I had forgot that he was the principal of a high school in NJ which is in a really tough area. He considers all the students his kids and has done a lot for the community. He was on Ellen originally because he had put in a free laundromat at the HS for the kids. He gave him $100K which he has now used to put a farm in that all the food goes to the families and they also make hot sauce from the vegetables that they sell and the kids involved get the royalties. He has helped many other schools set up farms too. It is nice to see he really is a good guy. As an Educator residing in NJ he should have a command of the English language.As a resident of NJ he should know that Staten Island is in New York City. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gender-equality mind can't accept it.... I can't wrap my head around this either. Although in the antique shop we are in there was a dealer from that region. His wife wore pants but she did wear a small scarf. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son-in-law didn’t believe my daughter when she told him he had to wear long pants in St Peter’s Basilica. He was turned away, and their kids were upset and were afraid to leave him outside. They thought he’d get lost! So they decided to just wander and they found a man selling paper slacks and paper blouses. So Jon wore paper pants over his walking shorts and gave them away as they were leaving. That vendor probably drives a Mercedes to work. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful views of Manhattan. We got to see the NCL Gem coming into Port. We are assuming they came in early due to high winds expected tonight. Does anyone notice what they’re eating? Or even carry on a conversation? That is a fantastic view! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was selling plastic garbage bags with a hole in the bottom for people's heads to go through. I thought it very odd that she could not enter wearing a holter top but wearing a garbage bag was perfectly acceptable. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean has found a new way to get me to book more cruises. This just came in today’s mail. The problem is, it was supposed to be Oasis. The one cruise we had booked on Ovation, Royal canceled on us. Now my wife says we have to book Ovation, since we can’t have a block for a ship we haven’t sailed. That's too bad. The earlier blocks were much more detailed. Yours doesn't seem to show the Northstar or the pandas. It must be their new vendor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Covid tests out the wazoo here at our house. Last week we received our 4 from the government, end of January our County health dept was giving out 4 kits per car via a drive thru at local park and I still have 2 or 3 of the proctored test kits from emed. Anyone need a test kit? We got our government cheese today. It was 20 degrees and they were in the mailbox for 6 hours. I am thinking, that they are bad, since they are not supposed to freeze. Another successful day for the government!!!! They are so awesome, and do so much for all of us. 😇 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the government's fault that they sat in your mailbox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far my favorite port to sail from and to return to is NYC , remember staying awake all night on my return to see New York skyline and also Statue of Liberty. Miss the days when I could just take a taxi to the ship . Great pictures. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitaivegas Posted February 18, 2022 #48895 Share Posted February 18, 2022 My mind is on my cruise, unfortunately it’s not till 3/6. I burnt toast this morning and set off fire alarm in our apartment while my DD works from home. Boy did I get a lecture from her. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 18, 2022 #48896 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) The walk starts at Milsons Point Station which is the first train station as you head north from the city over the harbour bridge. (Alternatively, you can walk across the Harbour Bridge from the CBD to Milsons Point Station). On exciting the Station, you walk down to the harbour’s edge for glorious views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Passed this Emu & baby sculpture that a resident had in their front garden.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 18, 2022 #48897 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) From the harbour edge, you walk the back streets past Admiralty House, the official residence of the Governor-General. It has a pretty little pocket park adjacent to it with harbour views. Edited February 18, 2022 by aussielozzie18 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 18, 2022 #48898 Share Posted February 18, 2022 From there it’s a nice stroll through the quiet residental streets to Milsons Park, on the way passing the Royal Sydney Yacht Club which had this lovely little pocket park on the water’s edge adjacent to it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 18, 2022 #48900 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Adjacent to Milson’s Park is the Ensemble Theatre which DH & I frequent regularly to see plays including those by Australia’s most prolific playwright David Williamson. The street leading up to the theatre is one of the most instagrammable ones in Sydney in due to its avenue of Jacaranda trees with their purple flowers that bloom in November. The park is on the waterfront and quite pretty. Edited February 18, 2022 by aussielozzie18 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
