Same here.    All I have done today is walk from my office to the kitchen to the curb for the mail.    Lazy rainy day here.

You might have another lazy day coming your way tomorrow.  I planned to get out into the garden today but it was windy and cold.  Don’t feel to guilty though.  Kenzie, Caden and Aubrey came over with their mom so I had to stay in and visit.

@Ocean Boythis one is for you as a plane buff. I spotted this from the parking lot.

How about a closer view.  
 

What is this?  It’s the Antonov A124 and is registered in Russian Federation with tail number RA-82078. It is operated by Volga-Dnepr Airlines and its age is 12 years (built in 2010). The aircraft weight is 175000 kg and it has 4 engines Jetwith power of 230,0 kN kN each. The length of the plane is 69.1 m. The height of the plane is 20.78 m. The wing span is 73.3 m.  It’s been parked in Toronto since the being of Russian sanctions. 
 

That’s a “normal” sized plane to the right.

Have a wonderful time, A&L. Where are you heading?


Thanks Dani.  This should answer all. We are headed back to where our last vacation was, in January of 2020. It’s been 27 months since Lisa and I have been this far from home, and we haven’t even boarded the plane. 😂

We just booked Oasis for 8.28.   This will be our first time on Oasis, we have been on Allure.

Guess when we are booked!!!

Oasis is my favorite.  We have been on Allure and Harmony but for some reason Oasis is the best to me.

Thanks all for the well wishes.  
 

I will post a few photos every day of food, scenery, etc… Maybe morning, noon and bedtime. Don’t want to spam you all but I miss doing reviews. Looking forward to getting away and trying to leave emails behind if at all possible.

@Sunshine3601

 

Not sure if anyone asked if it is the size of the files you are trying to post?  When I first got my Samsung S21, I could not load photos to CC, however I got some generic error message (unrelated to size of file). Eventually it was determined it was due to the size of the files as I was taking advantage of one of the higher resolution options on my new phone.

 

When I used a lower resolution, photos uploaded to CC without issue. 

 

You are getting no message, so unsure if same.

I don't think it is a size issue.   When I click on add file or the paperclip it simply blinks then does nothing.

 

Sorry we get to meet on Anthem.   I kept looking for a blonde with freckles.   Hope you enjoyed your cruise🤩

Sunday I do my prep for my colonoscopy Monday morning.     I spoke with them this morning and they said as long as we have been testing negative and are fully vaccinated no need to reschedule.    Darn it!😁


Good luck. The prep is the worst part. I hate drinking all that stuff. I’m sure everything will go greAt for you.

After reading this I almost felt like I should get up off the couch!  Thankful things are getting better for you.

 

With 3 cruises coming up in the next year I’m at least trying to get down to weight that I won’t gain it all back. Being retired sure makes it easier to exercise.

You’re doing better than me and I’ve not had knee surgery .  After many phone calls by my husband they’ve finally scheduled him for the first of two knee replacements in early May .  Tomorrow , he goes in for EKG and lab work.   Followed by 4th Covid injection on Monday.  I’ve  had hives after the last two so expecting more of the same.   He was able to get the cold therapy machine and walker free of charge so good deal on that.  Hopefully this will all be over by the time our January cruise sets sail.  

 

Congratulations on your progress .   What about your other knee ? 

 

Thinking about the other knee after the Bella cruise in March of 2023. The cold therapy machine will make all the difference in the world. Tip get some 4oz water bottles and freeze them in the freezer and switch them out in the cold water instead of using ice. Also make sure he takes pain pills before therapy. And the main thing as hard as it is, stay positive. It’s hard to be hurting for everyday weeks on end. But it does get better. If you or he has any questions please reach out to me. I’m here for you!!

So happy you are getting away. You deserve it. I hope you have a blast and please post. I’d love to know how it is.

And I kept looking for a blonde about 3 inches shorter than me!  Too funny. 

 

We had a great time.  

 

Every time we get off a cruise....  we are ok, when is the next? We plan to take a couple from Florida over the summer as we are heading to the Outer Banks for a few days and figured we will just keep heading south.....
