Rare sid_9169 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #1655 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Sexy is whipping up a drink now that looks half lethal... He put two big shots of Patron anejo, and then a full shot of mezcal... Worst case scenario, I fall off the barstool... Here goes nothing......... 17 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been more of a pop tart/pork chop guy. I never thought of combining the two. I couldn’t get this pork tart off of my mind on the drive home. I think I came up with a good idea…the pop chop. 3 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellfree Posted December 10, 2022 #1660 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Sid, don’t mean to be too nosey, and please ignore if I am, however am thinking you implied it early in your “live,” but what do you mean by “retire a happy man?” Have you chosen to no longer do live reporting during a cruise? Is this good-bye? We are all benefiting but it must be extremely taxing. Edited December 10, 2022 by cellfree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things take sooo much time to "do big" like myself and others like Saint Greg do. It's basically my whole vacation... Not that I don't enjoy the back and forth of it all, and entertaining people, it just really is more work than you realize. I need to be trying to get away from work, but here I am putting in more hours on vacation than I do at my regular job... I wanted to go out with a "bang", and I've already accomplished that and then some thanks to all of you AWESOME READERS... 35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #1671 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Wow, I don't even know what to say... I wanted to put the pedal to the metal and try to give you all the best Live that I could muster, and know YOU have all BLOWN ME AWAY with your generosity and encouragement!... All those months during my cruise countdown I was telling myself "give them everything you've got, one last time"... I had planned carefully for several months, and then just threw all that out the window, mostly due to pure laziness on my part. The hand drawn maps that I never even bothered to make. The list of things I wanted to accomplish in each port. All the different bars on board the ship, and yet I only ever visited ONE... It was something that fell apart, yet it all came together in the end... I am truly amazed by all of you who followed along on this epic journey, just to find out "what will happen next?"... It also had a lot to do with going "head to head" with Carnival cruise lines' biggest writer, Saint Greg... He puts out extremely detailed masterpieces, that take untold amounts of work. He had already given you all every single piece of information possible for anyone wanting to sail the Celebration. All I could do was to try and give you everything I could that he hadn't already covered. I'm not out here trying to build a reputable brand like he is, I'm just mostly blowing smoke, and having a good time trying to entertain you all. In that mission, we both succeeded this week. I've got another day on board here, and I'll try to give you all one more good run, but what you've all given me this past week has already made it all worth the time and effort I've given. Thanks to each and every one of you who helped make this a truly magnificent journey......... Edited December 10, 2022 by sid_9169 51 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvilleCruiser Posted December 10, 2022 #1675 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Thanks for putting in the time for an extremely entertaining review, Sid. I’ll be getting on the Celebration as you are leaving, and you (and Saint Greg) have given me many ideas about where I want to explore.
