What a game. I almost turned it off when they were down 12. I hope you got to see it. 

Got to see it.  The first half I thought we were going to get embarrassed.   About the middle of the second half I stopped trying to keep up with this thread and watched the game closely.

Yes, John did an Awesome job in arranging all of this and all his extra work into making name plates, ornaments, etc. definitely was above and beyond.     

@John&LaLa Hope you feel better soon😍

 

FWIW, they're a challenge to organize correctly

I usually like humans🤣   Hope you enjoyed your butter

 

Your tuna looked delicious so did the brownie.

 

I liked the humans when they served the flat bread pieces pre covid

Could it be something you drank? I hope it is quick to pass. 

 

I don't believe it was drink related. I hadn't had a drink in almost 20 hours

I have to apologize to everyone tonight. We are finishing dinner at Chops but will not be able to make it to Schooner to say goodbye. My knee is killing me and my cankles are so swollen I have a hard time walking. Needless to say getting old is a pain in the you know what. 
 

I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this week. It’s been life changing for me. I now have life long friendships that I will cherish forever. 
 

This cruise has renewed my faith in humanity in that you can take a variety of people who don’t know each other very well and have never met and becomes close friends over our bonds of cruising and posting on cruise critic.

 

I look forward to staying in touch with many of you and also cruising together in the future. We are family now bonded over the love of a little dog that has captured our hearts.

 

Safe travels until we meet again.

 

Cheers,

Sea Dog

We had dinner at Coastal Kitchen tonight. 
 

I had the fennel soup and Lisa had the caesar salad to start.  More importantly we started with bread and butter. Ignore the humans and olive spread. 
 

 

 

I had the tuna. 
 

 

Lisa had the grilled veal chop. 
 

 

Ice cream brownie for me. The 7 year old beside me had it, so I figured why not. 
 

 

Cheese cake for Lisa. 
 

From the looks of your butter, it must be very cold in CK this evening…

Maybe it's withdraws if it's been that long since alcohol🤣

Greg and John, feel better.  At least you made it to the end of the cruise!

Have you ever gone to a crab restaurant where they put paper on the table and dump the crabs and fries on the paper? 

Another is a Low Country Boil. It is loaded with Shrimp, sausage,  corn on the cob and a variety of other stuff.  After cooking it is tossed out on paper or tray for all to enjoy.

I really wanted a proper send off.

 

Could have been epic

Yes, I have had and made boils like that too!    

As our family loves to go crabbing down the shore as well as eat crabs. A couple years ago I bought one of those brown paper rolls with crab print on it (it's about 4 or 5' tall and never ending length).    We have used it many times and the roll still has a lot left.

@john&lala I was waiting for the Farewell Show😢

Guess who's Passenger Zero tomorrow 🤪 

 

Yep, last off. Escorted by my new friend Valesi.

He might be Head Purser

I totally believe that. Still hard to fathom all you did to make it happen as well as the outcome of all that planning.

Now Laura did score these bad boys on St Patrick Day. They're coming home

Thank you everyone for sharing your cruise.  Safe travels to all.  

[John&LaLa]

Interestingly enough, wr are right at 10% of the total posts in the Bella thread, but about 20% of the views.

 

Lots more traffic on main page than Floataway Lounge

Sorry you are not feeling well. I'm sure it is a bit of a disappointing ending. It is always much worse to not be well when away from home. Hope you feel better soon.

Did you get to watch it?  Great finish.  Devo Davis had a great game.

I got to see parts of the second half. Keep waiting for the collapse that never happened, thank goodness. And yes Devo was great down the stretch then RC4 took over. We keep playing!!

Thanks. I was going to get some water pills in Mexico but held off because of my blood pressure medicine. It already has a diuretic and I need to check with my doctor before taking.

Thanks to all who posted in this thread.  Easy to see that you became quick friends and really like each other.  You kept me entertained all week.  Safe travels home and speedy recovery to those not feeling well.
