If you think a lot of people are there Wait until you go to the new section (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge) at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Lots of people in the Countries at Epcot too.

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted February 11, 2023 #85602 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Speaking of eating healthy, we were just texted a pic of Lottie screaming. They stopped to eat and Buckee showed up. Zander loved it but Buckee was scaring Lottie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted February 11, 2023 Author #85605 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) @aussielozzie18, aussie, I took your rec. about Richard Osman's "The Thursday Murder Club" and enjoyed it very much, so much so that I'm in the process of reading the 2nd sequel, "The man who died twice". And what a huge difference it makes between reading the first [translated] in Hebrew (DH's book, I really struggled with it, it just didn't "flow"... besides "Ve" in Hebrew means "and" - there was this character Ian Ventham, and for some pages I thought there were 2 of them -- Ian and Ntham ☹️ - which didn't make sense..., that's what happens when you want to save buying the same book in English....) and now the 2nd one in English - such a joy. Humor and dry wit. To sum it up -- highly recommended 😎 Edited February 11, 2023 by dani negreanu typos 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed it, are you staying on property and using the bus system or off property and paying the $25.00 parking fee per day. If so what Disney Resort?

MJSailors Posted February 11, 2023 #85607 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Dani- Both my hubby and I are reading The Thursday Murder Club and enjoying it. I also took the recommendation of@aussielozzie18. We are at the beginning chapters so, please don’t tell us the ending!😉 I am hoping that you and your hubby and family are having peaceful days after the trying days of the past week. Take care- MJ🙋🏻 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what Disney Resort? A digression addressed to Jim : I just think your response to MM about what she paid for her cabin compared to what you paid for yours was brilliant. On our last cruise , I sat next to a couple who cruised to Greenland ( only one port ) and loved it . She was very excited that we were going too however we have canceled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original plan was 3 days, but we couldn't find another direct flight instead of the one which was delayed... and the apt we rented wasn't available for the additional night, so we booked a night in a hotel, planning to move the next day. But we need some luck with all that goes around here, and yesterday afternoon the proprietor sent us a text, saying that he had a cancellation and we can get the additional night 😁 Since we always book with free cancellation, I immediately cancelled the one night hotel. No more moving with our carry ons from one place to another 😎 I couldn't be happier. 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted February 12, 2023 #85612 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Dani- Those city breaks seem lovely and interesting. I can understand how your hubby will enjoy Venice,but could you tell us your plans for Marrakech? I applaud your thought of no cooking for that adventure ! I couldn’ read any book in another language other than English. Perhaps a children’s book written in French, but that would be the limit. I find that though in the Thursday Murder Club there. are many references to British English - a walking frame- in American English is a walker- for example. But, we get by as we watch many British programs on TV or Prime. Tonight,we will be watching Midsommer Murders on our Public Broadcasting Station,followed by Broadchurch. We are also watching Creatures Great and Small on Sunday nights n PBS. Take care- MJ🙋🏻 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been sick enough on cruise ship to seek medical attention... This treatment regimen came to me from my cousin who is a physician. He is a strong believer that the best defense is a strong immune system. He rattled on about T-cells and some other thing too but that all went over my head. He works primarily with geriatric patients. The second time I got covid I called him and this was his recommendation. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
