Hi Nancy & Mike. My husband and I have just returned from a 2 week Mediterranean cruise. I’m not sure if you are visiting Gibraltar at any point but I immediately thought of you Nancy as there is a small stand of Christmas decorations in the terminal building. Also, we visited Rome but sadly we became the victims of pick pockets on the metro. We had been so vigilant all day, 2 jostled my disabled husband and 2 cornered me, I tried my best to get to him and any thoughts of protecting my bad were gone. We lost money and our cruise cards so getting back on ship was an education. Fortunately we weren’t hurt just very shaken and angry. I know this can happen anywhere and I’m sure you are vigilant wherever you go. I’m so enjoying your videos, they are so informative and honest. Looking forward to the rest of your journey. Love to you both. 🇬🇧
I am so sorry to hear that. Happened to you. That’s horrible. Mike and I tried to be very diligent and aware of our surroundings when we’re out and about. Also, we were at Gibraltar a couple of weeks ago.
Nagasaki video was soooo special to watch, yes the world's saddest past and place, but you showed how happiness, love in the beauty of life can recover in showing the mountain view The World's Best Panorama View magnificent, breathtaking, spectacular the artistic ability to be able to sculpture rose ice creams the modern varied modes of transport available Peace Park is so beautiful to see, many countries of the world sending life size sculptures very, very beautiful please pray for world peace
I am glad to see you do what we do on cruises which is to combine excursions that are better done through the cruise line or another operator with exploring on your own in places where that is easy to do with some research on your part.
We have Daiso in the States! Most of them are in the western states but there are a few in Texas and New York. Also, as soon as you walked into the "charming, happy" shop in Chinatown I knew it had to be a Studio Ghibli store. That's a Japanese animation studio known for lovely, often fantastical, family-friendly movies like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. If and when I make a trip to Japan I will have to have a special "Ghibli merch" budget set aside for just such an occasion!
Something about the beauty and peace of making an ice cream rose juxtaposed with the horrors of what happened there got me 😭. I could almost feel the peace emanating. The Japanese culture is just so beautiful. Also, hi from New Mexico!!! Didn’t know you once lived here too!!
Wow, what a beautiful and moving tour. I am amazed at all of the pro tips: did RCCL share these or did you discover these with your excursion research? Sorry I ask so many questions, I find these videos not only entertaining but extremely fascinating! Thank for sharing with us!!! -Susan
Hello Mike and Nancy thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences with us...i actually just went to a Daiso store that they just opened here in Phoenix....very interesting store❤❤❤you bith look great and relaxed..this world cruise really is what you 2 enjoy 😉 😀
Hi, from NZ, l like others are really enjoy and what is more apricate the content and effort you guys are doing in these videos, enjoy this time and keep travelling safe.
I've been following you since the beginning of your World Cruise and have enjoyed every one of your videos. I just came back from a two week Greece and Turkey cruise and am catching up on your channel. You have really gotten me interested in visiting Japan. By the way Nancy, I love your paperclip necklace. I've been wanting one for myself! Did you buy it on your travels? I don't think I've seen it before!! Keep up the great work and keep enjoying your "Empty Nest" life.
Thanks so much. We have just finished grease yesterday and are in Morocco today. The necklace came from TJ Maxx purchased before the cruise. Thanks so much for following along with us. We appreciate you.
We just had that “dollar store” open here in San Antonio. I tried to go the other day, but there is still a line to get in. At 100 degrees it is too hot to stand outside to get in.
Some of our good friends, who have family that used to live in japan, live in San Antonio and they're the ones that told us about the Daiso store we'll have to let them know there is one there now
LOL As a retired teacher of 40 years.....I hated the stories in our reader that had origami projects!!!I cant do it I cant!!!!!But I had a parent Mrs We who was an expert and made amazing things with her kids! Fortunately I had all 3 of her kids so she covered 3 or 4 years of origami nightmares!
I understand your frustration. We’ve actually shot the ship tour twice and have never been happy with it. We’ve just run into various snafu’s. We are definitely on the ship.
