OFF TOPIC

In your backyard in league city, Texas.. Going on a Disney cruise out of Galveston. Nice area. If I had more time I would get in touch with you and have coffee or something. Maybe next time

Btw, Houston is huge .

Anyway, probably will not be able to reply on this thread as I will be on the boat.

So take everyone

Here's the funny thing, Robert. I've been waiting literally years to say this...

Mark doesn't exist. He's a figment of Claude's and my imaginations. We trade off manning the account. We needed an outlet for ridiculous puns that we wouldn't want associated with our own names.

There.

I said.

It's like a Claude-sized weight off my shoulders.

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

Ever since I gave my made up characters, Claude & Dan an Autonomous A.I. upgrade, they have been getting to thinking that they were real people. I apologize for the inconvenience caused and their misbehaviors. Kurt and I are working feverishly to correct the programming.

The Cruise exceeded ALL my expectations. Had a wonderful time ,and we plan to do it again. Ate way too much as you could eat as much as you wanted for free which is pretty standard anymore..

I would say the most fun things for me were the Broadway style musicals, Just way over the top. And the late night adults only karaoke and trivia. Good stuff. Highly recommend the Cruise with anyone who has teenagers or younger.

Or even for grown single adults as they have something for everybody

Did you go on many excursions, see the Mayan Ruins in Belize for example, or loaf around on the ship? I liked the food on RC and the late night shows were great. I expect you got to see a few Disney movies. Of course, the Casino was always the main evening draw for me and tax free. Lost some, won some, had a lot of fun doing it. I'm a slot fanatic. Table games not for me.

Perhaps you might give Royal Caribbean a go next time. The basic balcony cabins were really good. A lot of rides and stuff for the kids.
