I just know I need more income than expenses LOL...…….I will have that but just not as much as working full time. It is definitely a process. Great that you know and understand that it is a "PROCESS". It all takes time and patience. Lots of twists and turns to evaluate the varied financial options and to consider the many potentials. Glad to know about your financial advisor: "he is not a stranger, I have known him for nearly 15 years." But, getting an independent, "second opinion" can have its value, too, in checking his assumptions and information you are being given. With a few financial advisors, they can be also "sales folks" who could have their vision blurred by the commissions being paid from different product options they are pushing. THANKS! Enjoy!

UKCruiseJeff Posted May 25, 2019 #2002 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Coolers, On this special day before Monaco Grand Prix ... a special mention and remembrance for the father of it all for many ... the unique Niki Lauda. He was an extraordinary man of unbelievable courage and talent and the world is a touch smaller without him. We’ve been fortunate to have flown with him at the controls of his plane and been in his garage at Monaco when cars were a touch more basic. He not only made racing cars safer for drivers, but his fight with Boeing made planes safer for us all. The piccy may be very fuzzy but our memories of him crystal clear. RIP Niki.

Rare jpalbny Posted May 27, 2019 #2003 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Guten morgen from Frankfurt! Headed home after a great trip. We got here last night and stayed at the airport Hilton, very nice. Took the S-bahn into town for a nice dinner at Haus Werthym, where I satisfied my Schweinshaxe craving. Cool old place! Then a walk along the river. Pretty here. Next stop Detroit! Over and out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted May 27, 2019 #2005 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Thanks mysty. It was awesome! Not quite your amazing round-the-world odyssey, but great fun. Chris was an outstanding tour guide. I could only aspire to be half the Ukrainian that she is! Blog to follow at some point. Lots of notes and pictures to sort through first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 27, 2019 #2006 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Good morning, JP, glad you had such a good trip...safe travels home. Hi everyone, Happy Memorial Day to all.....thank you to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We have today off from work. Not doing much, nice relaxing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TLCOhio Posted May 27, 2019 #2007 Share Posted May 27, 2019 YES!! Nice pictures from J.P and safe travels back home. Nice funny by mysty. Today is Memorial Day, an important point of recognition in the United States. Last night during a moving program on PBS about Memorial Day, they started the upcoming celebration for the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion on June 6. Not many of those heroic veterans are still with us. From visiting that site in 1995, below are three of my visuals. That setting is so incredibly important and historic. Never will forget that experience and why it is so remarkable to our freedom. Any others who have visited this impressive site? THANKS! Enjoy!

MBP&O2/O Posted May 27, 2019 #2008 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I can’t claim to have visited the sites ... it is on my bucket list ... but on a similar vein I am researching my family tree and ‘lost’ my grandfather. I went into the Commonwealth War Graves site and searched fo BROWN, J. I was astounded at the number of results on just the one surname with the one initial (Well in excess of 1000) and it made me think just how many different surnames / initials would produce a similar result..... Like the row after row of simple crosses, horrendously sad. As it happens I ‘found’ GF buried in Grace Church Cemetery, in Cranston, Rhode Island, so that is somewhere else to visit 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 27, 2019 #2009 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Terry, every time I think of booking a cruise to Paris, I have just never done it. All the River cruise lines do a Paris/Normandy itinerary. Maybe next year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe M, sounds like a close relative of the Alaskan Mosquito, Ive already been warned about them. Lets hope the Muse doesn't run out of my favourite mozzy repellant, Tanqueray. Intesting week here. OH being made redundant this Friday. Opening his own TA as soon as we're back from Alaska. Lots of groundwork done but lots more to do before we go. Only 20 sleeps now! Glad you had such a good time JP, looking forward to hearing all about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a warzone in some areas😥 Appreciate, Lois, your interest, concern and follow-up. Most of what has been covered nationally was in the Dayton area, about 70 miles to our west and SW. Despite all of the bad damage and super high winds, fortunately, so far, there has only been one death reported. Some of "it" was much closer to us in Central Ohio, but nothing directly affecting us. We were in our basement, protected by one-foot thick poured concrete walls, watching local news doing continuous, live reporting; seeing the warnings; tracking weather radars, etc. Much of this was happening around us at midnight and after. Kept power and Internet during the loud storm and warning sirens were going off. Lots of heavy rains, etc. All well, warm and sunny here now. BIG, BIG clean-up happening now in those affected areas. Some state roads still closed now. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Sydney to NZ/Auckland Adventure, live/blog 2014 sampling/details with many exciting visuals and key highlights.

Rare mysty Posted June 1, 2019 #2021 Share Posted June 1, 2019 And now for something completely different. I stumbled on an article about Golden Eagle Luxury Trains and found the trips intriguing. I have my eye on the Grand Alpine Express. 🙂 I thought maybe other folks would be interested. And yes, I know, it is not a cruise. It is more like a river cruise by rail. https://www.goldeneagleluxurytrains.com/journeys/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillyf Posted June 2, 2019 #2023 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Love your reply Stumblefoot! I have itchy feet at present and all the train trips look wonderful to me. I'll have to study the website a little more. We went from Provence through Switzerland to Venice by train last year, but haven’t been on a train overnight or on a tour by train. We have a cruise from Broome to Cairns in September/ October this year so all sorted, but nothing planned for the 2020. Cruise or Golden Express? Decisions decisions! Can’t do both! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha Ha Stumble 🙂 ! This rail adventure would be for 2021. We have 3 back-to-back-to-back cruises booked for May-June 2020.

Our plan for now is to alternate. 🙂 We'll see how that goes. We're attempting to chip away at the bucket lists (we have different ones) Norway and Iceland for 2020 and Budapest and Vienna for 2021. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
