I flew without a new ID thing.  The consequence was a frumpy look.  I'll take it.

This used to be a regular state park, but now they charge to enter, we don't go any more.  The park has some decent aspects.

Heading to Orlando on Monday. Will spend a few days there visiting friends who live there (will spend one day at Universal) then driving down to Ft Lauderdale to take a western caribbean cruise.  Been to all the ports many times, but friends who live in New Jersey invited us and we only see them once a year or so.

Before I discovered we could drop the "Free Booze Package" at considerable savings, we would sit at a bar for a "while" and drink whatevers, gin and tonics mostly, and I never got even a slight buzz.

I mainly drink brown water (ultra) but always tip.my bartenders.  We make friends with the ones we like and  treat them very well.  In fact we are actually Facebook friends with a number of them and talk to them regularly off the ship. If we are on a ship they are on we find out which bar they are at.

We always use only one cruise line and yeah, "they" know us.

We 're cruisin' for a bruisin' in October out of Rome.  My wife is excited about it.  No beverage package.

We figure it's about the same price as trying to rent a car and drive around, maybe cheaper, and you unpack and repack once.
