Oh nooo Clint that's too big a ship for me to even think about, alllll those people that you can't get rid of 😲 total nightmare. Forme personally daylight saving time is ok. With the 🇬🇧 being so far north of the Equator without it Scotland would be dark until 10am etc. All my media devices all automatically adjust the time so only have mechanical time devices to adjust. Easy peasey lemon squeezy! So Carry on Cruising, Cheers DougT 🇫🇴🇬🇧

It did occasionally get to be “too much” for me too, but mostly…I found places that were relatively quiet and I was able to relax. Now, if only I could have slept better…but I guess that’s what home is for. :-p Finally getting used to being back on land…and this new time too. Cheers!

Enjoy the peace, that would be me too. I would love to explore a near empty ship, although I'm more a Queen Mary kinda girl (class and style in bucket fulls). I remember Channel 4 launching, very exciting, still a great Channel. Wow to think that there was a time, in my lifetime when we only had 3 channels 🤣. The good times, less is often more. Enjoy your holiday xx

A belated thanks, Tracey. The Queen Mary is docked down in Long Beach, just across from the port we cruised from. It’s amazing how big the cruise industry has gotten since she first set sail. Bigger, in my book, isn’t always better. My next cruise will likely be on a smaller ship, all by myself. Cheers! :-)

The solitude among 5,000 potentials sounds great. Advice Unasked: You should try to remember that feeling so you can accomplish it when home on dry land! Have more fun! Fondly, Michael

A belated thanks, Michael! I need to get some new loungers for the patio. Those were the secrets to my relaxation. :-)

We were going metric when Carter was President, but Raygun reversed that.

Thanks, Steve. I couldn’t remember why I have such found memories of the metric system. I guess I started learning it in elementary school…and then Raygun Derangement Syndrome took over. Cheers!

Sixes, that's all well and good but think of all the sand and grit that gets everywhere 😲😉😁 Cheers DougT

Thank you, Lee. My nerves and reserves are much, much better. I’ve come back energized to get some things done I’ve been putting off for months. Appreciate you!
