@JazzyVPrayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery. @grapau27Thanks Graham. We are looking forward to our stop there. Cashew bark was very popular when I made and sold chocolate.

And May 30 and I will be on her.

The people who supply food for Air Canada flights are on strike. The news broadcasts have warned passengers to bring food, snacks and water.

DD had scarlet fever, after strep throat when she was 20. About 20 years ago. GP hadn't seen a case in years. Thankfully she responded quickly to antibiotics. I hope Coco does too.

Basilica Cistern in Istanbul is interesting. Close to other attractions. Seen in the movie Inferno.

They picked a good day to get married. It will be our 50th anniversary.

We spent a week in Pahia. Waitangi is very close, and passengers are tendered in near it. Very interesting to visit the Treaty House there. Russell is a short ferry ride from Pahia. Both Russell and Pahia had craft shows when the ships called there. Lovely crafts, many wooden items made of kauri wood. We were supposed to visit again on a cruise, but due to azipod issues, we missed Pahia and Auckland. We recently had a sick 4 year old DGS with us for over a week, when he couldn't go to school. Terrible cold that played havoc with his asthma. And of course, he shared the cold. We have both been miserable for over a week, but antibiotics are finally kicking in. DD made us a big pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup, and we ate it for several meals. She makes it in the Instant Pot, with the chicken still frozen. Quick, easy and delicious.

Thanks everyone.

Any idea when you can book the complimentary dinners. So far the website says it is unavailable for booking. Cruising in May. Thanks

I've had the same issues and so has a friend I am cruising with. Very frustrating.

I am in Canada. Submitted the passport info thru a Service Canada location. Expected date of arrival was 4-5 weeks. Passport arrived in 6 days. With no special processing fees. Amazing.

Good morning! Thank you to all who keep the Daily up and running. Your efforts are appreciated. Prayers are sent to all who are experiencing medical issues. Congrats to all who are celebrating. And thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for DH. The meds took a long time to kick in, but he has now recovered from pneumonia. @marshhawkI hope that credit card shows up soon so you can get on with your day. My favourite place in Rome is the Pantheon. Enjoy. I am glad you made the decision to use limos. It is hard to get around with luggage, and the train to Civitavecchia is a struggle with luggage. Not to be a fear monger, but please be careful in Rome. I speak from experience. DH had his backpack stolen at the train station, along with his passport. So just be aware of your surroundings. And most of all, have a WONDERFUL time.

@JazzyVHappy Birthday! Thank you for all the work you do putting together the lists.

VOV again? It is an amazing cruise.

Last night we greeted the Police Memorial Ride to Remember, to our city for their overnight stop. They are riding (bicycles) from the Ontario Police College near London, to Ottawa, a distance of 400 miles. This is to remember their fallen comrades. Tomorrow they will attend the National Memorial Service on Parliament Hill, where 11 names will be added to the Memorial Wall. Sadly, there is already a name for next year, as an RCMP member was killed yesterday in BC. I am proud my son is participating in this ride. He is honouring a friend's wife, both RCMP officers. She did not die in the line of duty, but passed away from brain cancer, 37 years old, with 2 young boys. We usually attend the Memorial, but DH is recovering from pneumonia so we will watch the Live Stream.
