  1. Renee - If you're doing everything on your Samsung phone, ignore everything that I said above about Windows. Do what Mark said and change the photo date directly on your phone. That should be much simpler. This is for an S23 but it's probably very similar for you:
  2. If I understand, you took all of the Glance Of The Day photos for all days at the same time...maybe on day 7. You want to change the date of your Glance Of The Day photos so that it seems like the day 1 Glance Of The Day photos were actually taken on day 1 and can then be organized with other pictures from day 1. If that's correct, there's not a simple way to do that in Windows, but there are a few options. I'm assuming that you're using Windows but if not, there may be similar options for MacOS. I'm not a Mac guy. Option 1 is to download 3rd party software that can edit the properties of a Windows file. Using the 3rd party software, you would change the "date created" value of your picture files. If you don't want to use 3rd party software, option 2 is to do something similar in Windows but you will need to sort differently. In Windows, open File Explorer and right-click on one of the files that you want to re-date. Click on Properties. In the dialog box that opens, click on the Details tab at the top. A few rows down, you'll see Date Taken. You can click on the date value shown there and change it. You can either type in a new date or click on the little calendar icon and pick a date from the calendar. The issue with this approach is that Windows files have several different date related properties. Date taken is not the same as date created or date modified (or date acquired, or date last saved...etc.). The date created and date modified values will stay the same. You would then need to sort your photos based on the date taken value, which requires a few extra steps. In File Explorer, select Details from the Views drop down at the top. This will typically give you a list of the files with information on the file name, size, type, and date created/date modified. Right click on an empty area to the right of the column titles in this view and you'll see a list of properties that you can display, with a check next to the properties that are currently being shown. Click on More at the bottom of the list and you'll see dozens and dozens of file properties that you can show. Scroll down to Date Taken and click on it. Date Taken will now be listed and you can sort on Date Taken to keep your Glance of the Day photos with your other photos from the same day. This isn't quite as complicated as it sounds, but it's not simple either. Option 3 is to rename your photo files. Put something like "Day 1-" at the beginning of all day 1 photos, including your Glance of the Day photos. You then sort based on Name and your photos should be grouped correctly. Since picture files are usually numbered sequentially, photos from the same day will still be listed within that day in the order that they were taken. This isn't hard but can be a lot of work, depending on how many pictures you have. There are also 3rd party software programs that can do this in bulk, i.e. pick all photos from day 1 (including the Glance of the Day) and put "Day 1-" in front of all of them. Sorry I can't think of anything easier. Edit - Looks like Mark and I replied at the same time. Between his Apple answer and my Windows answer, hopefully we have you covered.
  3. My first dozen or so trips to "Paris" were plane changes in CDG. Business trips to Europe always went through there. I Never had a chance to leave the airport. Finally, I took a train from Brussels to CDG and stayed at the Sheraton in the airport overnight before a morning flight the next day. I got to the hotel around 4:00pm and asked the concierge about seeing the city in a couple of hours. He had obviously been asked this before as he pulled out a map and gave me directions for a whirlwind tour. Take this train then that metro to this stop. Go up and see Notre Dame. Go back down in the Metro and take this line x stops. Go up and see the Eiffel Tower. I saw all of the big highlights in about 3 hours, never looking at one thing for more than about 5 minutes. I felt like Chevy Chase looking at the Grand Canyon in National Lampoon's Vacation.
  4. Interesting video for those who want a little more technical explanation of what happens during a total solar eclipse. Included are some experiments that may be fun for kids, or for grown-ups who are geeks at heart (like me). Unfortunately, we're too far away from the path.
  5. Outstanding idea. The problem is that, with the amount of drink packages/drink coupons, it would cost a lot and they may not generate any more revenue. Not a good equation for the accountants that seem to be running Royal these days. No if they can change it to something that they can charge for...
  6. Very interesting read. I prefer the island after the Perfect Day changes (I know that some will disagree), but we did get to enjoy it once in the tender days. We rented cabanettes (I think that's what they were called) on South Beach and had a great day.
  7. Someone should do a psychological case study on Rob. Whether Survivor or Deal or No Deal Island, everyone knows and says that they should get rid of Rob first, because he's too dangerous. Yet that never happens. Through some combination of smarts, charm, celebrity, people thinking it's smart to ally with him, he never seems to get eliminated. I think he figures out individually what people want (boost their self-confidence, stroke their ego, etc.) and gives it to them, so they end up wanting to keep him around. It's fascinating to me. As for last night, the girl who didn't follow the plan should have gone for her first instinct. She could then pretty easily explain to others why it would have been the smart move. As she said, she succumbed to peer pressure and now she has a target on her back.
  8. It looks like the pecking order has been set, with Zoey at the top. The question is who is second on the list...you or the cat? 😁
  9. Don't think he'll be able to see their bathing suits from that altitude. They're hard enough to see when you're only a few feet away (or so I'm told).
  10. Thanks for keeping this thread going with fantastic photos! You deserve to get a "rare badge" for your contributions.
  11. Look around your local area for health food stores. There's probably one near you somewhere that sells organic, free range, antibiotic free, non-GMO, etc., etc. chicken. Just be prepared for them to be smaller and a different color. It's amazing what those extra additives can do.
  12. I'm going to guess that dinner is at the Hard Rock Cafe. Edit: Just checked the Air Canada flight status and the estimated arrival is now 17:01. I don't want to jinx it either but should be plenty of time for a 6:45 reservation, wherever it is.
  13. Hopefully they are tightening all of the lug nuts. Your in-flight meal looks MUCH better than Delta.
  14. I'm always looking forward to your reviews. Should be great as always. Warning if you're flying Delta first class (which I think you often do)...don't count too much on the lunch. Lunch on our last 2 Delta FC flights were cold box lunches. The first flight we were in row 3 of 5 FC rows and they were already out of turkey sandwiches. Second flight we were in row 5 of 5. Turkey sandwiches were again gone and I got the last chicken meal. Micheline got stuck with the cheese plate (I offered her my chicken 😉). They no longer have extras to ensure that you get what you want. I complained to both flight attendants and both commented about cutbacks hitting in several places. Delta First class ain't what it used to be.
  15. For you real estate people here...Is this something that would need to be written into a sales contract? If I were buying a house, I would expect the existing landscaping to be the same when I moved in. I'd be upset if a nice flower bed disappeared.
  16. Delta is probably happy to see that United is in the news instead of them. American is probably doubling down on maintenance to ensure that they're not next.
  17. We were worried about that for Hideaway Beach. Based on the frequent discussions here about noise levels on the ships, grandkids, etc., I don't think many of us are in the Hideaway Beach target audience. 😁
