Will you be there for Carnival or Valentines Day ? You "got" me, Judy. As a matter of fact, we're flying out on Valentine's Day, but it was not planed as such. It is very difficult to find direct flights to Venice, and also at reasonable times. No way I'll fly out late evening or very early in the morning -- it's a deal breaker for us. So we had to adjust our stay there according to the flights we found.... Another "requirement" was to find a flat with a fully equipped kitchen (not just microwave and refrigerator), so that DH can "exercise" his talents... Last time we were in Venice it was actually the first time we stayed there and not in Mestre. It was so much better. Early in the morning we went to Rialto market, and, in seeing all this market had to offer, DH declared that his dream is to come back one day, rent an apt and cook from the amazing products on display. Being also his birthday, hopefully he'll get his wish, and me -- some excellent meals... I've found an amazing apt, with a fully equipped modern kitchen - gas stove [a must] + oven. I'm wary about the weather in February, but after Covid hiatus, I'm willing to take my chances. Que sera, sera... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew it was only a matter of time before Lucy would pass on. So sorry, Mark, that your daughter has to go through Lucy's passing (may she RIP) on top of everything she's going through. Wishing her strength and hopes that this ordeal will soon be behind her. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew it was only a matter of time before Lucy would pass on. She was so tiny when our daughter got her. And, of course, she had grown by the time our grandkids came along, and she loved those Christmas presents. Always tolerant of getting decorated. Many tears were shed. RIP Lucy. When our Gracie passed a couple of month ago, the vet who put her to sleep gave us her paw print. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise friends sold there large van. While checking we found the clothes I have been missing for the last few weeks. 😆 I didn't fully unpack from the Hilton Head trip. 🙄 Eric is famous for doing that. The first cruise we went on after restart I discovered a laundry bag full of underwear still in his case (was there for over 1.5 yrs). That large suitcase is only used for cruises. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide to do it for a lunch or supper. I think we will stick with supper. I just wish I knew if it was better than the average Mexican restaurant. Is Sabor available for lunch? I think our sailing on Allure (in 2020) only had it open for dinner. We really enjoyed it, I hope you and Sharon do too! We had a meat hangover when were done eating so I highly recommend you have a light lunch with no meat if you go to Sabor's for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rented a car & drove 10 minutes to the next hotel. 😊 You sure did pack in a lot. But it makes sense, as long as you are on that side of the pond, try to get as much in as possible. I'd actually like to do everything you did but maybe over 4-5 weeks. My life goal is to find a Sugar Daddy and take a TA from the USA to Europe in the spring, spend the summer doing Europe, and then take a TA back to the USA in the fall, and then spend the winter doing the Caribbean via cruise ship! Just need to lose weight, get a face lift, get a tummy tuck, get a boob lift, and find a Sugar Daddy! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW simply won't fly that long any more. I can't even convince my wife to do a transatlantic or a Norwegian fjords cruise now. I'm hoping for 2026 for my 60th birthday she'll relent and do one of those but I suspecting I'll still be getting resistance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
