mo&fran Posted June 19, 2021 #19901 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Well, this will not be a routine day in lockdown. We are getting packed for our 50 minute flight from FLL to Nassau. Our driver is picking us up at 1130 , and will be in plenty of time for our 340 takeoff. JetBlue says to arrive 3 hours before an international flight. Our arrival time to check-in for the ship is 530. WE booked a GTY and ended up in 6622, nice location close to the aft elevators. Tonight we sleep on the ship. Our last cruise was on Serenade , ending Feb 10, 2020. It was a B2B, 10 and 11 nights, so we did get 21 days in 2020. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micheline was supposed to be a boy and supposed to be named Michael, after her father's good friend. They made a slight name change when she ended up being a girl. We occasionally meet someone who knows someone with the same name, but it's rare. We did find this place in Paris: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the largest makers of automotive glass says their windshields block 98% of UVA and 100% of UVB rays. Your post says "from window" but I don't know if you meant the two front door windows or the windshield? If you meant the windshield, I'm curious why you added the clear tint? I do know that Laura's transition lenses don't operate in the car due to UV blockage. It's annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted June 19, 2021 #19911 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Well we don't have to water today. LOL. It is pouring and a little windy. Not hurricane wind and rain though. We lost power for a couple of minutes but it is back up now. The good part is it will be in the 70s today. The sad part is the Blueberry Festival is canceled and my husband was going to take a tractor to show. He is going to be bored today but at least Red Power is coming up soon and he will go to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make them at home as well! Almost once a week for lunch. 😋 Used to make the shrimp sandwiches...but have switched to shrimp rolls ...or actually shrimp wraps using low carb soft tortilla shells. Prefer them over the heavy bun. I saute the shrimp with blacken seasoning and butter. Can't get the NE style hot dog buns in Florida...so wraps it is. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...not a fan at all of the "warm water tails"....the mushy kind with no claws from Florida and the Carib. Yuck! My sister loves them and actually dives for them during season from her other home in the Keys. And nope...have never seen the NE style rolls in Florida. But we really do like the wraps anyway. What I can't get up here....grits of any kind, and decent shrimp. Sooo...Lobster and crab it is, and my suitcase was packed with grits from home. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen those as well...and in fact they might work better than the NE style hot dog rolls I have been finding up here. They seem to have gotten smaller than I remember from previous years...and fall apart when we stuff them. Will try small sub rolls and slice the sides off next time. Experiment time! Fun to experiment when you have lots of time, and are far from a quick run to the grocery store. 😉 In fact I bought salad mix to have with my left over chicken...straying away from Maine seafood for a bit. But I forgot to buy salad dressing...so I am making my own today. Another experiment....Had leftover spaghetti and left over chili in the fridge...so last night we did "5 Way Chili". Last time we had that was in Ohio during a flight layover. Yumm! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
