Crazy For Cats

Good Morning from the Zaandam, thanks for today's report. It was foggy overnight and the ships horn was loud and clear in our cabin. We booked an excursion to see some highlights. First view when we woke up. Early sunrise. Still docking. DM was transferred out of ICU into a regular room. The doctor will review a loop that was implanted awhile ago yo see if that reveals anything.

Thank you all for the well wishes for DM. DS is at the hospital to be with her and she is keeping me updated. DH agreed to walk around town as long as I promised not to go to the Citadel. One of the shops that sells carvings had a 50% off sale. I found some cats and DH hot a dragon. For the garden club. This flower was beautiful and the picture doesn't do it justice. The artwork on the buildings is very interesting.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today's daily report. It's a beautiful day in Quebec. After sleeping in a bit we had breakfast in the PG, service and mimosas were perfect. We will walk around town in a bit with nothing specific to do. Late yesterday the good sister let me know that DM blacked out and fell while walking outside. She's in Paoli hospital. Early reports were very bad. Overnight the diagnosis is slightly better but still not good. DS will keep me updated as things progress. I hope everyone has a good holiday.

Tonight's sunset.

We made to the ship! Embarkation went quickly and we unpacked. Flowers for DH were delivered. He seemed surprised that I remembered. Lunch was the taco bar followed by a Mango daiquiri.

Good Morning from Montreal, thanks for today's daily fleet report. We had a good night's sleep and feel refreshed. I did wake up at the usual time to serve breakfast, guess I'm well trained. Heading down for breakfast and to see the HAL contact for ship transfer details. I hope everyone has a good day today. A nice view from the hotel.

Good Evening, we are checked into the hotel. We had to take a taxi since it was after hours for the HAL transfer. The hotel said that with a receipt we should get reimbursed from the ship. It will be lights out in a few. Thank you everyone for your support through the day.

They are disembarking the plane now. I'm hoping to get in a nap on the plane.

Good Evening, our plane left Boston about 30 minutes late. At least we are in Halifax and our next flight should leave with a 30 minute delay. So long as we get to Montreal tonight I'll be happy. Or at least as happy as i can be knowing we will get to the ship on time.

Good Morning, I laid down for a bit and Mona curled up beside me, such a sweet girl. I just got off the phone with HAL and updated them on our new flights. The operator sent the ground team an email with the update and gave me a number to call if no one is there. We booked the HAL hotel with transfers and really want to keep that in place. So far no new updates from Air Canada.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. I woke up at 2 am only to see that our 7 am flight to Montreal was cancelled due to staffing issues. After a couple of calls we are rebooked through Halifax and will hopefully arrive around 9 pm, instead of 9 am. I’m very nervous about this change and though Halifax is nice I don’t want to get stuck there. I think this makes a mess of our HAL transfers. I’ll try and call them later. We went out for a large breakfast so I shouldn’t get hungry until we get to Halifax. I’m going to try and take a short nap. @kazu not only Mona, Ashlee would join in.

I never trust the kids to wake me up early when I’d want them to. They’d be very happy if we stayed home. We each set an alarm just to be sure to catch an early flight.

I like sending it as a pdf. It has worked very well since they started allowing it.

Good Afternoon, we checked in with Air Canada and printed our boarding passes. While I had the printer warmed up I scanned my CCL statement and emailed it to add the benefit to our December cruise. I got a reply in 10 minutes that the benefit was applied. I’m impressed.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. It’s another beautiful day here and DH complained that it’s winter!🤣 it was 51F when I woke up. The past two mornings I listened to my furry alarm clock, Mona, and got up at 4am. I’m hoping that helps with getting up at 2:30 tomorrow. I’m willing to be she’ll let me sleep tomorrow. It’s going to be a busy workday. One project is on hold until Tuesday and I will transitioned coverage to my manager, it’s too complicated to assign to anyone else. In between meetings I’ll get a load of laundry done and run the vacuum through the house. I hope everyone has a good day today. Mona better have me up no later than 3 tomorrow.

Good Afternoon, thanks for the daily fleet report. Yesterday’s rain and humidity are gone. It’s currently 70F and low humidity, DH would claim winter is here 😂, I find it very comfortable and refreshing. This morning has been nonstop with work. The thought of working on these projects next week will definitely motivate me to get up at 2am Saturday to catch the plane to Montreal. I’ll happily forget about work for 11 days! @dfish today’s recipes look especially appealing. @Mr. Boston safe travels I hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

I saw this on FB along with his picture. Very sad.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. It’s a rainy morning but is expected to clear by the end of the day. I ordered meds for Jasper to be picked up last night before we leave. I couldn’t pick them up because they closed early. I’m hoping I can escape today before they close at 2. On the plus side Jasper gained 6oz when he was weighed two weeks ago, still waiting on test results. At some point today I’ll try and set up arrivcan on my phone. I hope all are friends stay safe from the hurricane.

DH knows about the upgrade. He is in for a surprise and now I can get the concierge to help celebrate 29 years together.

Good Afternoon, thanks for today’s daily report. Today is a beautiful day, happy to not run the ac. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion since I don’t eat lobster. I think I’m making spaghetti instead. I got a very unexpected email from HAL this morning. It was a Neptune suite offer that I thought reasonable, especially since we were over the Ocean Bar. After about a 15 minute hold I got an operator and eventually secured the upgrade. I’ll happily reprint everything tomorrow when I’m in the office. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily report. Today is cooler and less humid than yesterday so the ac gets a break. Did a little more weeding this morning. Currently doing a load of laundry that has a few things to be packed. I plan on finishing getting the upstairs cleaned today and then it’s time to rest.

Thank you!

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. It’s a cloudy and muggy day here. The weekend plan is to have DH give me a haircut, finish up packing and make the house presentable for the pet sitter. I’m also trying to get motivated to weed a bit in the front yard. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Bon Voyage!
