    Or don't cruise.

    Our dining table, which isn't used that much any more, has become our "staging area." So a few days ahead we'll start putting anything there that absolutely needs to go and we don't need it before then. Probably finish up around dinner time the night before we leave.

    Which is exactly why I won't try to exempt myself , My one time on jury duty I was appalled at the true lack of being able to understand the facts.

    Thanks for the education. Interesting. And I could live there for the food 🙂

    Thank you so much. I learned a lot from this. And, yes, our litigious nature is a nasty one.

    They didn't speak English? That's pretty unusual, isn't it?

    We're going to be looking at those for sure. We're definitely destination oriented and sea days are pretty boring to us. Also cruises that make stops at beachy places. No interest there. When we had our place in Rio we finally stopped even taking bathing suits. We never went in the water. Sat on the great sidewalk under an umbrella and had super food and drinks.

    It was the word "natively". I was thinking you meant outside where you live perhaps. I've never thought of other countries in the "native" way. You might want to check out Western Europe where it seems almost everyone speaks English. And poor you. I can't imagine traveling and not eating with the locals. Hopefully they'll come up with a cure.

    Oops, didn't read this before posting about experiences on land. So are you saying that you don't go out to eat?
  10. clo
    I mean no offense but are the 'nicer' restaurants you go to on land able to provide those things?

    Just after 3PM here so maybe a nap before cooking dinner (Roasted Pork Belly - a no-no). No nappy.

    I was in Barcelona where Catalan is frequently spoken. I speak a little Spanish but no Catalan. I was looking for a particular place and approached a young man and asked "Habla Ingles?" He replied "How may I help you?" A fun travel memory.

    I'm a Boomer and love your comment. And I haven't exempted myself.

    Absolutely. And English is spoken, better than most Americans speak other languages, pretty regularly. Especially young people.

    I'll 'hawg' a lounge chair for that 🙂

    Oh, and she wasn't joking.

    The case I was possibly going to be seated for had a doctor's appointment that I had scheduled months in advance. A pretty important one. The judge said she could halt the trial that day !!! But we're on the Left Coast LOL.

    And a year and a half ahead of time??? (That original itinerary looked really nice.)

    These two have such very, very specific likes that it's pretty impossible. One, for instance, like to rock climb, go off the grid, kayak down a river with the three of them. LOL

    Thanks. I had focused on "cordials."

    Just to be clear, this isn't included on the new Simply More wine, beer and champagne, right?
  22. clo
    Is that true of all cabin's TVs?

    That's what we like to do. 'Google is my friend.' I can find places anywhere. Even found the "best soup in the world" according to Bourdain in Hue, Vietnam. LOL Side streets are also a great friend 🙂

    Ooh, I love 'mushy peas.'
  25. clo
    That's the only way we eat them!
