What’s wrong with March?
 

I mean. 
- Tons of kids 

-Higher cabin rates. 
- Higher airline fees

-Possible snow storms messing up plans

-Tons of Kids

(yup kids)

 

But. 
Gotta travel when vacation weeks picked. 
 

or

 

Going On a casino comped cruise and upgrading from GS to CLS on a ship on the list that you never sailed, when the price was right. Before increases. (PHEW). 
 

Kids don't bother me and I'm happy with the price I'm paying. I might have to add something in January if I can work it out.

[Lionesss]

To all those North of the border. 
 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING. 

 

To all those affected by hurricanes I hope for safety and resolution of all damages. 
 

Greg.  Safe travels. 
 

Furnace not needed yet with clingy cat.

I’m still in bare feet, I have had the furnace running but can’t seem to put socks and shoes on until Nov.

If it wasn't for Merlin needing to go for a walk at 6am I could hold out until the first snowfall.

Enchantment's boarding time has been pushed from Saturday morning to today at 3pm (departure pushed from 4pm to 6pm). 

I've never gotten to a port so late in the afternoon.... it feels so weird to still be sitting here at almost 11am and not at least en route to the port!

 

Bon Voyage, Debbie!🛳️

I understand.  Seems every year I dislike cold weather more than previous years.    Get away from cold and relax and unwind after the holidays.

 

That's why Jim and I became Snow Birds!😎

And, yes, our heat has been on and off since the cold mornings have begun visiting our home!😉

True. 
 

I actually like cruising in March after doing the BELLA I cruise. 
 

Kids are kids. Sometimes better behaved than some adults. 
 

Airlines. Well gotta fly. 
 

That’s how I rationalize my getaway when I get those comments from those that do not want to go then. ( aka my family).

Yes I experienced that “Bad Gateway” message several times today. I will be very frustrated if I have trouble posting.

Hopefully CC will behave, so that we can all enjoy and follow the Adventures of Sea Dog and his first Mate Linda as you cruise and explore!!

How about testing your Celebrity waters? Jan 4, ABC, 8 nights, Celebrity Reflection from FLL.
You are D+ so you will be E+ on Celebrity.

We can even compare toes.😁

You’re tougher than me. I caved at 68!

My girlfriend and I have a running joke about socks.  She knows it's gotten cold here when I text that I have socks on.  She won't put socks on until she visits her daughter's home in Kansas for Christmas each year.

Same with my grandson. 

Lots of Jersey guys live in shorts even in Winter.  They're crazy!  lol!

That sounds like a nice cruise. It is a tough time for me after already being out of the office for the holidays. Late Jan or early Feb works better.

No way am I going to hear the furnace running in October. No, it is not going to happen.

I hear ya.  No need for furnace yet.  Even though temps dropping into into 50s now the Inside temp is 70f which is actually warmer than I like, especially at bedtime. 

Eric will be home alone tomorrow but I always have the app for our thermostat 😁😇

[HBE4]

I used to be one of those guys that would never in consider turning the heat on before Nov 1st. Then it became no way before Oct 15th.

Now it's okay to turn the heat on any time after Oct 1st to just take the chill out of the house, then turn it off again.

 

Wore long pants & a jacket for the first time yesterday. They feel so hheeaaavvvvyyyy. 🙃

So am I.  My tolerance gets less the older I get.

 

My January plans, all paid off now.  I am sure one of those 8 night cruises would interest you.

 

Great itineraries!   You are going to love being away for almost a month.  I miss the days when I could work remotely and do b2b2bs. 

 

How did you do your map?

Please let us know when it’s time to record the Hallmark Sea Dog Christmas show.  

Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story  will air Saturday November 30th. Hopefully I will make the cut.

I am sure they will. I will be really interested if the Bamboo Room on Navigator can do a lot of the Tiki classics justice. It will be hard for them to have some of the exact ingredients so it will be interesting.

We have our first cruise out of San Juan booked in January.
