Rare aussielozzie18 Posted September 17, 2023 #103376 Share Posted September 17, 2023 @Coralc My sincere condolences on the passing of your much loved, handsome Bobby. Being your fur-child and the last of your Mom’s cats will be especially devastating for you. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted September 17, 2023 #103377 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) DD and all her friends have an online group where they post daily photos of their pets. Yesterday one of her friends posted a video of his new “pet” wandering his backyard. As you would have seen from my aerial photos, we have Backburning going on in Sydney. As a result, a very healthy young koala sought safety in her friend’s backyard. Of course, her friend called WIRES (our wildlife rescue organisation) they removed the koala and confirmed he will not need care but will be released in a safe healthy bush habitat ❤️ Edited September 17, 2023 by aussielozzie18 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said it was swaying in the wind and was more than a little scary. Nope nope and nope. Just happy to see the views courtesy of your daughter/yourself sharing the photos with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked great, and the vet tech even admired it and how easy it was to get her in and out. Hope it helps with Jade. Lucy has gained a pound in the last month, so it appears that her thyroid med is working. They did blood work today that will show the actual results in a couple of days. I came upstairs to go to bed and look who was sleeping in her carrier... 30 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still on the Ovation but plans are to catch up with the Radiance on the 22nd in YVR and resume my original itinerary. I wouldn’t have minded though. I have been thinking of spending a few nights up there next year before a cruise. Love their aquarium. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My spirit is still fine. Prayers from around the world surely makes a difference. My insurance is covering a really nice customized motorized wheelchair for me that is supposed to be delivered in a couple of weeks. They fitted me for it before we went to Lakeside several weeks ago. The plus side of me losing so much weight is that I am getting a narrow one that will easily move around the house. I am looking forward to cruising in a few weeks. It will be a 5 day cruise and will let us have a better idea if we can handle future ones. Thanks for the update, John. It’s good to know that your spirit is still fine and that you’re looking forward to cruising soon. 🤗 Please remember, that in addition to all of the love and support that you already receive from your close-by family, you can also seek some comfort from your worldwide “Dani family” too. I’m sure that members of both “families” will continue to keep you in their prayers. 🙏🏼 Take care. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted September 17, 2023 #103388 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) DH had another day in Port Macquarie (4 and a bit hours north of Sydney on the coast).

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted September 17, 2023 #103389 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) He also completed the Coast walk that he started yesterday. I told him he needed to make sure to take photos of the Lighthouse (which I am sure he thought was a weird request from me….).For @Ocean Boy Tacking Point Lighthouse. Built in 1879, it’s Australia’s 13th oldest lighthouse and the finish point of the coastal walk and a great spot to see whales which DH did.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted September 17, 2023 #103391 Share Posted September 17, 2023 @Ozark_Kid thanks for the update. I just love your positive attitude. By the way, that cake looks amazing! Come back and tell us how it was please. @aussielozzie18 it’s unlikely I’ll ever see your country in person. Thank you for sharing all these beautiful pictures. @Coralc I’m so sorry about Bobby. You made the right decision, but that doesn’t make it any easier. @bobmacliberty just gorgeous pictures from your daughters honeymoon. Are they going anywhere else in Europe or just Switzerland? It’s a gorgeous late summer day here in RI after our near miss of Hurricane Lee. We leave next Sunday for Venice, so pre-packing has started. My original goal was two carry ons and two backpacks, mostly because I don’t want to deal with possible luggage delays. But we have a nonstop flight going over so that should be okay. We connect in Chicago coming home, but it’s not such an issue if bags are delayed on the return. We also get two free checked bags each so kind of a waste not to take advantage of that. But…we do have to handle our luggage a bit, through Venice, water buses, trains, etc. so that’s something to consider too. We shall see! 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted September 17, 2023 #103393 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Good afternoon. It is cloudy and 59°F here. We had a lovely church service this morning on the 15th Sunday after Trinity. Afterwards we took snacks and hot drinks to the beach. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do a carry on for general travel where you aren’t with a group and don’t see the same people everyday. I just can’t pack like that for a cruise or river cruise. I need my “stuff” to nest. We like to unpack and have options to change clothes for the evening. The hardest part of a recent cruise tour was packing up every morning and feeling disorganized getting ready, digging through the suitcase. I even use packing cubes and a toiletries organizer and it’s still a hassle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest part of a recent cruise tour was packing up every morning and feeling disorganized getting ready, digging through the suitcase. I even use packing cubes and a toiletries organizer and it’s still a hassle. Best thing we did when we did our cruisetour was to pack a separate suitcase for the land portion and one for the cruise portion. We had the land portion first and the cruise suitcase was tagged to stay on the bus the whole time. We packed rollaboards with the things we needed everyday and had daypacks to have on the bus. It helped that we flew first class both ways, so had no baggage fees. Packing cubes helped a lot and we had extra compression cubes that we made our dirty laundry cubes. I need my "stuff" too and was pretty happy with what we brought. We needed almost all of what we brought for the land portion as we road ATVs and did some muddy hiking that made some clothes one and done. We overpacked for the cruise portion, but what else is new. 😄 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
