He will also learn script..So sad to see grown ups sign papers in print! Travel mags and natl geographic are nicer in print Reading is fun on a tablet/ kindle but some books are worth putting on our book shelves! Kids are still learning cursive in school. They are also learning how to develop apps and studying the cultures of countries I didn’t hear of until I was in my 20s. They are studying amazing things in science and being challenged in math. if someone prefers to print instead of writing in cursive, I don’t think it’s sad. I think it’s just their preference these new generations know more by the time they’re 10 then I did when I was 20. but I agree with you on the magazines lol I read almost everything on my iPad but when I’m in an airport, it feels luxurious to grab a handful and think of my old days of hanging out in a bookstore.

But you don’t need to recharge paper. I also think it’s good to have one or two magazines because if I’m reading on deck and it’s really sunny, sometimes the iPad is trouble. I do have a Kindle but I really like that zoom instead of using reading glasses lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect but the Pro has better anti reflection screen. And is laminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were those so called cameras when she stole my Chanel sunglasses right from my lounger? I was chatting with her in the pool and she kept looking at them: a half hour later they were gone. Totally my fault for bringing anything valuable on board but it was my second cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I tend to worry less, I didn't say I don't worry at all. I'm sorry somebody took them, unfortunately it was just too tempting for somebody without a conscience!

Same situation with my grandsons reef flip flops taken while he was in the hot tub. We went to pool attendant and guest services twice. Had I not insisted he bring a pair of runners he would have been barefoot leaving the ship. What is it with people, do they just help themselves to whatever they want? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY., and no foreign language yet.. 2nd grade . Reading not so much either. Lots of feelings "fiddle faddle!" and time out to breathe... BUT our 7 yr grandson old goes to Stem camp and can build and program a bot! The 4 yr old can build lots of stuff! Different world!
