Get home safely G-Man.

Princess Island Princess.

Having a beer in Falmouth, Jamaica at the ultimate tourist trap, Margaritaville. Mrs. Goose doesn't want to leave the fenced in shopping center by the dock, so this is the only open bar at 10:30 on a Sunday morning I will resume my travel posts after we get back on Wednesday. Internet on ship too slow and expensive

Happy Birthday, guys!

Our stop in Cayman Islands was cancelled. Waves too choppy to tender safely. So we left early and are headed for Columbia. Wish I had something interesting or exciting to share, but really don't. We've just been hanging out eating, drinking, reading and playing trivia. Lot's of old people on this cruise. I'm probably in the bottom 10% age-wise. Will have some good pics and stories after Columbia on Wednesday.

@Biz-R-OWorld OK Biz, some pics of boats, but no hoes. Just some pics of the other boats as we were leaving the port, and of our room. Nothing else exciting so far. We did win a bottle of wine at name that tune trivia last night.

pm sent. My wife thinks the name goofster is more appropriate.

We are on the boat . . . .

We board today. I will take some pics from the ship. Cooler today, it will only hit a high of 78.

Was actually lunch on Friday. Seafood salad at Umberto's of Long Island in Ft. Lauderdale. After dinner dessert at my cousin's house, some dairy free ice cream cake.

Day 5 (1/18) Had a nice day visiting extended family in Ft. Lauderdale. Had lunch at a good Italian restaurant, Umberto's of Long Island, with the elderly widowed husband of my first cousin once removed on my father's side. Sheesh, at least I think I got it right. He told me stories of things that happened before I was born. For dinner, met my elderly first cousin once removed on my mother's side and his wife at Islamorada Fish Company, which is owned by and attached to the Bass Pro Outdoor World. The food quality was poor, unfortunately. He also got to tell me stories from when before I was born and I got to practice my French with his wife. Cruised the Bass Pro store before dinner. Nice store with nice displays, but there idea of "clearance" is 33% off. I could have bought a fishing hat for $4, but passed as I just bought one the night before.

Thanks, Larry. We will hit that place for lunch when we transfer from Ft. Meyers to St. Petersburg. @Stay at home Nomad would you and your wife care to have lunch with me and mine on Friday Feb 8 at the Crows Nest?

Day 4 (1/17) Only a half day's drive from Daytona Beach to Fort Lauderdale. Traffic is crazy on the 95. You have to go 10+ miles above the speed limit just to avoid getting rammed from behind. Had a nice breakfast at Monkey Morning Cafe in Daytona and dinner at Nabu American Fusion Buffet in Fort Lauderdale (in What's for dinner thread). South Florida is a little more crowded from what we remember 7-8 years ago.

Nabu American Fusion Buffet in Ft. Lauderdale. Met my wife's cousin and SO for dinner. For an asian buffet, not a bad value at all. I went off the keto wagon early to hit the dessert bar

A little monkey business in the morning at the Monkey Morning Cafe in Daytona Beach. Had the loaded omelette with sausage gravy. Very veteran friendly place with a lot of character. They had a vintage KISS lunchbox that looked cool.

So, I guess it's not this one then

You're not sending me to a brothel, are you?

We are in road travel mode, so playing it safe with restaurants that are near the exits. After the cruise, when we are in cities for 4-5 days at a time, we can be more adventurous. Hope to have some stone crabs soon. After the cruise, we will be in Naples, Ft. Myers, St. Petersburg, St. Augustine and Savannah, GA. Any recommendations?

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Daytona Beach. Chips and queso con carne for app (no pic) and meatloaf with gravy and cheddar broccoli casserole for dinner. Their decaf coffee was really good.

Day 3 (1/16) Drove from Fayetteville, NC to Daytona Beach today. Had a good lunch at Shoney's. I tell ya, South Carolina has the friendliest and most polite people you will ever meet. But driving through it on I-95 is monotonous and boring. The drive through Georgia was uneventful. Then we drove into sunny Florida where everybody is going 10+ miles over the speed limit of 70, and no one's turn signals are working. Mrs. Goose let me drive for most of that action. Made it to Daytona Beach and drove by the race track. After checking into the hotel, we had dinner at a restaurant called Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen Homestyle comfort food. But the attention grabber on the menu was their signature drink called "The Painkiller". Limit 2 per person. Mrs. Goose had to have one. She let me have a taste.

Very sorry for your loss, Cynthia.

When you have dainty little feet like that, you can slip into those fancy label shoes. I'm a New Balance 4E type of guy, myself.

I tell that to my wife all the time.

get checked out for hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. if you hate going to doctors, buy a cheap diabetic blood sugar testing kit at at drug store. take you blood sugar first thing in the morning for a few days. If it's below 90, you might have an issue. I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv.
