I converted it to £1.25 litre which is probably a bit more than we pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone watch that “Project Runway” with the Below Deck cast from all the franchises? The designers had to make new uniforms for them. A couple of them looked pretty good the others were stupid including Mzi’s, Captain Sandy, and Captain Jason. Also I was watching Below Deck Down Under and find that deck hand Harry makes some of the weirdest faces. Several times I thought he reminds me of someone. Then it hit me he looks like the Muppet character “Beaker.” Started to watch Project Runway but it was moving way too slowly and was far to boring for me so I went to bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's pretty boring. The crew isn't in it a whole lot. Funny to watch Gary hitting on his designer. Weird that they had Captain Lee in the beginning introduce the crew to the designers but he did not take part. I wonder what he got paid for just one scene and a couple of lines.

I got gas yesterday afternoon from Costco that is cheaper than the $6 I saw while on the road. $4.579 at Costco gas 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a Harry Potter nut There were plenty of them there.

harryfat1 Posted August 7, 2023 #100058 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Few hotel pics before heading out to the port 30 minutes away and stand in line with hundreds of BFFs. We have 11 AM check in. Royal App already sent reminders this morning. San Pedro has the setup outside of the cruise terminal different than Florida's. Time to hit the tent city... Complimentary hotel breakfast to tie me over until Windjammer in 3 hours. Not sure I can handle the hardship of not constantly stuffing my face... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted August 7, 2023 #100061 Share Posted August 7, 2023 This slice of Pizza has decided to go in and enjoy the Solarium. Prime choice of seats, loungers, beds to pick. I think I will do what Goldilocks did! Hubby is enjoying boiling in the hot tub. Perhaps he thinks he is a lobster! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted August 7, 2023 #100062 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Dentist is due to return from vacation tomorrow. First available appointment is a week from today, Monday. I can live with this for the time being but will call my regular out of network dentist if it flairs up. I know he'll see me immediately. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably would have time to run up to the Windjammer for additional food. 😉 Every time we have eaten there we didn’t have to wait long at all for the food. It is made to order but it always comes out hot. Key is to get there early enough before everyone else decides to have breakfast there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ollienbertsmum Posted August 7, 2023 #100064 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Just Googled prices of fuel around the world. I was supposed to be switching off my computer and doing a cardio workout, really needed something to procrastinate with. Apparently Venezuela is the cheapest place to buy petrol. You could fill up a car in Venezuela for under $1 ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were Elite of Celebrity before I got on a Royal cruise, so I was a Diamond on my first cruise. DW had been doing girls winter cruises, so she already had a bunch of points, just not enough for diamond. It was her additional points that got us to Pinnacle. I still have a few more to get to 700, but not many. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second baby squirrel season is in full force. The baby board is full with most of them needing feeding every 2 hours. Our interns leave a lot to be desired and most of the long term volunteers who have a good work ethic are not in town for various reasons. Sigh. Wish I could pop over and help you out. It sounds fascinating 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
