Are you flying or driving?  We drive and I like the Sheraton Suites in Plantation.  I like the two room setup…I like that the bathroom area has a door one can close…I like that you can watch your Amazon Prime on their TVs.  There are several restaurants a minute or two’s walk away in the sort of subdivision the hotel is in.  It’s an easy straight shot to 595 and the port…less than 15 minutes.  But if you want the beach or don’t have a car it wouldn’t be for you.

 

 

Driving from Orlando area.

Alberta, either Banff or Canmore but my guess is Main Street Banff. 

 

Had the best bagels ever in Canmore, love it there.

Sounds great for the day 1 meet up -- from boarding until 1:30.

 

We'll need a place for sail away if someone wants to suggest ideas.  

 

Ken suggests the aft by the flow rider.  Easy to get to either side, not as crowded and there is a bar back there.

I’m game if you guys are.  We would host everyone in our GS, but those are small on Wonder, so the balcony is smaller than usual.  I don’t think we would all fit. 🤣 AND we don’t have a bar in there.  🍹

I was so happy to see this person get voted off.  I was surprised that he was gracious in his parting remarks.  I didn't expect that from him.  Good on him!

This person took being voted off a lot better than the last person voted off.

Absolutely, John!

I can't stand cold so I am thankful for our back porch heater the kids got us awhile back. 

[Ozark_Kid]

The heater helped me to stay on the deck to catch this....

 

Last week our LR family spent Thursday and Friday night here. Before they went home the GKs went to the annual Scottish festival.

A much better departure than last week's.

You could totally see it coming.  I like how he did the Probst “role” though. Maybe his replacement when he is ready to leave the island.

I  am sorry, I will not be joining all of you for Bella 2.  I had our favorite TA book about 10 cruises in Asia, Australia, NZ and the South Pacific, and cancelled the Wonder, aka Bella sailing.  We buried K’s mother yesterday, after we cut our trip out west short in the Airstream.  Saw a lot of amazing things on the trip, I flew K home as we were trying to return because it was obvious she was failing.  Fortunately, she got back while they could still talk.  I made it back on my own a bit later.  It was a lovely moment on a beautiful fall day without a cloud in the sky and the flag at half mast for her, as she was interred with her husband who died 46 years ago.  A WWII veteran of the South Pacific theatre, specifically fighting in the battle for Peleliu with the Wildcat division of the Army. 

 

If you want I will post some pix of our trip thru a few NPs and a trip thru some beautiful country, both in the USA and Canada.

Sorry for the loss.  May she RIP🙏

Beautiful photos. 

I feel stupid asking but what is the large white one?   

Love how you slipped in dog photo.

I started to watch Dr. Odyssey. It is worse than I remember it being.

I think I remember you saying it was pretty awful already. 🤭 Or was that someone else?

I have the same question.

@HBE4 too, I don’t think there is a lot of planning yet.  Maybe now that final payment is rolling up.  I’m on the other site, so if I see some organized activities, I can share here and on the Bella thread.  Right now, the main thing I’ve seen was the sailaway @dani negreanu mentioned. 🙂

I’m looking forward to meeting you all. This will be our first and second Bella cruise, so we’re newbies to the group….and I’ll throw it out there, I’m real bad at remembering names 🤪 but not faces 😁

Me too! Since I come from a big Cajun family, we tend to call everyone darlin’ and sweetie.  Makes it easier when you can’t remember names, but at the office HR isn’t crazy about it. 🙃

I agree

Good morning.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

My late mam's sister died of Alzheimer's yesterday morning aged 97.

Our clocks go back 1 hour on Sunday morning and it is my 68th birthday on Sunday so I will have a 25 hour birthday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

 

[aussielozzie18]

@grapau27  Condolences on the passing of your Aunt.  May she rest in peace.

 

Very happy birthday for Sunday Graham.  I suspect you and Pauline and maybe Sarah have a special meal somewhere planned.  Enjoy.

So sorry to hear of your Aunt’s passing.  I hope that you have some good memories to cherish.

I'm surprised about this weekend's time change. For some reason I thought your change occurred after ours. I need to remember to adjust my watch Sunday. I keep the secondary time on London time.

 

And.... Happy Birthday!
