    THe last two weeks have been frantic. Didn't even have time to download our pix to my computer. Perhaps tomorrow. As soon as I have done that I'll upload some to Dropbox and send out invitations. We're off to check out a new gym in a few minutes. We'll attend a glass of BodyPump first and...

    We're back in Europe. All the flights were on time, the one from Atlanta to Amsterdam even landed 50 minutes early. We unpacked 80% even though we got home as late as 6 pm. Tomorrow the washing machine and the dryer will run all day. We definitely enjoyed cruising and the beaches, but it's...

    I hope that's just a typo and not a Freudian slip :rotfl2: We are getting ready to return to Europe. Everything is packed and in about three hours we'll hit the road for a five hour trip to Jacksonville from where we'll fly first to Atlanta, then on to Amsterdam. Netherlands and then the...

    I would have driven all the way to Canada to fly home then!! ;) But we're seriously considering not traveling to the USA next year if that chaos doesn't stop anytime soon :crazy2: We've vacationed here 17 times now, and I think we have been here at least once a year since 2003, but if we need...

    Today I made use of my newly acquired status of being a 50+ shopper: I bought something at the Samsonite Outlet, showed my ID and was given a 10% discount on my age :thumbsup2 Sonetimes it's great to be an old fart :rotfl2:

    It's good to read that even parents had the same impression of the situation on the ship :thumbsup2 Deb, if you send me your email-address I'll send you an invitation to Dropbox as soon as I've uploaded our pix from the kayak-tour. Probably last weekend of October. Tink, thanks for the...

    We are in Panama City Beach now and the weather is absolutely perfect: 86°F, blue skies, a light breeze and wonderful white sand at the beach. You should only avoid to look behind you, as nearly ever stretch of the beach is covered with really ugly highrise condos. I guess our next cruise...

    Hallo Angela, es ist uns echt peinlich, aber wir konnten uns am nöchsten Morgen nicht mehr an Deine Kabinennummer erinnern - Das muß das Alter sein ;) Wir haben die Magazine aber dann nicht wegwerfen müssen, weil wir im Shop zwei Cast Members aus D getroffen haben. Sorry, daß das nicht...

    We repacked everything, put the DCL luggage tags on our 'checked' luggage and asked to be the first to have our breakfast served tomorrow. Our plan is to hit the road not later than 9am, preferrably a tad earlier. According to Google Maps the trip will take three hours. We intend to stop for a...

    As this is my 22nd visit (Anja's 16th) to the States and as we have visited 25 states so far we have of course had In-n-Out burgers and liked them very much. So we'd love to take you up on your kind offer. What we like with Five Guys is that you can customize your burger, I always have mine...

    Too many aliases here :p Mickeyfan is MnPostman's DW. It's time we all meet in the real world and start using real names! We bought the last items for the cruise: New sports sunglasses for both of us and Teva sandals for me. I'm not that comfortable with flip-flops when having to walk longer...

    Tropical weather update: Two named storms on the prowl, but neither looks like it will affect the route we're gonna be cruising on. Anja & I are so sore in our upper body that we decided to not do BodyPump tonight and instead ran on the beach in the morning. Doing more work with the barbells...

    Thanks for the info about the Navigator-App. I just instaled it on my iPhone and am looking forward to use it on the ship :thumbsup2 We spent a lazy day at the beach, just tanning, reading and listening to music. And we let our kite fly. There's a constant strong wind blowing that makes it...

    Fortunately we don't have any injuries, but just sore muscle tissue due to tough exercising. So I guess our pain is not as bad as your son's. So far it's just a great feeling of knowing that we really did a great workout. The first hour was weight-lifting with a lot of reps, the second was an...

    Tink, even though St Martin/St Marteen is half French and half Dutch you won't need any Euros. They accept Dollars everywhere, so there's no need to change any money. Anja & I will probably take some Euros with us, but only for the case that it would be cheaper to pay in Euros - which I highly...

    When we got back from the beach we had a mail in our inbox stating that a convertible was waiting for us, respectively that Alamo was even prepared to have it delivered to us. As we intended to drive to the St Augustine Outlets anyway, I mailed them that we would pick up the car ourselves. As of...

    We slept in a bit today and so we shortened our morning run to just 4 miles and sped it up a bit to be back in time for breakfast. As the wind was considerably weaker today we average a bit under 9:30 per mile and even did the last mile in 8:30 minutes. We still weren't quick enough, because...

    We Germans always have our rental cars insured with a german-style insurance. That's the reason why we make our rental agreements with German travel agencies. I have full coverage on the car up to €1,000,000 with no deductible. That's well below the standard we have back home, but way better...
