luvteaching Posted September 9, 2022 #76 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Good afternoon, This cruise is winding down and Saturday it's home to all the "stuff" we do on a daily basis. Meanwhile tonight is Gala night, we've had one Lincoln Center Stage performance and there are 2 more to go this evening and I have to get some non-refundable on-board credit spent! The Captain made a very nice announcement at 11:45 AM regarding the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. It was very well said and you could hear the reactions of those who hadn't heard the news yet. She was an incredible woman in so many ways. I was born in 1953 so the only monarch I've known. I had a number of Elizabeths in my classes and I have several friends/family members with Elizabeth as their middle name. Ketchikan was glorious today. By 10:00 AM I'd done the shopping, purchased all of DH's required fudge, and was back on board. I was on the balcony calling my mom (who is 96 and a going concern) and I was getting too hot and could have easily been out suntanning! It was warm, blue skies, and just a perfect day in what is usually an overcast or rainy stop. Off to change and head to dinner. Thanks for everyone's input on here. I read the Daily several times a day! Karen 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Terri Posted September 9, 2022 #77 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Good Evening to all First of all RIP to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. She was surely a remarkable woman. Now for my news. We have moved to a hotel. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it was the one I chose because it is 4 1/2 miles from home. We have decided to stay here until next week and then move to someplace better in Savannah. The insurance rep had a medical emergency yesterday and apologized profusely for not being available, However, he made up for it today. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the adjuster at 11 am and then Jim has a doctor’s appointment at 2:30. So we are glad to be nearby. Next Wednesday we have an appointment with the General Contractor and he will assess the situation and determine the cost and the length of time to get the work done. We have two months of hotel stay booked and it is not a problem to change hotels. We have also decided that we will probably go to Barbados in the beginning of October as planned since there is nothing that we can do or change here. Besides, we need the rest. So that is my update. I have not read the posts. I have been busy all day. Had nothing to eat except a sandwich. It has been another crazy day. I hope you are all well. I will try to post tomorrow after we meet with the adjuster. God Bless. Terri 12 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savannah is DH's hometown and where most of my in-laws live. Good to hear that you have a trip to Barbados planned too, you need it! 🙂 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago when worry of black mold was a concern, one of my shower valves behind the travertine tile let loose like your toilet. Rather than break through the travertine, they went through the drywall in the living room. Fear of mold, insurance sent us to a hotel for a month. Hated to be away from home, but after seeing the construction mess, glad we weren’t there. Try to treat it as a small ‘vacation’! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
