Just rolled back on the ship after visiting 3 wineries including one with a lovely long lunch, a very scenic distillery, a few scenic lookouts, a waterfront place called Penguin (where the fairy penguins come ashore), looking for platypus in their natural environment and having the best strawberry ice-cream I’ve ever eaten / courtesy of The Berry Place just out of Devonport. Phone battery died mid-afternoon but here are some photos… I always enjoy your photos! I think they are excellent! Hope your DD is doing OK. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got the feeling that some people were getting too full of themselves. So I had a choice to fast forward most posts. This is where John's ability to hold a captive audience in his excellent reviews is most missed. I think @island ladybeing off of the ship now is not helping to keep the thread focused. It is also very hard to follow where the ship was going, is going, and may go. I just don't find it quite as interesting now. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dillard’s there is better than the Lenox/Phipps Rich’s and Neiman Marcus in Atlanta in their heyday!!! I LOVE that store!! I bought a $300 dress I have absolutely nowhere to wear…except on cruises…😆 I absolutely love Dillard’s! We don’t have them here in the Northeast, which is probably a good thing lol, but I always hit at least one when we’re in FL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two of you sure pack a lot of visits on your journeys to your cruises. Our friends Carol and Andy went with two other couples to Margaritaville just two days ago to check the place out. They said it is beautiful! Their Margarita's were pretty good too, as well as their lunches while there. Have a great time in the next couple of weeks!🥰 Thanks Maryann. We’ve been to the M’ville in Hollywood Beach a few times and the one in Orlando twice. Great stays every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted February 17 #115457 Share Posted February 17 There was a Dillard’s in Augusta, GA…totally different merchandise. Cheaply made schlock from “designers” I’d never heard of. So I thought I was just killing time when I went with my friend…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves Macy’s and Nordstrom around here anyway. I find Macy’s to be hit or miss and Nordstrom just confuses me with how their stores are laid out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it difficult. It is fine if you find it easy. Perhaps I don't really have all that much interest now that folks aren't showing pictures of where they are and what they are doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been at any ports since Island Lady got off the ship in LA last week.....that is why you haven't seen any pictures........Pictures should show up late tonight or tomorrow again...........Hawaii is 5 hours behind us..... They only have 5 ports the rest of this month(February), and 8 more sea days to go this month. I'm like you I want to see pictures from the ports, I don't care what they are eating on the ship or what drinks they are drinking on the ship, so many of those pictures like that get boring. March is 15 port days and 16 more sea days Edited February 17 by Jimbo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted February 17 #115469 Share Posted February 17 Just when I thought I was recovering good with the hernia. My prostrate decided to be stubborn again. I was in pain all day as I couldn’t urinate. Ended up having to go to the ER late last night and had a catheter put in (that was not fun at all) and they drained 1200ml off of me. Now I’m back home catheter and all. I’m very uncomfortable but at least not in the pain as I was in. Now I have to get back to urologist and see how long this thing will have to stay in. Life is not fun right now. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we only had about 4 inches today but tired of shoveling. All mailboxes will be safe today! I'm staying home today and doing some cleaning and going to make a pot of meatballs and sausage with the last of my sauce from last summer's tomatoes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
