Which is awesome, until your parents get older. I'm sure you are very proud of your son. I know my mom was really proud of my biology degree and a career as a well paid biologist. And what great gifts! Sometimes I felt guilty that we could only have one child as Linda almost died after giving birth and the doctor said we shouldn’t risk another pregnancy but Jonathan seems fine with being an only child. He does get spoiled but he tends to spoil us too. He is a very loving kid. Thanks for your comments. My mom was an only child too. 5 hours ago, sgmn said: Yes Greg, RCs Diamond = Elite on Celebrity. This is the highest you can transfer too, your points start at zero though. You get happy hour drinks menu unlimited between 5 and 7 (not first night), but if you've got always included drinks package it doesn't really make any difference Other perks are one bag each wash and fold laundry, Elite breakfast with speciality coffee and mimosas. Plus meet the officers evenings, 90 min each wifi and a few other things Thank you for this info. Looking forward to becoming a Diamond after our next two cruises. Thanks to Royal’s double points promotion we will have achieved Diamond after only 5 cruises. 5 hours ago, sgmn said: Your son sounds wonderful Greg and what great presents, may have to pinch the whisky kit idea Thank you. We are proud of him. He’s a good kid. 4 hours ago, sgmn said: Here are a few pics of the ports of our Greek and Malta cruise. The port for Olympia. We've been here before so just stayed in port and wandered through the lovely little port area RHODES we spend the day exploring the city but didn't have enough time to do it justice Santorini, beautiful day, took the ferry to Oia Mykonos, took the ferry to Delos and then spent time in Mykonos Athens, took the bus into the center, saw the changing of the guards and as very hot and we've been to Athens before we went to the cool acropolis museum Malta- did a wonderful cruise excursion, called three cities and harbour cruise, wonderful day, our best port Lived seeing your pics. Reminded me of our wonderful cruise to the Greek Isle’s for our honeymoon. Santorini was my favorite followed by Mykonos and Rhodes. So glad you had a great trip. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you had a good cruise, we missed you and Dani. I would definitely recommend all the ports Sue and Dani went to. Best times to go are May early June, September and October. You miss the school holidays plus the heat and humidity is overpowering in July and August unless you just want to sunbathe. Mediterranean cruising is all about visiting famous sites with long days ships tours. Graham. Edited June 25, 2022 by grapau27 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they removed the temporary cast, his wrist is still quite swollen. But, he is now sporting a dark blue for the Athletic’s (his team colour) fibreglass cast. Much lighter and easier for him to manage. We will be back to the fracture clinic on July 4th for a new cast once the remaining swelling is gone. We will find out more about healing time at our next appt. That news had to be a huge relief for all of you! I hope he heals fast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only 1 sea day with long port days. Kids stayed onboard in Crete saying they had enough. Best, if you can call it that, comment from my then 16 year old son was at Epeshus as we got out of the van "More rubble?". He now asks if we can take him back as he didn't appreciate it, sorry you are you're own now. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father was an only child (his father had mumps after he was born), I am an only child, my son is an only child (his father is an only child too). My grandmother once asked me in front of my mother if I wanted a little brother or sister - I emphatically said NO. It does make for small family gatherings. Talking with my friends who have brothers and sisters (all of whom have some type of drama with them) I am still ok being an only child! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
