No cake, no fancy dinner out. We're leery of being in a group setting. We'll just bring in something for dinner, Maggiano's (not my fave but Jack's) or Chinese which is both our faves. He said the best birthday gift is being together, healthy and content. I agree! 😍 Our daughter is working on one of those photo books that will be chock full of family photos.

If we all chip in 50cents (LOL) we can bribe the the people that make the specialty cakes and order a cake to celebrate all of us. We could put in writing the Bella cruise or whatever. And celebrate together when all want to celebrate, and where-ever that maybe. Just a thought. If it's going to be .50 pp x 50 people that's just a tip pool. I don't know what they would charge, but I think it would be a lot more. Either way I'm in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted January 19, 2022 #44663 Share Posted January 19, 2022 So many January birthdays! Hope they were all spectacular! Dick will be 88 tomorrow. Normally we’d have everyone together at our daughter and son-in-law’s house for dinner with him choosing the menu. Any celebrating will happen after everyone is well, and really importantly, son-in-law is off crutches and able to cook our feast. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted January 19, 2022 #44666 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) We are in our happy place again. 🥂 There was a tornado watch which is rare for us and it also downpoured on boarding day. It was overcast when we left. Being towed in is a HA ship. I thought the ship hit the tug from this angle, but she was being towed in. Towed all the way to the dock. In one of the pictures I took you can see a cable. 5 ships were in port when we left. 3 Holland America, 2 RC and 1 Princess. There were 2 tender boats that kept going from 2 of the HA ships and then going around to another one. They were always empty coming back.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 19, 2022 #44670 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Photo books are such a wonderful gift. Love the one your husband received @dani negreanu. When my daughter was 16, her German class did an exchange to Germany. 25 girls spent 3 weeks in Germany, each girl billeted with a different family of a female student at the same German high school of the same age. Several months later, the German students flew out to Sydney and spent 3 weeks staying with the families of the Sydney students. The lovely girl my daughter was paired with and who stayed with us, gifted us a photo book of photos of my daughter’s time in Germany. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 19, 2022 #44672 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The German exchange was a huge success but I have 3 distinct memories of that time. First was when we picked up our student from the airport. We decided that on the way home, we would make a small detour and drive down to the roundabout directly in front of the Opera House, so she could see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. I still remember the squeals of delight from the back seat of the car when she first laid her eyes on both. Then as soon as we got home, she rang her parents to tell them she had arrived safely and excitedly told them she had already seen the Opera House & The Harbour Bridge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the Holland America ship was being towed in? Maybe they ran out of fuel. I don't follow HA, but there doesn't seem to be any tizzy about it on their Cruise Critic board.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 19, 2022 #44674 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) The second thing was, all the girls did lots of pre-organised activities together but there was one day scheduled for the host family to organise an optional activity. Quite a few did the Bridgeclimb. I gave my daughter the option of the Bridgeclimb or a helicopter flight over the Harbour. She chose the helicopter flight. On the day, we were driving to the airport and the sky was black, I was really worried the flight would have to be cancelled (and there wasn’t time to reschedule) but luckily by the time we arrived at the airport, the sky cleared and the girls had a magic flight over the harbour, the Harbour bridge & up to Manly.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 19, 2022 #44675 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The final memorable event from that German exchange is that it gave my English born father an idea to re-connect with his German girlfriend from his 20s. He remembered her village but not her address. The German postmaster was able to forward on my dad’s letter as she had family still living in the same village.. They got in touch, starting corresponding regularly and at the age of 80 my widowed father made a 3-week solo trip to his former German girlfriend and her husband and had a magical trip. So much so, her returned again the following year. One of the special moments of that trip was the former girlfriend’s husband flying my father for a day trip out to Helgaland in his own private plane. They still regularly correspond to this day. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
