You had me really confused for a minute. I am thinking there no big fiddle in Sydney and I don’t recognise that building…🇦🇺

 

Had to Google it & also remembered DS said there is a Sydney, Nova Scotia.  Hope you have a nice day there today 🇨🇦

There are a lot of streets in my part of NY named Sydney.I have no idea why.There is also a Sidney,NY

Just back from our 16 night Radiance Panama Canal cruise.  Despite missing Cabo and spending 6 days at sea from San Diego to Costa Rica and getting some nasty upper respiratory bug we had a great time. The weather was great, food much improved over July and the entertainment was very good. DH has always hesitated when we talked about booking a cruise with more than 3 sea days in a row.  This won him over so I’ll be watching for some transatlantic/transpacific now.

I hope you're feeling better!  I love sea days.  We were at sea 5 days from Hawaii to Ensenada.  So relaxing!

Currently following a couple who are on the Quantum transpacific from Hawaii to Brisbane.  It’s one that has always appealed but 10 sea days is too much & I always seem to develop a cold/cough on day 8 of a cruise.

We had a great day!  We rented a car and drove part of the Cabot Trail. Cool weather but perfect for us. Will have to come back again when we can go all the way around.

And a Sidney, OH.  It's not far from Lima, OH, which is pronounced like the bean, not the capital city of Peru.  Credit goes to me if you happen to successfully use this info in a trivia contest.

This post made me smile. My grandmother who passed away 27 years ago was born in Lima, OH. Hadn’t heard that in years.

Relaxing pictures of a place that brings back sweet memories of many walks around that lake.

 

Same here. And I was there about a week ago.

You should . We rented a car in Halifax and drove around Cape Breton and then hired a driver for the Cabot Trail . We ended up in Sydney , returned the car at the airport , and flew home from there. It is a beautiful drive.

@aussielozzie18 I had a curious question the other evening. I know you are a bird lover. You have posted photos of the Cockatoos and the Lorikeets, which we saw while we there. 

 

I know cockatiels are originally from Australia. Are they in the wild there? They are in the pet trade here. Polly came to us as a young bird when he climbed into the tackle box, while we were fishing at a local lake. No one claimed him, and we had him for 19 years. 

 

I just wondered if there are flocks of cockatiels?

That's a shame they lost their overnight because of the storm but sounds like they had a great cruise with some nice weather despite the storm.

I was bummed we did not go to Cabo as it was the second time I missed this port.  First time was during the Swine Flu.   The Panama Canal cruise was all I envisioned it would be.  Enjoyed myself to the fullest.  We booked a Royal Excursion in Costa Rica, but was back to the port by 2:30 and felt really bad for the buses that had great difficulty getting back to the ship.

Same here. And I was there about a week ago.

I know it's a special place for you and your family.  Funny, I've been in TX for 20 years but all it takes is a picture or some words about a place I know so well to bring me back home again.

 

Something happened to me that I must share.  Today was my weekly card game and a Southern lady who sat next to me asked where I was from.  A new player and I thought how nice to get to know one another. I proudly said "NY" and she said "Oh, I'm sorry".  No smile, no smirk. No kidding.  I saw red and I quickly responded "well bless your little heart" which down here can be seen as a compliment dipped in venom.  The nerve AND she's a lousy card player!

Maybe she meant she’s sorry about 9/11 .  There’s someone on here that has belittled, criticized and insulted my ethnic background twice . I’ve not said anything because I think it comes from ignorance.
