This is what I use, if/when im concerned. I use this camping and fishing, and it works well. https://www.amazon.com/Mosquito-Continuous-Sunscreen-Insect-Repellent/dp/B00BQ81INS/ref=sr_1_7?crid=OBIF46RG2IXG&keywords=bullfrog+sunscreen+and+insect+repellent&qid=1582301251&sprefix=bull+frog+sun%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-7

We had quite an arctic situation in South Carolina, yesterday. There was actual snow falling from the sky....it left a trace of a dusting on everything, but the ground. I think we will be ok. Kids had a school delay this morning. Nothing we couldnt overcome. Keep us in your thoughts, prayers, send some good vibes into the universe....whatever all of yall believe in. #CarolinaStrong ...and 43 days till Rhapsody out of Tampa. Wife scolded me and told me to quit adding stuff to the Amazon "cruise list". #SteveStrong

I am now a big @twangster fan....man, I love facts and reason. ??

Yeah....its not economical to prepare for the one, MAYBE, snow "event" we get a year. So if it snows, even a little, its hysteria. Everything shuts down. Even my employer sends everyone home. Is it excessive? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. If im in the house with my family tomorrow, itll just give me more time to over analyze my packing list, order my last few things from Amazon.....44 days!!!!!! No royal up decision yet. I think I wont get that decision till last minute. @kilmarlic enjoy your trip, and while youre sipping that drink by the pool in the sunshine.....think of your Carolina brothers and sisters in the snow/slush.

as you should be.....as you should be......

Yeah, im near Charlotte and the rush for bread and milk has begun!!!! MILK SANDWICHES FOR ALL!!!!! Charlotte-Meck schools are already dismissing 3 hours early, and my kids school system (Rock Hill) has already determined a 2 hour delay tomorrow, but fully intend to make it a whole day if snow actually accumulates. HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!!!! On one hand, it makes the waiting for my cruise (44 days) even harder....but part of me feels like this is just going to make it that much sweeter.

Our finances are the greatest rival of our morals.

Bah.....business as usual in Latin America. Ive seen much, much, MUCH worse. Watched people burn down a Popeyes Chicken in Tegucigalpa, Honduras after the coup in 2009.....ill gladly take some disgruntled taxi drivers. ? Im sure theyll get this resolved quickly. Too much money involved.

.....and I thought I read everything. Foolish me.

Ive been looking for a cruise in late 2021, also. I wondered the same thing, so @Matt......

I have a bag started too. Things I wont use between now and then that I dont want to forget (swimsuits, USB hub, sunblock, towel clips, travel first aid kit, etc...)

Im just waiting to see if my Royal Up bid was accepted, or not. Im 46 days out....have everything done, even my shopping......it SUCKS. lol

You ever reach that point where you feel like youve researched all you can, youve set up all your excursions, youve filled out all there is to fill out.....and youre just WAITING. Its agony, and I just want my embarkation day to GET HERE. What do yall do to deal with the agony, the torture, the slow death of WAITING?

I was always taught that your tipping SHOULD be anonymous/private. I hide my check from obvious view as im filling it out at restaurants, If im slipping cash to someone, i fold it up and do it as inconspicuous at possible, and its never a topic of conversation. The tip and giving has little (to nothing) to do with me.....its appreciation of what THEY have done. Talking about money, almost always, is tacky.....also....Matthew 6:4 and all.....

Funny, related, story : Went to Mellow Mushroom last weekend with my family...my son wanted a straw, and they brought paper straws out......that I had to put through a PLASTIC lid. Id opt for the stainless straws. With two boys, we use straws all the time and have found we prefer the stainless steel ones to the silicone ones....but im sure its personal preference. We got some at Walmart with a cleaner for less than 5 bucks.

More is better....2 interior rooms

Havent been able to sign into RC site since yesterday. Anyone else?

...and Dad's. I am married with 2 boys. I do all the cooking for my family, as my wife is a Nurse and doesn't get home till later than us. I am looking forward to doughnuts, bagels, fruit and COFFEE delivered to my room EVERY MORNING, no meal prep (i cook my personal meals for the entire week) on Sunday, and no nightly dinners for the family, followed by the DISHES! Its the small things...ill worry about being back to Mr. Mom post cruise.

Me....with Honduran Lempiras....

This is very good news, since I put in a weak bid on an interior to balcony upgrade for Rhapsody in April! CONGRATS and ENJOY THAT BALCONY!!!!!!
