    Better to live dangerously, than to not live at all!
    All the best going forward, without too much worry…

    It is a delight to follow your adventurous lives, D and L. Thank you! As to the c-@%#&, hmmmmm, stay out on deck as much as possible and breathe in the fresh salt air (and throw up overboard? heehwawww)?! What are the air temps now? I like Carol’s questions above, too. (If this posts twice, mea culpa. Just me resetting wordpress password and lost the first comment attempt.)

    Yikes. Please stay safe, my friends. I am now a certified breath coach and have learned the benefits of NASAL BREATHING versus MOUTH BREATHING. Noses are for breathing, mouths are for eating. The “breath community” has been musing that NASAL BREATHING, with the natural nasal filters, and controlling humidity and temperature, may actually help limit the spread of Covid by stopping it in its tracks at the nose. Who know, but it might be worth a try, even masked. It takes a bit of getting used to but, what the heck? If your nose is stuffy, try holding your nose and breathe for about 30 seconds while walking around— the increase in carbon dioxide will open the passages quite easily (unless you are very ill). Thinking of you! ❤️

    Hello, CLD:

    How quick & easy was it to restore a deleted reservation record?

    Given that even fully-vaccinated people may transmit Covid-19, was Oceania negligent in failing to test prior to boarding?

    Do the Oceania Conditions of Carriage …

    [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.oceaniacruises.com/Documents/Legal/13534/UK_TicketContract-062514.pdf&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj9uOmTh9n8AhW0EFkFHS93AM4QFnoECAIQAg&usg=AOvVaw1L1oemH9mEeNReajVziyR8]

    … set Covid-19 criteria for mandatory disembarcation of officers, crew or passengers at the next port of call? (As they say in the auto industry, “Your mileage may vary.”)

    Now that I think of it, Covid on a cruise ship was one of the first big awarenesses of this virus and it was comforting to know that at least we’ll be avoiding that situation. Ha! But that was then, and now you are prepared. Have you seen any marine life, what are the menu offerings, is the pool heated, how much of the day is spent on deck, did you play bridge before you left or learning onboard, please take us with you on one of your exercise walks, on an on. Reading your blog is a weekly highlight, thank you both for sharing your trip.
