We once drove from Miami to Key West and the best memory was the great key lime pie. I noticed a few months ago that the civic leaders there were agitating to refuse large cruise ships the right to dock there to preserve the quiet life for the residents. Has anyone been following that to see if it went into effect? Ray I lived in Key West in 1979 for about six months. Loved the town as a local and not a tourist. At the time there was no cruise ships or big docks. Just locals gathering to watch the sunset with jugglers and street venders selling little key lime pies and music. It’s hard to think it’s been over 40 years ago and things have changed so much. Thanks Rich and all. Stay cool. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic17 Posted June 26, 2021 #77 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thanks for the Daily. I got my walk in at 5am today to avoid the heat. Then came back and gave some extra water to my trees and shrubs. It's already past 90F. Just a bit much for us. The past two mornings the hot air balloons have been back. Yesterday there were 6 and this am there were the 3 largest. They launch about a mile from our house. It's so good to see that some things are getting back to normal. @mamaofamiHappy birthday. The roses are beautiful. Prayers to all on the care list and those who need them. Best wishes to all. Pacific Northwesters please take care in all this heat. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhead Fred Posted June 26, 2021 #78 Share Posted June 26, 2021 @VMax1700 - Today's wine is/was in Cellar #1 of HAL's Sommelier Suite. We have been to Key West twice on the Nieuw Amsterdam, once at the "Navy" pier and once at Mallory Square. The Aquarium was very enjoyable (fish fascinate me) - - and the Butterfly Conservatory has some beautiful birds in addition to the beautiful bugs. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobpatj Posted June 26, 2021 #81 Share Posted June 26, 2021 We’ve been to Key West three times, on three different ships. The first was on Celebrity Summit in January, 2002. The second time was on a BHB, Maasdam, in January, 2015, and third was on Oceania Riviera, in January, 2019. Key West is so easy to do on your own. The Key Lime Pie is amazing! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a nice thing for Nancy's kids to come to the game and support your DGS. Thanks Lenda. Very nice of them to come out, but any excuse to watch a game for that family and they are right on it! I was reminded by DH that yesterday's team which DGS played against was not from Nebraska but from Iowa. I had Nebraska on my mind because this hotel we're at is loaded with soccer players and families from Nebraska. The youth soccer leagues pick hotels for teams. DS and family are located miles and miles from us in a different hotel unfortunately. We're basically north and they are south county. Oh well, we make it work. Praying for a win tomorrow or it will be all over for the Tigers this tournament. A loss or tie and we will be out of it. A very tough team on the agenda at 12:30 pm Sunday. DH and I will run over to see his mama at the nursing home in the morning, too so hope she is having a good day. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted June 26, 2021 #83 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The PEV camera has been showing the condo residents out on the lawn awaiting the Edge's departure. FLL camera shows quite a crowd gathering for the sailaway. Will be a beautiful scene - even if I don't care for the Edge's design. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petunia1950 Posted June 26, 2021 #87 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's going to be a real show apparently -- Equinox which is also in port and Edge are communicating over the public VHF radio -- Edge is about ready to go and mentioned that there will be fire boats -- She blared horns this morning, so I expect there will be quite a TOOT leaving port. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
