Thanks for the photos of today's port. We'll be there in February-can't wait. So far, barely a sore arm and no other reaction to yesterday's new booster. I'm very thankful since I have to get the house ready for the grandsons' visit starting tomorrow. It will be a busy weekend!

A minor miracle occurred today-our income tax refund finally arrived. It included an $80 interest payment which we'll have to claim next year. It's a very overcast, humid (97%) day in the Seattle area- a bit different from all the sun lately. But still no rain! And around here the area between the street and the sidewalk is known as the parking strip or sometimes the planting strip.

Good to see the Seattle Mariners t-shirt. Off to the play-offs finally!

@Quartzsite CruiserYou could be a Seattleite. Birks and socks is the official footwear of Seattle-and mine too.

The caterpillar looks similar to those of the swallowtail butterfly but those are greener.

Another thing to consider is whether there is availability to upgrade. I called to ask about adding Club Orange to our Alaska cruise for Sept. 2023 and it wasn't available. The person suggested that I call back in a few months to see if anything had opened.

I think airlines are having fun putting us all in a tizzy. Our layover in London has now shortened to 1 hour and 10 minutes and it includes going through another security check. Last October it was a mess and took forever. Hopefully things have improved. Good luck to us all. 😊

Thank you for all the photos of Florence and Pisa. We will be taking the train from Rome to Florence, plus a bus tour to Pisa, before our Island Princess cruise back to Ft. Lauderdale in November. I was looking forward to this before but the photos have really amped up my excitement. We also added on a 10-day cruise after arriving in FLL and will then fly to Atlanta to spend Christmas with DS and DDIL, celebrate our 53rd anniversary 2 days later, their anniversary 3 days after that and finally a flight back to Seattle. Phew!
Have a great week and welcome to Fall.

Every time something comes up as 9-11, I remember getting ready for work (West Coast time) and having the tv on. When I see 9-11 on a digital clock I remember.
I can’t believe I missed Sewing Machine day yesterday. Our convention ended late Friday evening and my friends and I flew to Kansas City, MO yesterday so we could visit the Missouri Star Quilt Company stores in Hamilton-quilting capital of the US. Glad they have free shipping when you meet the minimum spend. My suitcase would really be overweight otherwise. Fabric is heavy!
Take care everyone.

How perfect! I’m in Florida for the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association convention-we’ll have to celebrate! Take care and have a great day.

Good Morning from hot, humid Orlando, Fl. I’m never here this early. Living on the west coast, we’re always dragging behind. No procrastination possible with convention meetings all day😕. Have a great one!

We have often found an outlet behind the bed although you might have to give up a bedside light. You will need a European adapter plug.

For those of you in Florida, would you please turn the heat down for the next week or so? I'll be in Orlando for a convention and not looking forward to the heat. We've had enough of that in the Seattle area. 😊
Have a great holiday weekend everyone.

I found quite a bit of information on the Italy Port of Call board. It sounded like there are several pharmacies in Civitavecchia that do the tests for not a lot of money. We'll find out in November.

Unfortunately, it's per cabin, not per person.

I believe if you have the package included in the fare, the child would have the unlimited soft drink option.

Just saw this on one of my online sites and thought of all of us!
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

SEATAC airport to downtown Seattle
-
There is a light rail station at the airport (go through the parking garage). The train takes you to downtown Seattle.

I've come to appreciate the system my aunt, who lived alone, had with her neighbors. If the window shade in the living room wasn't up by 10 am the neighbors would come knocking. Then one day the shade didn't go up. I'm so thankful she was found right away.

For those of you who have cruises booked, I saved a total of almost $2000 today on 2 of the future cruises we have scheduled. Nice way to start the week!

I just did a Google search and came up with several answers-I copied a couple of them. We will be needing a test on Sunday also so glad you asked the question.
Hi, I just got back from Rome on Monday. My hotel near Piazza Navona found a pharmacy open on Sunday for the rapid test for USA at 246 Via del Corso, near Piazza Venizia. They open at 10:15 AM until 5 PM. Euro 22.00 and results in 25 minutes.
Pharmacies have weekly shifts so that one per district will be open on Sunday; but you should not assume all pharmacies will take covid tests - my guess is that in Florence only half of them do - so be careful to arrange the thing in advance, do not leave it to the last minute. Some private medical practices work on Sunday tests, but again arrange the thing in advance.

Happy Wednesday everyone! I love making stuffed shells and found the easiest way to stuff the shells is with a pastry bag. I use a disposable one and can cut off the end large enough for the any filling I use to go through it.
