pengu1n Posted September 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I miss fancy and exotic foods! I miss seeing sights from far away! I miss beautiful blue water! How about you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted September 24, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Preaching to the choir, my friend! We still have excellent exotic food and drink, but we have to make it ourselves... Which sucks. And the scenery is pretty static. Friggin' 2020. Dave 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted September 25, 2020 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm doing OK on the good food, made at home or takeout, not so much on the drinks as that's a social thing and there's not much of that. Distant scenery would be nice. I'm covered on the blue water though...perk of living in a South Florida beach town. I miss just being on the ship - the sights, smells, and motion of the ocean. I miss Disney too - my last vacation away from home was the first week of March - usually I'd have been at Disney World at lest two more times by now. I can go to Disney if I wanted, but they are requiring masks at all times even outdoors - and there's just no part of 100 degree temps, 90% humidity, and wearing a mask outdoors that I want any part of...so I'll wait! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengu1n Posted September 26, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted September 26, 2020 No blue waters here - just a muddy Mississippi and a wide Missouri! (I live in the wedge of land where they meet up!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted September 26, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I can walk a couple of hundred metres to the waterfront and look across the bay to Station Pier. No cruise ships. Have to pretend the Spirit of Tasmania ferry is cruising. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Forever Posted October 16, 2020 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I miss cruising too and was so disappointed I had 2 cruises cancelled. Hope that 2021 I can sail away on my 2 cruises that are already booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted October 17, 2020 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Cruising and the lack of it is just symbolic of enjoying life's many pleasures. We are at a unique place in human history where we are choosing between the value of selfish pleasure versus a little sacrifice from all for a while so more people can enjoy a few more pleasures before they pass. Part of pleasure is capture memories in pictures, this year I sold my D4, Df, D810 and have my D5 for sell. Keeping my lens as they don't depreciate and the next time I need them things all these tools will be even cheaper, for now my iPhone12 will be mroe than good enough upgrade from my iPhoneXs I'll likely have to wait till 2022 to visit the big house, shoot my daughter, and take a cruise....
