  1. We used a credit card that doesn't have foreign transaction fees.
  2. My printing & cursive writing used to be pretty good --- printed a lot when I was transcribing dr's order & still my printing is pretty decent but my cursive has gotten worse over time, particularly my signature, since I had to write it so many times over 25 years as an RN. We only do vote by mail in Washington state & have for years -- a few years back I had to send in proof that my signature was really mine since it no longer resembled what it had been.
  3. To answer the OP's question....anywhere from 0 to maybe $300 not including excursions. We did the "oh I'd like to spend some time here" for Puerto Vallarta....had a couple of port calls & really liked the vibe so we rented a condo on the Malecon for a week -- other than the hot/humid weather in May, I'd do it again in a heartbeat...hubby not so much. I'd move there if I could.
  4. I'm not a popcorn fan either & I don't like watermelon.
  5. That's how I felt on the K - skipped dessert several nights.
  6. @ottahand7 I had auditory hallucinations...mine were old time religious hymns....woke up my grandson & accused him of having his radio (which he didn't have) on too loud. Took the dog out & was still hearing them outside. Very annoying & you can't get them to stop....it's like a continuous loop.
  7. I know that song....Camp Sealth on Vashon Island, WA
  8. I bought a couple at the Dollar Store -- one has been plugged in (here at home) since April 1, 2023 & is basically always on since the bathroom it's in is kind of dim.....so 24/7 for 9 months on the same battery.
  9. Did you do a Google search for the store?
  10. Thanks - we're actually not going on a cruise but flying to Maui & I couldn't find a FAQ that addressed this -- I had spine surgery early in December & still am limited in walking + we'll have luggage so getting from the drop-off area up to ticketing, thru Security & taking the train to the appropriate gate would be a real challenge thus I thought this might do the trick. I'm not using any assistive devices which would be another wrinkle in the picture.
  11. Oh no....things keep going downhill for you guys...time for a break (& no, not a real one). (((HUGS)))
  12. I have to chime in about window hogs - for medical reasons on our last cruise we were window hogs - me with severe emphysema & him just recently a total knee replacement. We didn't exit the vehicle at any stop. This was a bucket list/one & done cruise & we did want to experience it. I didn't hear any grumbling - sometimes there are reasons that others don't know about.
  13. Haven't seen any posts from the Seattle area today ---- we are COLD! Small amount of snow last evening/overnight but now at 1:45 pm it's 19 ----- bluebird sky but windy. Not supposed to warm up for a while & snow's threatened for Thursday. Hubby's playing hummingbird feeder bingo -- bring one in, put a thawed out one out....
  14. It always seems to be the same couple of people who hold up departures both on HAL & private excursions.....what don't they understand about telling time?
  15. Often I review my after visit dr/pa notes....it amazes me what they chart vs what they actually did....it's rare to get any kind of hands on (or stethoscope on) exam any more. After my recent spine surgery I can count on 2 fingers the staff (& that was the same RN) that did listen to my heart/lungs & I am an emphysema pt that they kept on oxygen my entire stay even though I'm not on it at home.
  16. We got a Group-on for this in Vegas.....what an experience....& would love to do it again.
  17. The same machine on the K & I agree -- the coffee was awful!
  18. Thanks --- that's where I read about Prospect. I'd like some first hand info about them.
