I'm siding with this trip over the SC one for a few reasons. The time frame lines up pretty well with a time i can typically take off. Plus if my cruise this Halloween still sails the SC cruise next year would make my 3rd time to the same ports. How many times do you really want to go to Nassau? I probably wouldn't even get off the ship Most people love the tropics but i spent 30 years in Florida so it's not all that different. Iceland, Greenland and Norway though? These are places I've always wanted to go but thought I wouldn't ever make it to. We are going to discus

I saw this the other day and i was floored by the itinerary. September seems like a perfect time to be in the area. I'll probably be on this cruise as well for my wife's birthday! Just need to work out a couple details before we book. Going to have to choose between this with the additional time off work, international flight and other additional expenses or a local Star class cruise i was already eye balling around the same time. That star class cruise was coming in cheaper than a balcony room on this but I'm interested in a grand suite so i can get those suite perks. The price

Glad you enjoyed the blog! The scavenger hunt was one of those great ideas that we just didnt have time to do to it's fullest. Let's just say everyone won because i didn't make anyone else throw in for the Floating Cabana lol.

Going to bump my old topic... why not? Not like anything new is happening... So here we are, a year later than this cruise. Right about now i would have been thinking about how great my 10 year anniversary was while wondering around an empty ship while everyone else is sleeping. (My 11th anniversary was great too but I'm not cruising ) It's pretty crazy thinking back. I remember starting to hear about the virus and thinking it was not big deal. Even crazier we were docked next to Anthem at San Juan... That Anthem sailing was the exact sailing that got quar

I signed up. I've been around covid this entire time. I've been tested a couple dozen times. So being subject to testing isn't an issue for me. I am extremely interested in participating in some of the drills. I want to see how they manage some of there bigger issues. I have a ton of procedures in place for my business but it could be extremely helpful to see it from a different perspective. Maybe i could learn something. I would have no anxiety being on the first cruise out even if they weren't doing a volunteer cruise. If my Sept sailing would have been a

I got me a genie already. It's my wife. *cheesy comment* because with her all of my dreams came true... *realistic comment* She definitely has to use some kind of magic to put up with my crap.

Yeah at my heaviest I was about 300, I got all the way back to 190 a couple years ago. I have been hovering between 220 and 230. I feel the best with myself under 210. I was 214 when I gave up 2 weeks ago. I'm 220 again. Dieting is super hard when there is a ton of stress. Work is tough, virus screwing up everything, a line to my septic collapsed and flooded my basement (this started my diet failing, just fully fixed today)... I just wanted a break! I was just joking about the Häagen-Dazs diet, I haven't been that horrible...I'll get back on track soon. Goin

Well i already had another cruise scheduled In Oct 2021. I am unwilling to take more time off work within 2 months of an already scheduled absence. It would just create too much work and headaches. As far as I can tell the L&S for this cruise would have to fall between Aug and Oct of 2021. If I could move this to sometime between March - and June 2021 it would work. That is my hail mary move. If the TA can work some magic great. Pretty sure I'm just going to take the refund.

Well I tried to stay positive but Corona has taken this cruise. I am extremely disappointed because i really needed this trip. I am trying a hail mary with the travel agent to lit and shift outside of the normal dates but i doubt that will happen. Once this refund is processed I will just spend it on a vacation that isn't a cruise. Diet update: I changed from a strict low carb diet to the Haagen Dazs about 2 weeks ago and hid the scale in the basement. I have been too ashamed to post. lol

Here were a couple water falls in Walpack Township. Had to go out just before a big storm to get pics of them frozen. Can't find the pics Buttermilk falls and Silver Spray falls.I took a couple summers ago.

Only the fall pic is from the same area I posted before. The others are from other trails around here... except the snow one. That was in my back yard.

Final payment made.

Tips to go faster in a waterslide: Try to have as little of your body actually touching the slide as possible. Cross your ankles, cross your arms, lift your butt completely off the slide with all your weight on the heels of your feet and your shoulders. Try to keep your legs, butt, back and head off the slide as much as possible. The less body touching the slide the faster you go. That's how you get 3 plus spins around the toilet bowl... i mean champagne bowl... on the Supercell slide. EDIT: Since this is a topic about the Abyss. I want to add to NOT do thi
