A historic day of first tender operations for Hal in North America in a long time. Santa Catalina looks beautiful and I heard it is just 26 miles across the sea! 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted October 6, 2021 #103 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Good evening. I've been checking in here off and on all day, but just now had a chance to post again. After I finished cleaning the house, I took some time for me and took my book outside for awhile. It looks like today was a busy one on the Daily. @mamaofami Carol, what a nice gift for you DD. @ger_77 Gerry, glad you had such a good time last night. Sorry about the smoke in the air. @TiogaCruiser Sounds like you're making progress on the yard plans and work. @VMax1700 Good news your back is better. Be careful and enjoy your cruise. @aliaschief Great news all the morning tests were negative. @bennybear Enjoyed your pictures from Japan. @lazey1 Thank you for the update about Kakalena. Glad she's home and resting. I've not been to Catalina, it's on the bucket list. Thanks for the pictures.

Wow, it sounds like you're set for the winter with your stock of wood, nuts, etc. As long as you have enough wine to carry you through . . .you know, the essentials! I’m relieved to hear the air is better there now! Believe me, nothing else was attended to until I was sure the wine would last the winter. What if I ran out and was snowed in!😱 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Monday than Tuesday as a few of our first choice lunch spots were closed on Tuesday. Or was it the stigma of cruise ship clientele? Just a thought as Tuesday is not the traditional off day around my neck of woods. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted October 6, 2021 #107 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @kazu, And @mamaofami, what was the CC trick you mentioned? I couldn’t find it and I am having problems posting. Hopefully on the ship it will be better, but I can’t count on it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted October 6, 2021 #108 Share Posted October 6, 2021 My second stop in Kagoshima was Sengan-en Gardens and Shoko Shuseikan Museum. It was the estate of a former ruler of Kagoshima. The museum is the site of early Japanese industrial activity. The Gate at Sengan and then the gardens: And a cannon from the museum: It was a nasty departure but we still got an enthusiastic sendoff: Roy 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kplady Posted October 6, 2021 #109 Share Posted October 6, 2021 A very late but heartfelt thank you to all who wished us a happy anniversary! It was fairly quiet - I had a medical procedure in the morning, but we went out to dinner (a BBQ restaurant we like, and it was delicious!). I really appreciate all my Daily family here - hoping we can meet on a BHB in the future!! Laura 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a loss of blood and is now iron deficient and potassium deficient. These conditions are treated medically . She still has to have more tests done on an outpatient basis. Her hospital stay turned out to be in outpatient observation as there were no regular rooms available. "Darn that Covid 19 virus" This is very good to hear...I hope she has a steady recovery. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Ann, close cc down and then don’t use your frequently visited or book marked location to get into CC. Instead type in as if you were searching for it (ie something like cruise critic holland america forum) and cruise critic ask a question Holland America line will show. Click it to get in and so far so good, it’s been working for me on my Ipad. If it doesn’t work for you, type in search google chrome and open the app (it’s free) and use google chrome to post. Google chrome was what I was using when CC wasn’t working on safari until Carol mentioned her trick. Hope this helps. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. @Vict0riannI replied too fast before I finished my first cup of coffee as I knew you needed help and the time difference between us. I forgot to say that once you get in, you can leave the window open for the day. It’s worked for me, anyways. If CC is goofy the next day, try one of the two solutions. So far, so good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
