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

@bennybear I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. That is a beautiful picture .

Good Morning from a cool and sunny day at the beach Temps will be in mid 70s today so a nice day. I do appreciate my Social Security check but like most, I paid into it since I was 14 years old. We are scheduled to go to Belfast on the VOV this summer so thanks for the pictures. Have been to Ireland a few times but never to Belfast. I am looking forward to it. It is great to see so many cruising. It is like the pre pandemic days. They are building 2 new badly needed parking garages at Port Canaveral. That port has grown so much in the last few years. Now the infrastructure needs to catch up. It is the end of the month, so money counting day at the library. The money is from used book sales and a copy machine. We use the money to put back into programs. Our annual membership drive starts next week. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Hard to believe your trip is over. I have certainly enjoyed all your posts and pictures. Safe travels home.

@summer slope Have a wonderful time. Orlando airport is always a red hot mess even with Global Entry! @dfish Safe travels to you and Sue. It is a wonderful cruise. Enjoy!

Hello Rich Have been following along and very much enjoying your posts. Thanks for the time and effort. Daniel was our CD on our Australia/New Zealand circumnavigation in 2022. We loved him. Not sure if you are going to Exmouth in Australia. If you are, ask him to tell the story of the "Emu Wars". It is very funny.

What a great day for your Birthday! A very Happy Birthday and may you have many more!

Good Morning from a warming and cloudy day at the beach Currently 70degrees but expected to go to 79 today. A few more days of warm before going back to the 60s. I know. Nothing to complain about. I do enjoy a good belly laugh and I laugh often. It is good for you. Dont like beer, so I really dont pay much attention to the cans. Pets are a game changer. They certainly play a big role in our lives. Have not been to todays port. Wiould have liked to but probably not. Thank you all for the very warm welcome to our latest addition, Ryan Charles. Mom and baby both doing well. She will be in the hospital for a few days but is OK. @dfish Congratulations to Sue on her new grandbaby. @Cruising-along A very Happy Birthday to you. May you enjoy many more. @aliaschief Hope you get into Easter Island today. @RMLincoln Hope your DH is doing better today. Playing golf this afternoon. Have a meeting on Saturday regarding the tournament in March. We will see how that goes. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Looks like you are having a really good time. I am very much enjoying following along. Thanks!

Have a wonderful time. Stay safe and enjoy every minute. It is a beautiful place.

Well some really good news. My nephew ( who is also my Godson) and his wife welcomed a beautiful baby boy this AM. She was having a problem pregnancy and had trouble with their first delivery. So we were all very concerned. She was sent to Beth Israel in Boston and delivered a 10 pound, 10oz boy. Yes that is not a typo! His name is Ryan Charles. Charles is after my late brother . This would be his first Grandson. Cant post pictures until I have permission. He looks like he is ready to join the Team!

Good Morning from a sunny and warming day at the beach It is currently 73 degrees. Perfec! Suppose to be warm for the next several days. I was taught to write via the Palmer method. Dont think I will be measuring my feet. Love Pies of all varieties. Have not been to todays port. @smitty34877 a very Happy Birthday to you! May you have many more. @DWAliaschief A very Happy Birthday. Hope you enjoy your special day on board that beautiful ship. Strong thoughts and prayers for those that are undergoing medical issues. Quiet day here today. Getting some chores done here. Stay well and enjoy today Charlene

Excellent pictures! Thank you very sharing with us. It is definitely on my list.

So glad you were all able to get in! Looking forward to the pictures! thank you for all your efforts to include us in your travels.

Have a wonderful journey!

