So...There I was*...In beautiful Sydney Australia, on board the Royal Carribbean's Ovation of the Seeas on our last day of Mrs' J's well planned/excellently executed Family Vacation

We've been on board for 15 days. Hasn't seemed that long, nor was it odious. The usual Dweeb 14-15 YO's who think it's cool to walk down the hallways in the middle, forcing the other passengers to dodge out ot their way. Until, one of them, whom you might be familiar with simply lower's a shoulder and turns slightly to form a wedge to move them to a side of the hall.
Never had to do that more than once. Didn't realize I had a ship's officer behind me one time. Went through my routine, kid flinched and got out of the way. I got to the end of the passage way, where I was thanked by the officer that had observed the encounter.
Punks!
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, the trip was fun. The Family had a great time, the grand kids got to know each other (3YO, 2YO, and 1YO) and we spent a lot of time telling old family war stories as well as new ones.
Great time was had by all.
More to follow, as the excursions were outstanding.
Peace Out, y'all!
Oh and by the way, anybody know an easy way to convert a posting on Sarge's Blog with the program's time code set to Eastern US time zone, but you are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean traveling Eastword at 500+KPH and therefore your iPad timezone changes every hour or two, or what time it will be when this needs to go live at some time the following morning. But, where in the world will you be at that time.
My head started aching, very early, very sharply and with a drumming feeling that would put one of Ringo Starr's Drum riffs to shame.
So...My good friends, I ran up the white flag, texted Sarge sometime Sunday/Monday evening/morning and surrendered. Most of my problems disappeared while sitting at a desk in my office, at home with a glass of recuperative white whine nearby.
See you next Monday!
*Yeah, I know, an old timey introduction, but. It fills the bill on this series of tales. I'm open to suggestions!
Nice report, thank you. The time zone thing is interesting. Maybe set your device so it doesn't automatically update to the time zone that you're in?
ReplyDeleteAnon,
DeleteYeah, I think there were two programs in action. The airline’s program was designed to display web pages to view. Blogger is expecting web pages to format and convert the code to display the blog post. I think the two were incompatible. Fortunately ready ab
Nd willing and things worked out.
Juvat
Huzzah! You have returned!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, what worked for me is being in the time zone in question and seeing when my other posts would "posts" (1600 in Vietnam, as it turned out).
Good to hear juvat, glad you folks had a enjoyable time. Yeesh.........five THOUSAND capacity plus crew......a little too many for this old fart, give me the ships that cruise rivers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good trip.
ReplyDeleteI bumped your post from Wednesday to Tuesday. Why? Because I can.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home in one piece!
Whut?! No kneeknockers?!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. While I haven't posted from overseas, would just keeping one watch on local Fredericksburg time do the trick? Or, just draft it and let Sarge publish it! Looking forward to the excursion tales.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting report and conundrum but to be honest, I blog alone.....I answer to no man!!!!!! Glad you had a good trip.
ReplyDeleteHow do you exist without minions? (All the world wonders ...)
