    @YOLO I'm not familiar with that specific tour so i can't say if it's a good choice or not, but let me know either way.

    @YOLO What else are you doing in Boston? Mike's is delicious. I live south of Boston and am always happy to give tips and advice.

    My wife and I sailed on Enchantment in October 2017 for our honeymoon. We flew from Providence to Fort Lauderdale the day before. At the airport, passing through security, I forgot my money clip in my back pocket and set the metal detector off. I had to be wanded and searched by TSA.
    The next day, after arriving at the terminal in Miami, we had to go through metal detectors and I managed to set them off again, despite making sure anything metallic was off.
    This continued for the entire voyage. Anytime getting back on board, I would always set off the metal detector. It was a recurring joke between my wife and I and even some of the security staff who recognized me. 
    Finally our last port of call - Key West - we were coming back on the ship and again, I set the metal detector off. The guard wanded me and did not detect anything. He noticed my sneakers and asked me to take them off and pass through the metal detector. Surprise, it didn't go off. He wanded the toes of the sneakers and it set the wand off, then sent them through the X-ray, which revealed that my sneakers had steel tips in the toes.

    @ellcee  Thanks!  She truly was a once in a lifetime dog for us.  Unfortunately, we lost her a couple of years ago.
    Here's Kuka on the morning of Jan 21, 2016 - her eighth birthday.  Such a sweet girl.  We still miss her.

    MattCasey got a reaction from Hoski in Who would ever let go of your child, even if there was no glass there?   
    Chances are Royal will settle with the family for a couple million with no admittance of fault. The sad thing is that it was an accident. Accidents happen. It's part of life. Not every accident is someone's fault (although I will say I think the grandfather is totally at fault in this situation).  However, we have to remember that none of us were there to see what happened and until all the facts are revealed to the public (which will probably be if it goes to trial), everything is speculation. I do think the lawyer is pushing the family to make a case out of this, maybe for his own greed (he'd take at least 33% of any settlement).

    Anyone confirm? Supposedly a small child was being held by a parent/grandparent and slipped and fell several decks.
    Thoughts to the family if it's true.

    MattCasey reacted to cookingyo in DOH! What did you forget to pack?   
    PANTS!  Seriously, I realized at the airport I forgot to pack pants for our 14 night Panama Canal Honeymoon trip.  Good news is there was a GAP in the airport and I bought some pants.  Wait.... What about formal wear....?  I was married in a kilt so I wore that whole kit for the 3 formal nights so no need for pants...

    As a smug Pats fan I don't have a need to throw things, wring my hands or engage in other silly superstitions. We play the Fins on embarkation day. Anticipating another 1st round playoff bye. The GOAT lives on!
