@aliaschief Is today your Birthday? A very Happy Birthday to you!

I think the teenagers and you would enjoy the area downtown by Coconuts. The beach is a nice sandy beach. the pier area can sometimes be gravely. There are lots of food and drink options . Coconuts provides beverage service on the beach. Plus there are lifeguards, some beach areas do not.

The sweater is beautiful! Looks like you are having a great time and enjoying every opportunity! Thanks for all the updates. Loving it!

Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach Presently 71 and suppose to hit 80 today. Hopefully the crazy weather is behind us. My company left yesterday after a very full but fun time. Then some cruise friends stopped by on their way back to Canada. They spent the last 2 months in Naples. They were here on their way down also. It was great to see them. So between all my company and trying to tie up loose ends with the golf tournament, I have been very busy. All good. @cat shepard Ann, Wishing your sister a quick and uneventful recovery. That is scary stuff. We were in Tonga in 2022. Loved it there. The people are so welcoming. I will pull up some pictures. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

@superoma Great picture! Happy Anniversary.

Some pictures of Phillips Island. We went on an excursion there in 2022 from Melbourne. Went to the Penguin Parade. Rainy cold night , best excursion ever. We loved it!

Thank you for doing this. Appreciate it!

So sorry to hear you had to go through all that! I am very happy that you are on the road to recovery. Take it easy and follow your doctors orders and you will be dancing again soon!

Good Morning from a sunny and warming day at the beach Interesting collection of days. I have not been to todays port, thanks for the pictures. @richwmn Sorry you are missing Kangaroo Island. New Zealand is very serious about the condition of the ships hulls. Last year when we there on the Noordam, 2 ships were denied entrance to Fjordland , one was a Princess ship. We were ok., hope you will be also. @JazzyV Wishing you the best today. Hope it gives you relief. I am still working on the catering issue. Hope to resolve today. My SIL, her sister and cousin are coming for the next 5 days. They will be here shortly. They will keep me hopping , thats for sure. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a cool but sunny day at the beach Good selection of days. The quote is pretty accurate. Never been to the port. Sounds like everyone is enjoying their cruises despite a few bumps along the way. Been busy here with a few things going on. Our annual golf tournament is coming up on the 8th and now the caterer is backing out. Going to another place this afternoon. Doing the membership drive for the library and budget time is approaching. I am thinking of not seeking re-election for the board. It is getting a little too much. Our volunteers are aging out and the young ones are too busy with other things. I get it. Young mothers have the PTA, soccer clubs , working, etc that take their time. But all want the programs. We will see. Golfing this afternoon with my son. It will be fun! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

@cruising sister Great news! What a cutie! Warm thoughts and prayers to that sweet baby and her family. Hope to hear that she will be heading home soon.

Safe travels home.

I love Crazy Shirts! I have a few pair of their shorts. They are so comfortable. Safe travels home.

Have a wonderful time!

Safe travels home.

Ann @cat shepard have a wonderful trip!

Good Morning from a warming and sunny day at the beach Happy Valentine`s Day to all of you. @superoma very Happy Birthday to your twins. @Suslor A very Happy Birthday your DH Lots of people traveling. Great to hear. I know there are a lot of people in town. Was in Orlando yesterday and it was crazy! Playing golf this afternoon. It will be some extra exercise because it is "cart path only" due to fertilization. I am hoping that cuts down on the crowd. We will see. Finally got our travel insurance for the VOV. YIKES! Unfortunately it is a necessary expense to me anyway. Be safe and enjoy today Charlene

@MISTER 67 Happy Birthday to you! May you have many more. enjoy your golf game!

I just noticed that I have been a member of Cruise Critic for 23 years today! Where has the time gone!

Good Morning from a warming and sunny day at the beach Currently 68 and going to 76 and n wind. It will be a nice day. Plan on walking the beach later to see how much erosion has occurred with all that turbulent surf we have had the last week. We no longer receive a newspaper. In fact it is even difficult to buy one here. Publix and Walgreens have a few of the Orlando newspaper but that about it. I like cream cheese brownies and green bean casserole. Never been to the port. @Haljo1935 A very Hapopy Birthday to you! May you have many more. @JazzyV Thank you for keeping our list for a year. I dont know how you do it! This is such a wonderful thread. People are so caring about each other. We learn si much here, how to cook, garden, travel and port info, geography and past hstory. It is amazing! Lot to do today so best get at it! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Have a wonderful time!

Good Morning from a very windy day at the beach We have gale force winds and a pounding surf. Waves are predicted to be 18 feet high. Will stay off the beach today! I was saddened to hear about Toby Keith. I enjoy his music and he seemed to be a very nice man. May he rest in peace. Poor King Charles. I hope that his treatments are successful. It shows that no one is immune from that terrible disease. @ger_77 Good news about the appointment change. Hope DH has good results. @seagarsmoker Best of luck with your new job. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Havent seen any of your posts which I enjoy very much for awhile. Hope all is Ok.

Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit Good Morning from a sunny but cool day at the beach Sun is shining, the sky is blue and the ocean is calm. No complaints. Car insurance or any insurance makes my eyes water. A necessary evil. Probably should change my passwords. We were at Lake Gatun in the mid 90s. I remember the Columbia very well. We were all lined up waiting for the landing when the announcement was made of a "System Failure". We all just stood there in shock not really comprehending at first what had happened. Sad, sad day. Prayers for their families and all the very brave men and women of the space program. @NextOne Sending strong thoughts to you today on your DDDH birthday. @smitty34877 Hope your household gets better soon. Stay well. Playing golf this afternoon. A little later than usual but with all the visitors here, it is busy. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
