bloke, we had a couple of those free car washes but missed the free drying by fifty miles or so. Done in by the snow in Wyoming. No fart sounds for currency, however...

We've only done one road trip like that, and it was from here to Nag's Head, North Carolina. That's a trip we're considering doing again, but we'll make it a 2-week trip the next time. We might even go as far northeast as Portland, Maine

Well. That makes sense. Portland is almost exactly halfway between Amarillo, Tx. and Nag's Head, NC.

Back from a cruise to Bermuda from Baltimore, the ship band was decent but would have been better with a tuba!!

Man that Lee Stofer is clever. Birds woke me at 5 this morning. I went to the kitchen and made fried eggs with Canadian bacon.

It is commencement week with 6 ceremonies this weekend. In my role as the house manager for the Great Hall all I can say is that I am thankful I don't have to play my tuba this weekend, and even better, I may not even have to step foot in the hall since I'll be overseeing all the activities and staff in the loggia. I haven't been this excited for commencement in a very long time.

I know you have a full schedule this week and coming weekend, but playing your tuba is a joy not a task! You have been sentenced to 5 minutes of no coffee or bacon.

DETAILS!
Which ship?
How many days?
Itinerary?

Royal Caribbean
7
Baltimore, to Bermuda, to Baltimore.

More days at sea than in port but the seas were favorable and being in the middle of the ocean is a nice experience.

No whales but we did spot some dolphin, flying fish and a giant manta.

Bermuda is glorious; much smaller and less populated than I imagined, and the beaches not as pink as I thought they would be.

But I'm not complaining!!

Yes, playing tuba is a joy but playing P&C ad naseum is complete and total punishment. Sentence rescinded and to make up for it I reward myself with 5 minutes of double bacon and coffee and then a glass of Johnny Walker Black when I get home this evening.

Terri and I cruised to St. Thomas and other Virgin Islands this past January. Too danged much water and too little land to suit me. Just tol artificial. And besides... I don't think I saw any virgins the entire trip!

Probably my first and last cruise!

Well... after watching about thirty minutes of Dave Letterman's farewell show... I fully understand why I watched very little of him over the last thirty-three years.

After the allegations (proven) that Dave molested female employees and CBS did nothing, I stopped watching. Then I discovered Jimmy Fallon. I like his humor better. I never last past the opening sections because his interviews are not very interesting to me.

That's the idea!!

The larger ships can't fit under the bridge on the way to Baltimore so only the Vision class gets up here.

I prefer smaller ships as the last cruise (and only other one I'd been on) was on a Star Clipper.

WOW!! That was First Class (Even in a balcony free stateroom)

We did the Barbados/Grenadines tour

My wife also prefers the Radiance class. I prefer the Voyager class. Our last cruise was on a Freedom class ship and neither of us liked it. We''ll be back on the Radiance class in October.
