pipedreams62 Posted January 1, 2010 Author #51 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Good evening everybody. I'm determined to make it to the first page. I'm doing a live report and I'm buried 4 pages back. The mug that lost it's color in the dishwasher 14 days ago is still on the first page:eek: Don't worry I've got a team of scientists working round the clock trying to correct the ceramic and it's reaction to the pigment of various paints. I always tear up leaving Guatemala,what a great tour we took the other day. (2 days ago) We went with Go with Gus Tours. Gus couldn't make it,but he left us in good hands with Oscar and two ladies. We were the only ones on the tour and what a tour we got. We first went to a macadamia farm,then to a coffee plantation,then for lunch then to all the sights in Antiqua. What a stunning beautiful place. We have loads of pics which I'll share when we get back. Yesterday was a relaxing sea day and New Years Eve was fantastic. They had it in the Queens lounge. They had a live band and dancing . At 12 oclock our captain rang the ships bell on stage and we all had a grand celebration. He announced that his first resolution was to get those dam mugs dishwasher safe,so the cruise critic people could get a nights sleep.:p We are anchored tonight and are having dinner at the pinnacle. Then off to bed and we are waking up at 4:30 am to scope out our best spot for going thru the canal. They are having a poolside barbeque now (yes there's that one guy that has to swim laps in a speedo while everybody eats their ribs):eek: Happy New Years Everybody!!!!!!!:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suse Posted January 2, 2010 #53 Share Posted January 2, 2010 To the guy in the speedo doing laps whilst you are eating ribs? That is way too funny. Well, we had our lobster dinner last night for New Year's eve. and we are boring next to you. I didn't even baste it in beer. In bed by 9. How fun are we. Enjoy the cruise thru the Canal. That is so next on my list.:) Of things to do. Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suse Posted January 5, 2010 #75 Share Posted January 5, 2010 He could be attending his lodge meeting tonight.Loyal Order of Racoons meet in the Crows Nest-1900hrs. Rich Or he could be at one of those secret Masons meetings. My father was active in those, and they were always secret. He never told me. But Loyal Order of the Racoons is good, or in my neighborhood: Loyal Order of the COYOTEES. I did see one dead recently, on the road. :eek: We have so many coyotees now that we are starting to call them pet names like Fifi, Mimi, Loverboy, and so forth.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
