When its cold I want to a warm car. When it's hot I want a cool car. I've got an app that'll start my car or truck from anywhere. I can start my truck while I'm in line at Costco and everything is comfortable by the time I get there. 🙂 When I bought my current car in the summer of 2020, I was originally going for a bare-bones model, because for me, a car is just transportation. (I prefer to spend my money on cruises!) But when I found out that installing a remote start on it, even if installed by the dealership, would void the warranty, I went up a couple of models. It's still a cheap / not fancy vehicle (Kia Optima), but it has a remote start! Like you, the presence of (or ability to add) a remote start was a deal-breaker for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if it happens, and how it goes. I think you should get the grandkids one of these: https://www.samsclub.com/p/airblown-harry-potter-castle/P03016409?xid=plp_product_1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted October 17, 2023 #105835 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Attended the NY Rangers home opener last night with my nephew. Rangers won 2-1. Despite the low score, it was a pretty exciting & well played game. That is until a "slight" pushing match at the end of the game. Every home opener, every fan gets a free T-Shirt. I think I have 6 or 7 now. Edit to add: Not really following baseball playoff since the Yankees are not playing but also saw the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros. Always nice to see the Yankees nemesis lose. Good night all around for teams named Rangers. 🙂 Edited October 17, 2023 by HBE4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win or lose, I am, after all, a NY gal at heart. ❤️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Judy ! Just got through checking some pre cruise videos. 99% packed just got to put in the hanging clothes in the suitcase. Linda is ironing her stuff. We don’t leave till Thursday but tomorrow will be errand day. It also gives us time to remember if we’ve packed everything. I’ve gotten burned before packing last minute. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iPhone is very small. Have a great cruise and relax . Don’t try to do too much . It’s supposed to be a vacation. I dislike packing and unpacking.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 17, 2023 #105848 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) DH has re-discovered his holiday mojo. After years of only holidaying in the exact same location, he is now keen for variety. First it was beautiful Noosa. Yesterday, he sent me a link to some lovely cottages at the base of a lighthouse on the NSW coast. We are booking one of the cottages today. Looks like my days of cruising are coming to an end. I started cruising in 2013 because I was bored of holidaying in the same spot every year. With DH being keen to explore more, both my “kids” soon to be living overseas and limited leave as I work full-time, land trips are going to be my focus from now on until we retire.

It's great that your DH has his holiday mojo back. Hopefully you'll find some great new spots to visit. We've found that our interest in cruising has actually gone down in retirement. It's much easier to take short trips somewhere and for longer land trips, having a couple of weeks to really experience a place is nicer than an 8 hour port day. We will still cruise when we have a specific itinerary in mind, or if it's a larger family thing (like we're doing next year). But with the recent increase in prices and a reduction in quality, there likely won't be a lot of cruising for just the two of us. It's sad that this is what cruising has become for us as we really have loved it, and we recently became D+. Spending 2 weeks in Italy, or Scotland, or Japan for example, just seems more appealing. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
