This always so much cracks me up Harry. π My mom had some relatives down in Bakersfield. I was about 25 when we stayed down there and had a family dinner. This kind, elderly gentleman arrived and introduced himself as my Uncle Glenn, and of course went on to say that he hadn't seen me since I was about 3 years old. It seems to be that standard thing that distant relatives always say. π After he left, I asked a different aunt where Glenn had been all these years? She said, "Oh, he was in San Quentin, honey." I said, "You mean like the death row prison, up near where we live? Why?" Aunt said, "He killed a BAD man." I am looking at my mom this whole time. <She shrugged> Because, of course, no one in our family would ever kill a good, regular person. LOL. π And apparently, he was a trustee at the farm/garden. I never knew. And we did not ever visit. I don't know. It was something that happened after the war. (WWII) Some military beef that carried over. He was mom's BIL's brother. It always makes me laugh when you say that. βΊοΈβΊοΈ

Oct. 1 Vancouver-Hawaii Cruise Cancelled
Coralc replied to HealthEconomist's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Welcome to Cruise Critic. That is a bad itinerary change. It is not surprising that Lahaina is out, but they could have replaced it with single days in Hilo and Kona. Isn't Napali just a sail by, (Sea Day)? Which ship were you booked on? -
Is club soda included in the classic soda package?

I'm not a big football fan, but I watched the 49'ers/Packers game yesterday, and the Chiefs/Bills game today. And then Bill was all of a sudden interested, of course. π They were both good games. Kind of thrilling with the back and forth and low point spread. All four teams were playing really, really well. It will be interesting to see who makes it to the final two. And it looks like another lackluster Super Bowl halftime. βΊοΈ We are packing to move. I seriously pared down the number of books. But it is still a lot, and they are way too heavy. I still haven't made it over to the small, and full closet in the spare room. Article said, the average home has 200,000 items. Even with tossing/donating/selling all kinds of things, I am starting to believe it. π

LIVE!!! ICON OF THE SEAS INAUGURAL
Coralc replied to cruisinghawg's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It is certainly colorful! βΊοΈ -
I can highly recommend Rima Beach World in St. Maarten for shopping. You can spend hours there, and they have tons of things, souvenirs, and beachwear clothing...all reasonably priced. You will probably have to take a cab to get there, (it is quite aways downtown) but it is a fun store. I think we walked back. https://rimasxm.com/. Well, I *think* we walked back. We made it about three quarters of the way back. And I was way too hot. A lady cab driver stuck her head out the window and offered to take us back to the ship for $5. I jumped in immediately. Bill was confused, I just told him to get in. βΊοΈ

I love your trip photos and commentary, Harry! There is something strangely interesting and compelling about seeing other people's vacation photos on the computer. When we first signed on to the internet in 1994, with Netscape on our Compaq computer, the first thing we looked at...was a stranger's vacation photos to Mexico. And then for several years, we received emails and vacation photos from movie director, Hal Needham. We didn't actually know Mr. Needham, but it was fascinating to see him and his family and all of the interesting places they vacationed. I did finally write to him and tell him that we were not the intended recipient. π

Isn't that a weird feeling? Walking in sand after hip replacements feels like your legs are getting sucked off. I can't do dry sand anymore. Wet sand is okay. And I know what you mean about getting knocked over by the surf! Quite the surprise, the first time it happened. Boom! I was down and clutching the sand as the wave went out. I stood up and was immediately knocked down again. I had so much sand in my bathing suit, I could have made my own beach. I asked my hip surgeon about it, because it was so unexpected. He said, didn't I mention that? We kind of destroyed your core muscles, when we put the replacements in. I said, No. And can I get them back with exercise? He replied, Hmm. No. Probably not. π

I'm curious. If granite is a natural stone, how can they tell that your countertop will look like the showroom sample? It is really pretty. Do they just have a lot of quarried pieces with the same brown veining in them? We just went with quartz, so I'm not sure how it works with stone. Yours almost looks like marble.

Getting To Port Of Galveston From Houston Hobby Airport
Coralc replied to johnasmith99's topic in Gulf Coast Departures
Before Lyft and Uber were allowed, we used Galveston Limo both ways. It worked out very well. We stayed on the seawall at the Hilton, so we could walk to the grocery store and several restaurants. -
It used to be available in the MDR after dinner. But I don't know if they offer sorbet anymore. It would not surprise me if Royal Caribbean offers ice cream now, instead.