Good Morning from a sunny but cold day at the beach I dont own any sweatpants and only have 2 pair of sox to wear with golf shoes. Usually wear sandals. @StLouisCruisers Sandi, Thank you for the great pictures of Singapore. Brought back many memories. DH spent a lot of time there in his working years, even had an apartment in Clark Quay. I was only able to go once but it was wonderful. It is on our booked WC for 2025 and really looking forward to it. Our weather remains cool and windy. Suppose to warm up to mid 80s by Wednesday. Its an El Nino year and this is what we get! Hope everyone stays warm and comfortable. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Pictures from Kangaroo Island. We were there in 2022. We were quite late getting there and all morning excursions were cancelled. I was able to book an afternoon one , just because I wanted to see the island. Tendering was very slow and many passengers were not able to go.glad I went, it is a beautiful place

I Good Morning from a very cloudy day at the beach Warm right now but rain and cold coming in tonite. No fog like Ann @cat shepard is experiencing. I also didnt notice the date earlier. Was just looking for Tuesday. No dragons for me but hats off to publishers. I have a Kindle but still prefer a book in hand. No to hot and spicy. Some spice is ok. We have been to Tahiti twice , 2019 and 2022. First time we did a private tour with Unique Tahiti" with Tracey. Great tour. 2nd time it was raining and we just walked around the downtown. Went to the Market which was fun. Totally not accessible so didnt get too far. I need to find a pair of comfortable walking shoes for the VOV. I am a flip flop girl and hardly ever wear shoes. But I think I will need something that is waterproof and comfortable. Any suggestions? Sending warm thoughts to all of you going thru cold, ice and snow. Be careful. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a cool, rainy and windy day at the beach. It is currently a very raw 61 degrees. I know, that is summer to most of you. Yesterday, shortly after posting, the sun came out, the sky was blue and warmed to mid 70`s. So we headed to the golf course and it was closed due to flooding ! Cant win! Csections are a wonderful thing. Many babies and their Mothers would not have survived without it. Many people were flying kites on the beach yesterday. The Kite surfers were out in force on the river. It is really too bad that the ships are unable to go into Fanning Island recently. It is really a unique place and I enjoyed it very much. Funny story- my sister lives in Massachusetts. She was at Lowes buying potting soil, planters, etc, everyone else had shovels, salt etc. This guy looks at her and said what planet do you live on? LOL. She said the planet of make-believe! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a rainy day at the beach It has been storming since the middle of the night. The rain is coming in bands, so dont know when it will end. I feel bad for all those cruisers out of Port Canaveral today, they and their luggage will be soaked! I agree with @MISTER 67 this winter has not been very pleasant. The one good thing is that the golf course has not been crazy. Usually packed this time of year! Not complaining after reading about the "frozen tundra". I have never experienced that type of cold, nor do I plan to. Please stay safe and warm to all of our Northern Dailylites. We were in Nuka Hiva in 2019 on the Eurodam. We took the 1 excursion around the island with all the locals. It was interesting. Pretty Island. Was scheduled to play golf this AM, but that didnt happen. So not much on agenda for today. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

We were there in Oct of 2022. We rented a car from Avis. They had a shuttle which picked us up at the port and brought us back. Not all the rental agencies have shuttles so be sure to check. It is abut 40-45 minute, easy drive. Great day.

Good Morning from a cloudy day at the beach Not saying anything about our temps after reading about what some of you are enduring! I never smoked. I was one of the few of my college class that didnt. I never liked the smell. It was hard to avoid the smell in those days as people smoked everywhere. @StLouisCruisers A very Happy Birthday to Ren! I feel like we all know him. @rafinmd Glad your treatments are going well. Take care of yourself @MISTER 67 Thank you for your service to our country. Also for the pictures! Still working on insurance or our trip. A necessary evil. Playing golf this afternoon if the rain holds off. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a bright and sunny day at the beach What a difference a day makes. It is cool, only 58 degrees but sunny. The ocean is calm and minimal damage. Mostly branches. The Christmas tree was blown over in the park, should have been down now anyway. Our weather forecasters said because this is an EL Nino year, expect more of this. Hope everyone did ok. @kazu Oh my, Jacqui. Glad you are not seriously hurt. Now have to go drag everything back out again. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Our Tornado warnings have all been lifted. We had some pretty strong winds and heavy rain. Still raining. In the middle of it all, a MSC ship left Pt Canaveral. They had a very rocky ride. I think there are some branches down but cant really see in the dark and we are not going out there! Thanks for all your thoughts for us Floridians.

Ann, yes we just pulled everything in and storm shutters are down. Crazy weather. Ocean is wild! Glad you are ok. We have a little bit more to go. Thanks for thinking of me. Stay safe Charlene
