  1. +1 Greg @Sea Dog +1 Karen, and more pics of the "gang", pls. @Keksie +1 Mimi @jagsfan +1 John @Ozark_Kid @Bailey & Sophie Nancy, I presume you've moved from MN? If so, I'm constantly in your old "neighborhood" 😄. Thanks to Bob @bobmacliberty, I've discovered the "Prey" series of John Sanford, and I'm hooked.... Very intelligent writing. Started yesterday #15 !!!
  2. Thank you, Crystal. Glad you posted the link, and enjoying your "ride", along with my +40 years old Gucci 😉
  3. @Sea Dog, Greg, I think you might refer to the Amsterdam Hermitage. I completely forgot that they've opened a "satellite" one in Amsterdam. We were very lucky to spend 2 full days in the one in St. Petersburg, and I'm now looking forward to visiting when we'll be in Amsterdam next month. https://hermitage.nl/en/ I guess we're so used to the Israeli "standard"... guest toilet at the entrance, master bedroom with en-suite and another bathroom for the kids...Being a very hot country, some people even shower twice a day. Here's the long distance we'll have to travel from the guest room to the toilet on DS2's ground floor. It's a very looong rectangular house. The street ... DIL and GS1 on their way to the nearby supermarket, no car for the moment. The neighbor's cat came to visit. Elderly nice couple, do not speak a word in English.... Keeping in shape...
  4. They'll start Sept. 4th. Now they have to buy a car and start furnishing and buying all that's needed for school.
  5. + 1 Helen & Marty, Renee & Mike @FromSea2ShiningSea @ReneeFLL Same here, we don't mind where we sit, as long as we can be only the 2 of us. Just grabbed those seats on our return flight from Amsterdam [see below]. Being the rush travel of the Jewish holidays, El Al allocated a Dreamliner for this itinerary, lucky us... Thank you, Nancy. We have great news -- the "kids" were very lucky in finding a rental. The Israeli "networking" at its best -- someone heard from someone, etc. that a house for rent is about to "hit" the market, and asked the owner to grant them a "preview". Turns out the owner took a shine on my family. DS2 also offered an additional 50 Euro per month and advance pay of one year, and the house didn't even reach the market, saving them the "bidding wars...". So, first thing we booked a flight to Amsterdam, to spend with them the Jewish New Year and the following Yom Kippur. We hope that DS1 will join us during the Yom Kippur. Of course the flights are scarce (during Yom Kippur the airport and practically all the country are closed) and the prices are through the roof. Luckily, I've used points about to expire to "soften the blow"... Personally, we don't like the house at all, it is not practical for hosting, but, given the scarcity of rentals, they could not be picky. There is only one toilet at the ground floor (with a work/guest room 20 meters from it....), and another one in the only bathroom on the 1st floor. There is a nice guest room on the 2nd floor, but without any amenities. We'll see how it goes.... + 1 Bethany @TravelGirlinDallas + 1, keep them coming, pls. @ReneeFLL When we lived in Brussels, we used to visit quite a lot, and eat at Cafe de Klos, if you're into ribs... The "catch" is that they don't take bookings. If you're into shopping, Peek & Cloppenburg have nice and affordable merchandise. De Bijenkorf is more upscale.
  6. The rockets ALWAYS originated from the Gaza Strip.... 😢
  7. In the evening, the intervals are one hour. And it is a very long walk of 10 mins from the terminal to the Alilaguna pier. We bought the tickets right there.
  8. Thanks, I'm already. The moment I had the 80 points and the "title" Diamond, I've status matched with Celebrity. How do you feel?
  9. OK.... here I go again.... what are "scramblers" ??? Is the JR b'fast free? After I "hit" diamond in January 2018, somehow, all my cruises were with Celebrity. Bella 2 will be my first in Royal as a diamond....
