  1. Sorry to disappoint both you and @Ampurp85, but the weather was due to 'Indian Summer' - a couple of warm, summer-like days after a hard frost.
  2. @melmar02 - sorry for hijacking your blog. I have to speak out. @jbrinkm - I have to agree to hold off on getting the kids phones until later unless the phone is a simple cell phone to make calls to home. 2 of my 3 kids were bullied in junior high school (11-13 year old). I could not get their school principal to do anything about the bullying until I threaten to go directly to the bully's parents. I can only imagine the horror that they would have endured if the bullies had access to their phone number or social media accounts (if they had phone numbers and social media accounts). High school was soon enough for my kids to get their first phones and social media accounts. Our community have been plaque with pre-teen and teen suicides. So this topic really hits home. But I will also agree that each child is different in their mental development. Therefore, each parent needs to make their own decision about their own kids. Where are my kids today? A military Major, a nurse practitioner, and a software engineer; each in a solid relationship with 2 kids of their own.
  3. Yes, it will work out. All you need to do is make sure only 2 devices are on the internet at one time. It can save you money if one person only needs to get on line for a few minutes each day. My husband usually carries both his computer and his phone while I only have my phone. So we get the 2 device package. What happens if a third device suddenly logs on while the other 2 devices are one? I believe that one of the other 2 devices will be kicked off so the third device can log on.
  4. Girlfriend - you have LOST your mind!!!! Yes, I am rolling my eyes. Did someone slip something in your drink?? I should not complain. I am already sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for your blog with the vintages. Do I really have to wait 328 days?
  5. Repeat after me.... I WILL NEVER BE VINTAGES' TA EVER AGAIN!!! Repeat that several times a day for the next 365 days. I bet you will feel better. Thank you for your BLOG. I loved it all. The stories, the food porn.
  6. WJ closing one section: Could it be the hour and the lack of staffing? Or they could be doing a deep clean in the closed section. Just a thought.
  7. I hate raisins in anything. I like eating them by themselves but they don't belong in pies or cookies. Now, craisins are a different beast. I love craisins in my apple pie.
  8. No apology necessary. After all, it was your vacation - not a working vacation. Thank you for taking us along. I have now added Galapagos Island on my bucket list.
  9. I missed the Richard Nixon duck the first time around. @SweetPea said something, I went back looking for him. OH MY GOODNESS - the air and the peace signs!! PERFECT!
  10. And give you likes even though we were never there!! Anything for a friend.
  11. This morning was I going to write "Only 10 days to go - any updates?" But I did not want to add anymore pressure on you. I must have known you were going to write something up.
  12. I have always packed 1 or 2 extra of everything. This is just in case something gets wet or dirty early in the day. (And I am not talking about #1 or #2). I guess I picked it up from camping, where you are exposed to all weather and extremely active. But 2xN + 1 - WOW!
  13. Thank you for this blog. I found it very interesting.
  14. I have my own personal experience with undies this past weekend. My hubby and I were traveling to WI (from NH) for the weekend. He had to do some talks on both Saturday and Sunday. I got to hang out with my daughter's in-laws. Since my husband gets up earlier than I do, he usually lays out his clothes. Then when I get up, I pack the luggage. I also thought we would be leaving for the airport as soon as he got out of work. When I got up, I noticed that my husband only laid out 1 suit, 1 shirt, 1 set of undies, 1 tie, and 1 pair of black socks. Oh, and a belt. I was thinking to myself - is he crazy??? Is he turning into Batman with only 1 pair of underwear? What if he spills something on the shirt or tie? What about the time between his talks - doesn't he want to dress down? It is going to be in the mid 80's. He is going to roast. So, I added the correct number of undies (plus 1), an extra dress shirt and tie, 2 short sleeve shirts, and extra socks. When he got home, he announced that he was going to go upstairs to finish packing. GREAT! My husband is not turning into Batman with 1 underwear. He was going to add to his pile. In addition to what I had packed for him, he added an extra pair of shoes.
  15. Just buy the bottle of wine and send it to a random room with a note, "Why not!" It will drive them crazy.
  16. Prayers for you and your family, @PPPJJ-GCVAB. Be sure to remember all the good times you had with your mom.
  17. Write it up like you are writing up a short story. Change the names to protect the innocent. He will never know. Maybe.
  18. And that is how a great marriage work - realizing that your lives change and how to adjust for those changes. Great job! And I hope you win PowerBall so you can take more BIGGIE vacations.
  19. If you don't mind, I have a few questions: 1) Is there a time of the year that is better to visit the Galapagos Island? 2) I noticed that some rooms have verandas while others have horizontal balconies. What is the difference between a veranda and a horizontal balcony? 3) Was the door-to-door package worth the extra money? 4) Did they seem to have enough equipment that everyone could do what they wanted to do (i.e. Kayaks or snorkeling gear)? 5) If SilverSea could do 1 thing better, what would that be? Many thanks for taking us along. It is now on my bucket list. Just trying to figure out when to go.
  20. I have the same issue with my teacher husband. So, that means for me, no traveling between Sept to May, unless I go solo. Anyone up for a trip??? LOL!
  21. Just joining. This has been FANTASTIC! I have always been interested in the Galapagos Islands. It went from being interested in to being on my bucket list.
  22. Hey, @Matt. Can you add an area to keep all these great restaurants, hotels, and other sites? Maybe do it similar to Roll Call but instead divide it by states or regions? Thanks for reading.
