  1. Our daughters are in their mid40s and both have very responsible jobs. They eventually made the commitment to themselves that they weren't reading emails at night or on weekends or on vacation. There had been that self-expectation and they eventually they figured out that they were simply not that important.
  2. I did a little quick study and, yes, there are certain drugs not allowed into certain countries. I laughed (kinda) when I saw that Pepto Bismol is banned in France!
  3. Rather judgmental. We have wonderful things that we've bought flea-market-esque type places and "others." We call them "Art with a capital A" and "art with a lower case a." And cherish them equally. Unfortunately we have no more walls or flat surfaces to display. The first is made from a small rock of the tram to St. Teresa in Rio and other from a some place 🙂
  4. Well, we didn't eat there again. But we choose travel for the destinations. IIRC our next cruise was a Patagonian/Antarctica expedition with 400 pax and I don't even remember the food the trip was so amazing. And after that was a Norwegian coastal cruise with 100 pax and the food was outstanding. spare ribs, red cabbage, vegetable risotto, salad
  5. Yep and you're unlikely to give or get a drink order as the server was nowhere to be seen.
  6. I think waiting 20 minutes to get a minute is cause for annoyance. And the rest of the service was similar. And I KNOW what's acceptable and what isn't.
  7. Ah, so not from Brazil. They speak Portuguese.
  8. I've not said this previously but our only experience with the GDR was our last. Slow doesn't describe. We didn't get menus for 20 minutes and the rest was similar. So the specialties and the TC were it and great! We'll give it another try in July on Nautica.
  9. I actually saw a CC thread from a couple of years ago that discussed this at length, naming the name and it's still there.
  10. From the unknowing like I: What is the meaning of coulibiac? noun. , French-Russian Cooking. a fish pie usually made with salmon or sturgeon combined with buckwheat, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, scallions, wine, herbs, and spices, and served in a brioche or puff pastry.

  11. I agree. And, honestly, we just enjoy each other's remote company 🙂
  12. Okay, That's not how I read it but honestly too tired to reread.
  13. And how does any of that mean that they can 'fix' system/company wide problems? I think people are looking to complain. Who has contacted Mr. Del Rio? I'm a firm believer of going to the top when my first method doesn't work.
  14. If you do it now - five months ahead of time - seems like you'd have plenty of time. One thing I don't know about cruise lines is there mail sent non-air mail?
  15. Why? Doesn't everything get controlled by the people in home office? If some piece of equipment fails I'd think they'd have to have 'spares."
  16. I don't care enough to be SHOCKED but why would a single cruise ship have a true IT person on board????
  17. This looks super easy. https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/absentee-ballot/
  18. As the OP I thought it was odd, about six weeks out, that there was nothing else in the envelope
  19. Totally no biggie. And page 18 is the GDR with Baristas on the facing page.
  20. That guy you mention may well live in Seattle! Seattle-ites, maybe just a man. My 8 year old grandson refuses to change out of them until it's snowing and his mother makes him. https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/in-the-pacific-northwest-its-shorts-weather-all-year-long/
  21. I'm with you. I have NO desire to spend the whole trip in the same few places and dare I say 'ambiance'?
