Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 15, 2023 Author #751 Share Posted September 15, 2023 We are about 2 weeks early for the fall colors. Just a few trees are showing color. Crossing an old railroad bridge was really interesting. Local school classes painted panels. Remember this one of Tower Hill 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 15, 2023 Author #753 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Now up to Tower Hill and a museum Iain made it up two floors before turning back. He doesn’t do heights well. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 15, 2023 Author #755 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I did find a couple doors. Most homes have storm doors that hide the door. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they had 45 cruises and this year it doubled to 96. We are really enjoying getting to know this area of the US/Canada. I've been eyeing the Viking Longitudinal cruises between the Great Lakes and very South America. Those look amazing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree anyway, but I may be switching to non-alcoholic wine (if any) and I would like to have the option. Do you have any non-alcoholic wines you recommend on Celebrity? I've never tried any. As far as I know, they only carry one brand--Fre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent quite a bit of time with Sparky the Fire Dog while volunteering at FD Open Houses over the years. He even came to my classroom during Fire Safety Week, coincidentally, on the same day PapaFej came to talk to the students about fire safety. Sadly, PapaFej had to go back to the station about ten minutes before Sparky arrived. I had hoped the two of them could meet. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaranaman Posted September 15, 2023 #761 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Such bright, happy colours captured on your camera! Thank you for the smiles this afternoon 😊. We're having a gorgeous day, here in southern Ontario. Looks like the northern areas are as well! ~Bernadette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun feels so good and virtually no winds. We had some medium chop in Lake Michigan but since then on Lake Huron it has been as smooth as a pond. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaW Posted September 15, 2023 #764 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Jim, I am loving your posts. And your pictures are beautiful! Even though I have spent my life living on the shores of Lake Erie, I would love to do this itinerary. I would also love to see your ship transit the Welland Canal. Do you happen to know what the schedule is for that? Continue to enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port information on the tender this morning said Last shuttle 5:00 and departure 5:30 - We just departed at 6:00. I'll see if I can find out the timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
