Hello, Everyone! We have been infrequent posters but have enjoyed following different topics, such as Helen and Marty's current spectacular trip! Along that vein I would like to do the same. I would love to do a "Live Trip Report" but know I could not keep up, so I will do a semi-live here, if that is okay? We are leaving Saturday morning (early) flying to Las Vegas to help break up our super long trip to Hawaii! Yes, we going to try for a "do-over" of our Aulani and Pacific Crossing to Vancouver which was a "dizaster" last year, lol! Pictures to follow! If it would be too messy for the thread I will do a regular trip report...

Very late to the party! Hello, Helen and Marty! Loving your review of Japan! Our SIL, David is deployed there currently. He is loving it, also! Thank you for sharing your fantastic trip with us!

With or without the stink-eye?😃

Looked like John was wearing a GoPro video camera?

I have done it! I liked it... but I like trains! Since I was headed to the port I just grabbed an UBER from the last stop.

My guess would be Hell's Kitchen? A little more panache than the Bayside Marketplace...

I found that to be true at my hotel in Barcelona, too! When they finally understood what I was looking for, they found me four! Like you, I will bring some JIC!🙂

Almost looks like a pizza??🙂

And us in Southampton! 😃

Yes, I am at the 65 Union St location! Depending on the weather I'll walk or take the bus...

Just looking at all the stops in Africa made me wonder if there would be a need for additional vaccinations for that continent?

Is this true for a power converter? Rather than the cheaper adaptor most of us have?

Fantastic pictures of your tour!

I was thinking the same, lol!

Iceberg ahead!

I know a regular sized suitcase will fit through the scanners. However, the port crew did not allow me to do it. Insisted that I double-back and drop off my suitcase.

Another Minority member!🙂

Murres, maybe?

Going to give it a shot. I tried once before talking to the man outside PP who was handling putting people in taxis....Now I will try going inside and talking to the Concierge and hope for better luck this time! Thank you!

I think he was making a light-hearted joke? (He used the winking emoji!)

I used to think the same thing! But we've been stranded by RCCL Special Access in both Seattle and Bayonne! We also had trouble at Canada Place trying to get an accessible cab to the Amtrak station. Finally had to walk for blocks to find the Uber/Lift pickup spot. (It is NOT at Canada Place but down the street a ways...) In Bayonne, they would not let us back in the terminal once they discovered there were no accessible shuttles ordered for the day (we pre-booked and paid months in advance). That was terrible being outside in the cold with a special needs child. The workers were actually covering her with their own coats since we were outside for over an hour trying to get a transfer to the airport! Now we are trying once more to find a reliable transfer to YVR for April 2024.

I took a hearing test based on my husband's request that I can't hear him... turns out I have a hearing loss in the same range as the pitch of his voice! 😄

My first thought when reading that! They lost a great opportunity... plus he has an interesting writing style!

🎂 Happy Birthday, Birthday Girl! Hope it was completely fabulous!

She is well, thank you! Just had her very last forever appointment with her completely awesome University of Florida pediatrician...😢 Now a Mayo Clinic girl. Excited for Christmas!
