wow..just looked and your cruise has lots of guarantees now............I could go by myself for only $350............:cool:

Wow! That's some price. So are you packing yet? :banana:LOL I guess people are hesitant to cruise during hurricane season this year. I'm sure the economy has something to do with it too.

Staff Captain
Packing(in my mind).......I wouldnt want to be the 3rd wheel....

So you booking anymore while onboard?? Got any more in mind???

Staff Captain
just read this about the MN...........

Yes, nightly diamond event was 5pm to 8pm. It was full every night right after 5pm (get there early) but when we went back about 7:30 after the dinner, there was only few people in there. Morning breakfast in Viking Crown Lounge was so nice and quiet, only few people at the time when we were there. They had there everything for breakfast what we usually eat, gravlox, cold cuts, cheese, rolls, bagels, fruits, pastries etc. and of course coffee, tea and some juices.

Where do they have the nightly event on MN? Viking Crown also? Guess we'll have to give it a try, especially if the prices remain so low.

We're not planning to book anything while on EN. Why bother? Since they eliminated being able to use all the benefits together, I'd rather just take it one booking at a time. Besides I'm thinking about jumping ship and trying the Carnival Dream when it comes out. Just not sure for when that would be.

Staff Captain
They do have it in the VKC...........

Friends of mine are going on the Dream in December.........

checked prices and the Dream comes out about $200 less than the FR(basically same itinerary) in May.......
 

Breeze

<b>Queen Gator</b>
Is that an eastern or western itinerary? I want to do eastern again. Need to restock on adult beverages in St. Maarten!:clap::clap:

Missy called a little while ago asking about MN. Seems like the Dr. is treating his staff & spouses to a 3 night in November. Might have to think about doing that one. Heck of a thing when that's the only way I get to see my daughter these days! I also was looking at Thanksgiving on MN. Rates are very reasonable with resident and senior rates. That was surprising.

Eastern................

We were "looking" at the 3 nighter Thanksgiving weekend.........even though I would love to get outta town for turkey day.........its also pretty cheap.

I would really LOVE to a NYEs one again................but on RCCL, they are all 5 nighters............Carnival Sensation does a Thursday to Sunday one which would be perfect cuz Dennis would already have off............wouldnt be my top pick ship,but for celebrating NYEs,it would be fun,,,,


Just made a tuna/pasta salad for dinner............didnt feel like cooking anything..........

Morning, PH, and anyone else who might stop by ... Janet, Gordon, KC. It definitely is another beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Ended up going out for dinner last night. Went to Logan's Steakhouse. Do you have one in Ocala, PH? We've been seeing their commercials for 2 dinners for like $13.95 and decided to give it a try. I was really surprised how good their meatloaf was. Got home in time to watch the DWTS results show. Aside from wanting to see who was eliminated, they did a tribute to Patrick Swayze. The pro dancers danced to "She's Like the Wind" ( song he wrote with his wife in mind), "Unchained Melody" and "I Had the Time of My Life". Could not have picked 3 more perfect songs. Needless to say, by the time they were finished - :bawl::bawl:

Got a tile man here today tiling the backsplash in the kitchen. Another one of those jobs that has taken 4 1/2 years to get around to. Guess I better go see how this job is coming along.

Staff Captain
WE do have Logans............next to Applebees by the movie theater.............have eaten a few times...........never had the meatloaf........last time I had a salad with chicken,cranberries,etc and it was sooooooooo good.................

would like to do a backsplash here too..........what colors did you pick out???
 

Breeze

<b>Queen Gator</b>
The backsplash is different shades of brown ... From beige to mottled browns. Come in sheets with shades mixed. Also doing approx. 4 inch border tiles to mix it up a bit. Got the stuff at Lowes. Tiles are ceramic and are harder to cut than most. Costing $200 to do the job. Bert was going to do it himself, but would have needed to rent machine to cut tiles so he said the heck with it and bit the bullet and hired the guy. Now you'll just have to come down and see how it looks.

They must have built the Logan's after we left. It's been so long since we drive down Easy Street that we probably wouldn't recognize it any longer. Heck, we haven't been up the Blvd. further than the Square in a couple of years. Speaking of the Square, read a story about the city possibly not renewing the hot dog lady's license due to taking up a parking space. Read about it in the Blunder, of course!

Staff Captain
Thanks for my daily Ocala update.............

Dennis thought about doing the backsplash too,but for $200,it would be worth it to have it done........local guy or did you go thru Lowes??

We will definitely have to come and see it..............maybe sometime in Oct,when you get back...

Off to town..............car wash.........Walgreens..........Sams and Publix.......oh yea,first stop gas in the car..........its so low,its not funny..
 

Breeze

<b>Queen Gator</b>
He's a local guy that Bert found in the newspaper. Sorry ... I'm not going to find you a guy in the Blunder!!! We bought the materials ourselves, so the $200. is for labor.

Maybe when you and Dennis come down, we could go to Bahama Breeze. Hopefully, by then the weather will have cooled off a bit and we could eat out o the patio. With the music playing, it would (almost) feel like being on a cruise!!!

Have fun shopping. Think we might head for the Grill this afternoon for a beer once this guy is finished working. Might need it by then! I don't want to disturb the guy, so I can't even make lunch!
 

PH8

Staff Captain
We have used many people that we found in the paper........fencing,paint,etc........told Dennis you're only paying $200 and he said it would be worth it to him............and we might get cheaper cuz your kitchen is bigger...........

Bahama Breeze sounds like a plan!!

Just got home.............went to 4 different Walgreens for sales with limits............Sams for chicken and samples:clap:........Car wash and Publix............just had a sub for dinner..........

Headed to the inlaws.......it will be Happy Hour there............then again,every day,all day is Happy Hour for them.............

Dennis wont be home till tomorrow night or maybe Saturday am.........TV in bed tonite!!:boogie::boogie::boogie:

The backsplash looks fantastic! The guy did a super job. Can't wait until tomorrow when we can wipe it all down once the grout is dry. I'm very pleased with it and thought it was well worth the money.

Went to Joanne's to pick up some of their BOGO stuff. I can't believe they even have their Christmas stuff which only went out on display a few days ago, is already on sale.

Never made it to the Grill. Due to lightening in the area, they closed the pool area down, so the Grill had no business. Guy who runs it told them at the anenity center that he was going to close and asked them to call us, so that we didn't make a trip there for nothing. I thought that was so funny, as we were planning to go as soon as Bert got back from another trip to Lowes.

Time to call it a night and go watch Jay Leno. Talk to ya in the AM!
 

PH8

Staff Captain
Im here too..............wide awake....................too bad we're not closer...............could have a night cap together.........

Glad your backsplash came out nice.............cant wait to see it!!

Not much on TV............I'll put Leno too...................heard Rush is on..............been to a party with him in NY!!
 

PH8

Staff Captain

Good morning! Ah, Key West ... Can't wait to be there next Tuesday. We have to pay a visit to Irish Kevin's. I know Rita was planning to take the gals there today. We introduced her to Kevin's the time we were on EN with her and Bill.

Nothing going on here either until this evening and then it's BINGO time. Sure hope I do better than last time which was actually boring ... The same 2 people won 6 of the 8 games. The rest of us were chicken liver!!!

You're right, PH - I do have to start packing. I'll probably do it Sunday evening. Today I just have to remember to stop the newspaper.

Coffee calls ...

It is drying out but more rain coming in for the weekend but won't be like last weekend.

Can't wait until 5:00 gets here. I am ready for this week to be OVER.

Worried about the Gators. Many with the flu and injuries. If we can make it through this game, we have next weekend off to rest up and get everyone well.
