Coralc Posted March 14, 2021 #10602 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I hope everything is okay with @Domino D, too. But I was wondering if maybe he does corporate accounting or something and maybe this is busy tax season? Strangely, some people seem to have lives beyond Cruise Critic, even when we aren't cruising. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a town called Schaffhausen and had an office with a view of the Rhein. I would jog near the office. There was a bridge over the Rheinfall that I had to cross and you could feel the roar of the water. When I got married, we had a small gathering at this amazing restaurant and watched the waterfall be lit in green that night. I love Switzerland. We spent a couple of days in Zurich when my oldest daughter was about 1 year old. We hiked part of the Planet Trail with a portable stroller. About halfway through the trail, we decided to hike down the side of the mountain, with me carrying my daughter and my wife carrying the folded up stroller. I nearly slipped and fell several times. Young and stupid! I've been to Geneva many times on business trips and my former boss (a Brit) lives there. Beautiful lake setting, great mountains for hiking and skiing, fantastic restaurants. When the weather is nice, it seems like the entire city is outside doing something active. If only it wasn't so expensive! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted March 14, 2021 #10606 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Today is a 23-hour day, so we are pretending we are on an eastbound TA, our favorite kind of cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cleaner: "ya, right".. @Sunshine3601 @Lionesss I forgot to mention... since for the last year my friend didn't travel anywhere... therefore no peeing.... the dry cleaner one day asked her: "what happened to your cats, are they OK"?😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too thinking about Domino D and wondering if he's OK. His last post was on this thread, December 23rd, 2020. Absolutely nothing since then, hard to believe that the tax season started just before Christmas... mainly from a daily poster... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love St Augustine. Have only been there for the day. Ate at Harry’s Seafood which was pretty good, mostly loved the atmosphere in their outdoor dining courtyard. Oh absolutely! They are the highest rated B&B in St. Augustine, which has something close to 30 different B&Bs there. Stayed at Bayfront Wescott, just across the street from the water. Really fantastic service and attention to detail. Decadent breakfast! Parked our vehicle once dropping off our luggage they brought up to the room, then never used it until 3 days later. Everything is walking distance...unless you want to go to the beach, which we opted not to due to very heavy tourist time (spring break/bike week). Surprisingly quiet at night there, since not directly on main drag. We dined at Collage...excellent! Had lunch at Meehans...would not recommend. There are many good restaurants in the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! We’re hoping to head down to FL for a couple of weeks mid-May as long as DH has received his vaccine. Will definitely check them out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted March 14, 2021 #10616 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Today nice cool day in Gatlinburg. Doing the touristy trap stuff. Enjoyed going through the Hollywood stars auto museum saw cars from fast and furious movies to flintstones. Then at our next museum I must have experienced a sign from above. Telling me to book THEE BELLA CRUISE. It happened in Riley’s Believe it or Not. And it brought back memories. Hmmmm See below. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried some for lunch at Meehan's Irish pub in St. Augustine for lunch last Wednesday...awful! I love Shepherds pie, and love to make it myself...but the chef there loves ground pepper way too much. Could not even taste the ingredients...real shame..he ruined it. Sad when the cooks/chefs do that. We have salt and pepper on the table if you want overload on spice. 🥺 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 14, 2021 #10618 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Slow day around here. Set the clocks, that needed to be changed. BBQ sausages tonight for dinner. That’s it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ sausages tonight for dinner. That’s it. I have two "smart" atomic wall clocks...and one "dumb" atomic wall clock. The first two reset themselves...but the third one must have failed atomic lessons. 😮😵 The rest of the clocks are just plain dumb. 😄 At least my phone is indeed a "smart" phone. 😉 Pork tenderloin is headed for the grill tonight, with side of baked sweet potatoes, and some homemade crock pot red beans (with the bulk of it destined for my big pot of chili I am making on Tuesday). 😋 Edited March 14, 2021 by island lady 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
