Bill - Did you get the same response I got from RCCL about entertainment that you have to check the app on boarding day to find out who and what will be going on? Pretty useless lazy answer, if you ask me. Trouble is I don't use my cell phone on cruises, so they hopefully will still have a paper Cruise Compass.
Glad you got a better night's sleep. I'm starting to hate getting up in the morning and find I'm staying in bed much longer. But them again, we usually don't go to bed until around midnight, 9:00 really isn't that bad. Gone are the days where 4-5 hours of sleep was all I needed. Of course, I usually do wake up briefly around daybreak these days. I told Bert that I hadn't seen so many mornings as daybreak arrived since I retired from teaching. Back in those days I was up by 5:15 everyday!!
Laurie called last night to say that she and her family are planning to come down for the day next Sunday, unless Idalia messes up their plans. Laurie is an insurance agent as well as an appraiser. If there's a lot of damage, she'll be on call at least 12-15 hours a day! That's what happened last year with Ft. Myers. This storm may cross right where they love, so she might not have electric and couldn't do her job working from home. Don't know how they'll handle that.
Karen - Not much we have to do here to get ready for this storm. Just need to take down a few plants from the baker's rack on the lanai that could be knocked down. At least we don't have to clear the lanai of all the furniture and plants. That's a good thing.
Kathie - Our generator is large enough to take care of the whole house. I like this one being away from the house as it won't be so dangerous like a built in one. Bert will just chain it down so it can't be stollen. That's the biggest problem here.
