I guess we missed a lot of the bad weather while we were gone last week. It was pouring rain when we landed Saturday night and then it rained all day and night Sunday with wild gusty winds The Atmospheric River has moved on now to Southern California where it is expected to be flooding, mudslides, power outages and record-setting rainfall totals. You know the song that goes… Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours Remind me what ship are you sailing on? Looks like you are having fun! Helen, Thank you for thinking of me. I’ve been at sea since 12/1. I am hoping my house is still intact when I get home on 2/11. 🙀 Happy all is well for you guys. Maybe I’ll see you and Marty in the terminal on Sunday.

I’m so glad to hear from you that you didn’t sustain any damage. Thank goodness, just a big mess all around. Yup, when it rains, it pours. I wonder about our friend, @Tree_skier and @taznremmy who are down in So. Cal. I hope Dave, Sharron and Pat are okay. We are Ok. I'm feeling a little waterlogged though. Being from Vancouver you would think I should used to it but I think I'm getting soft. A little minor flooding through some intersection but otherwise all is well. We lost power for 3 hours on Sunday. I heard there were some landslides in the hills to the north of us. I think it was worse closer to the coast. I friend in Camarillo said he got hammered pretty good. It just boggles my mind though how poorly everyone drives when it rains. Folks in SoCal are the worst drivers, in the rain they get even worse. 7 days until we leave for Florida. 11 days until we get on Adventure of the Seas. 🙂 Edited February 6 by Tree_skier 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted February 6 #114304 Share Posted February 6 Good morning from Odyssey. This is our second sea day on our way to Aruba. We did a time change at 2AM to Atlantic time in order to be on local time tomorrow. Hopefully the time change will keep people in bed longer this morning. It didn't stop me though.😇 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted February 6 #114306 Share Posted February 6 When I first met my cabin steward he asked if I wanted morning or evening service. This is my first sailing since the change to once a day. I told him morning and if he needs a place to start he can start with mine as he won't won't have to worry about bothering anyone as I'm out of the cabin by 5AM. He gave me an odd look and asked... Why? 3 1 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? I totally get that. My home time zone is Atlantic time, so most of the time, ship time for us is an hour earlier and sometimes 2 hours earlier. I come into work at 7am, and when on vacation, I don't change my sleep schedule very much, so it makes for some very early rising on ship. I usually have 2 breakfasts when cruising 😉. dp 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard Toby Keith just past away from cancer at 62, I am not a huge country fan but loved his music , he has a bar inside a casino a hour away in Oklahoma where he was born. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted February 6 #114312 Share Posted February 6 Good morning from Labadee. Woke up late. Had breakfast at Johnny Rockets. Sitting on deck enjoying the cool breezes and contemplating peace. Do I want to get off the ship? Maybe later maybe not. 🤔 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they don't mention that most of those grandmothers live in China. My tolerance for the activity is inversely proportional to the temperature of the day. Sometimes the Haitian heat makes this Northern Boy a bit cranky. 5 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news about Toby Keith had not made it to me yet. Sorry to hear that. I liked some of his songs. I don't like country music that has a lot of "twange" to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted February 6 #114318 Share Posted February 6 14 hours ago, George C said: I thought last night’s Grammys was entertaining, really enjoyed new Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell singing “both sides now” , Tracy Chapman and Stevie Wonder singing tribute to one of my favorites Tony Bennett who we saw many times. Tony Bennett was one of our favorites also, he sang or wedding song. We saw him so many times from when he was young until he was older. Always a great show. After a Vegas show I ran through the casino to catch up to him for an autograph. He was so gracious and obliging. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted February 6 #114319 Share Posted February 6 The CD just made some worthless announcement. I realized that one of the things about him that irritates me is he misuses the words "I" and "me". Ken, they each have their place and they are not interchangeable. 3 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
