How hot has it been? I haven't been watching. In the 100s?
Well luckily not in the 100s in Long Beach, but in Palm Springs it's been up to 122, we've been in the high 80's but with 90% humidity. We always used to say it was a dry heat, but with all the climate change and such our summers have been full of monsoonal moisture.
The relief must be palpable.
Well since nothing has happened again for two weeks, there isn't much relief.
Whoa. That is quite the jump! How do they justify almost doubling it???
Well as I think about it, the last couple trips we paid the 45K, but that was because we wanted the non stop flight and didn't want to change in Dallas. However now even the flight's with a plane change are 45K as well. Ever since American and US Airways merged it's been going downhill. The used to bake cookies near the end of the flight. That stopped as soon as the merger took place.
Oh? When?
I am pondering another solo trip to the world in the fall.
Although, TBH, it would probably be in November.
Bummer. We leave Nov 2nd. We get there on the night of the 25th.
Yeah... sounds a bit off the cuff.
Well we will just have to see. It would be nice to get some $''s back if that is the case!
Sheesh, Disney. Put the dome up for Pete's sakes!
I know, is a little climate control too much to ask?
Never heard of it. Is that new?
No, it's a fairly old movie. 2008, I just looked it up. George Lopez and Drew Barrymore were the main stars (voices). There have been two sequels since.
Always tricky. But thanks for all those!
I got to look around an area that I may never see.
I doubt you would ever get to see the women's locker room!
So what was the difference?
Both were humid heat, but the steam room has a big burst of steam every few minutes. The room is so steamy you can't see across it. The Turkish bath you can see everyone clearly. I think I like the anonymity of the steam room better.
Hot tub with a view. Nice!
I can't wait until the next cruise to get in it on a day at sea!
I have seen almost this exact photo.
I think I was looking for ideas for loungers.
I can't imagine how much these heated ones cost!
Oh good!
From those previous shots, I thought it would rain all day.
Maybe others thought the same and that's why the beaches were empty.
That's the thing about a lot of these storms, they pass through and it's nice the rest of the day. Usually.
Whoops! But then again, better on the floor then on your clothes.
Very true.
The sand looks dry. Was it?
I done know. I never went on it!
Anything interesting? Or mostly Disney stuff that you could get anywhere? Or more
Castaway Cay specific?
Just about everything was Castaway Cay specific. Only place on the planet you can get it.
That just boggles my mind. Having worked in aviation pretty much my entire career...
A tram on an airstrip.... makes me nervous!!
Well considering that planes don't land on it any longer, I don't think it's an issue. It was only when the island was used for drug smuggling that the trams could pose a problem for planes.
The mahimahi caught my eye and would've been the first thing I'd try.
That was my entire reason for wanting to skip the family buffet. That and the Rib Eye were exclusive to the adults beach buffet. Perhaps some of the salads as well. When I went up and took a peek at the family buffet, I immediately saw no Mahi Mahi, and that clinched the decision for me.
Aw! Look at that smile! There's one pleased as punch lady!
I wish she would never that happy at home!
I was wondering about that. Glad it wasn't an issue.
Me too!
Huh. Never heard of soft serve banana. I'd try it. But would be hesitant, to say the least.
They had lots of odd flavors at the soft serve machines on the ship. I'm not a huge fan of soft serve, so I only went there the one time to get her a tub of it, earlier in the cruise.
Well... Okay. I kinda like them.
You may get one.
Thank you, it looks nice along with our Iron Man, Haunted Mansion mug, Spaceship Earth....too many souvie mugs!
Making up for having one waiting for you earlier.
Karma. Always gets you somehow. Evens everything out.
You are the opposite of my Mom. She goes and reduces the tip.
Former teacher. Notoriously poor tippers.
Actually you can't do that. The sheets they leave for you are the minimum amount you have to give your host/servers. But we have always had such excellent service we feel they should be rewarded. Besides, they are paid almost nothing. The only pay they really get is from tips which is why they are so willing to do almost anything for you.
I couldn't do that. Not in a tub that size, anyway. If someone's in the tub already... I'd just leave.
I can understand. If it were a guy in there, I would have been reluctant to get in.
This would be my number one spot that I'd like to see.
There are so many places on the ship that are just spectacular. But this one is high up there!
Never had Beef Wellington. And I'd sure like to! I watch Hell's Kitchen and they're always talking about it.
I've only had it at Disney, on the cruise ship and at a place that you have dined at.
They usually save that one for the end of the cruise. I think they think it's the most creative one.
