
* and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

With the good news of cruises starting again, do we still need this joke column to cheer us up?

Well, just in case, here is another one.

Looking at SeaDay Brunch menu today . . . it's been updated since our last Carnival cruise. My husband will get the filet and eggs (our favorite Carnival cruise food hack) but I am looking real hard at this - anyone have any feedback for me?  It fits a lot of what I love, more-or-less paleo/Whole30 compliant, veggie-heavy, non-inflammatory, satisfying flavors I enjoy, and something that would be too much work for me to bother with at home. 

 

The only thing I dislike about it is it will definitely be farm raised Atlantic salmon which does not compare with wild caught sockeye salmon.

An old lady is walking around in a supermarket calling out, "Crisco, Crisssssssco!"

Soon a store clerk approaches and says, "Lady, the Crisco is in aisle D."
The old lady replies, "Oh, I'm not looking for the cooking stuff. I'm calling my husband."

The clerk is astonished. "Your husband's name is Crisco?"

The old lady answers, "Oh no, no, no. I only call him that when we're out in public."

"I see," said the clerk.
"What do you call him at home?"

"Lard ass"

I just finished ours. I printed my luggage tags also for the cruise on 8-7-21.

Go to the ports of call section and you will find various recommendations.  I recall hearing about Victor Bodden.

Yes I have been to Roatan many times and Victor Bodden was great. Also had other great tours to see monkeys, sloths and other animals and greatly enjoyed a semi-sub excursion there also.

I am on the 8-7-21 cruise and I like to rent cars in many of the ports we go to in the Caribbean. However, Roatan and Jamaica are two islands where we feel unsafe traveling around without a guide. There have been many warnings about this so we prefer to find some type of guided excursion to go on.

We were just in an identical cabin on the other side of the elevator, #7139. It was a great roomy cabin and I never heard the elevators. Wish all cabins were that large.

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come
and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the
garage: "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"
The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic
was working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So
Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair
any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just
like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get the really big
bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to
the mechanic... "Try doing it with the engine running."

Sorry if my post sounded that way to you. I was just trying to say how much I enjoyed the Millennium so that you would feel you made the right choice. If I had known exactly what you were looking for, perhaps I could have been more informative.

I get various emails from Celebrity where I can do different things to earn benefit points at home and I was wondering if Royal does this also because I need one point to reach the next highest level.

I was just on the Millennium for the June 5 cruise and I was searching for any signs of wear or needed repairs. I will report that I saw a rust spot on the bottom of my balcony railing about a 1/4 of an inch across. Other than that I could not tell it from a new ship. I hope this discovery doesn't stop anyone from cruising on her.

A mother and her 5-year-old son were flying Air New Zealand from Auckland to Sydney.
The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"
The mother, who couldn't think of an answer, told her son to ask the flight attendant.
So the little guy walks up to the galley and asks the flight attendant, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"
The flight attendant responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me that?"
The boy said, "Yes, she did."
"Well, then, please tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Air New Zealand always pulls out on time. Ask her to explain that to you."
