T Stands For Cruising!

Psalms 37:4-5 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."


Hello blog followers and T Gang!  I have been gone for a couple of weeks.  I did think I was pretty smart and scheduled one post for while I was "at sea", but then could not link it to the T Party or Tag Tuesday, and of course could not comment from my iPad!  I don't know why, but I can comment from my iPad on Altered Book Lover.  So, thank you to Elizabeth who linked my blog post to T Stands For Tuesday.  I tried to comment on Tag Tuesday, but couldn't.  It was really frustrating. You know, I used to be able to do a post to my blog from my iPad and can't do that now.  I think this is all to do with Blogger!  Today when I got on, I had a message that beginning in March, there will be a lot more changes.  I may not be blogging anymore!  I like blogger because it is free.  

Ok, enough whining!  I had a wonderful 15 day Hawaiian cruise! I won't share it all in one post! But here is a photo of some of the wonderful  memorabilia I brought home.  It will used it in my scrapbooking!  I even attended crafting classes on board!



 Sharing the menu from the night we left Maui. 




Our view from our dinner table that night.  We had just left Maui, where we had seen whales all day.  We even saw several real close to the ship from our window while we ate!  What a show they put on!




And for Elizabeth's T Stands For Tuesday, here is a photo of our water at our meal. First  I had the Black Tiger Prawn!  Then I had this scrumptious Shrimp Bisque, before my wonderful Maaine Lobster Tail main dish.  Hubby had the steak. Then we both had the Fudge Obsession!  After two weeks on this floating city, with so many wonderful food choices, we will have to eat less for a while!

Happy T Day!  More Cruise and food photos next week!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Sharon, wondered where you had disappeared too, looks lovely, our GS are over there at the moment enjoying their half term break.
Food looks amazing, it’s so hard to resist.
I have managed to comment from my iPad, some blog s block me out but not sure that’s due to the iPad, as for the blog changes, a kind lady on WOYWW put a blog post about how to change the settings which was very helpful,

Welcome back. The cruise sounds wonderful and food looks very appetizing.

Shame about your I-pad and commenting I always use my lap top as it seems easier than the I-pod or my phone.

Have a very happy T Day

Love Chrissie xx

First, no problem linking you. I understand security. Second, I really want to know what changes are coming to Blogger in March. I couldn't find anything and spent nearly 30 minutes looking when I could be sleeping.

Third, I am so glad you enjoyed your trip. I was really impressed with the menu. I would have been happy to go with you (grin), but I would need someone to look after the boys. This must have been a fabulous trip and seeing whales alongside the ship must have been awesome. I would LOVE to take a trip at sea. This and the food. Thanks for sharing this voyage and souvenirs with us, along with your meals and water for T this Tuesday, dear.

Please don't quit blogger. I like visiting your site here. I'm glad you had a nice vacation on the cruise ship. I like the style of that tourist map on the left side of your first photo. I collect them from my hometown area, whenever I find them, just because I like the way they look. Welcome back and Happy T-Day!

I'd look forward to hearing that Blogger will continue to support and improve their blogging platform. It works for me, and I hope it doesn't go the way of Google+ :( I only work on it through my computer, though, and that still works well.

Your vacation cruise sounds wonderful! Happy T Tuesday!

Lisca said...

Wow! Lucky you! A Hawaian cruise! I am already looking forward to seeing the places you have been to. The menu looks very scrumptious, if a bit expensive. It is obviously not included in the price of the cruise.
How amazing that you have seen whales!
I have problems blogging from my ipad. It's a nightmare. I don't seem to be able to scroll up or down. And my comments don't seem to arrive or at least aren't visible. I have now taken to commenting on my desk top. We are away all of Tuesday, so it means all my comments arrive a day late, but better late than never.
I will try and find out who this lady is on WOYWW that left some tips about the changes.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

Wow, you cruise sounds and looks amazing! The views and menu choice is fabulous and I'm glad that you had such a wonderful time 😁. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your travels - Happy T Day! J 😊 x

Krisha said...

WOW! I've always wanted to go to Hawaii............and I LOVE cruises! I'm so green right now LOL! Looking forward to MORE cruise photos
Happy T-day and welcome home!

Kate Yetter said...

Wow! I am looking forward to seeing your photos from Hawaii! How fun that you were able to take craft classes. The food sounds delicious!!!!
I have never liked Blogger. Wordpress is free and their platform is much easier to navigate. I would give them a try. I used to write all my posts on my phone believe it or not. It took a lot of time as the keyboard was different but at least it was possible using Wordpress. Hope you find something that works for you. We would miss you at Tea Day!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

This what was on page where I go to post. I have no idea what it means!

Hawaii is our favorite place that we've ever been to, Sharon. Tahiti is on the bucket list ;-) Craft classes on board makes it even better. Sort of a "busman's holiday" (grin).

On our whale watching trip off Maui, we saw dolphins cavorting off the port side ... but no whales :-( Then the dolphins disappeared underwater. Next thing we knew, a whale leapt over the bow of the ship while the dolphins dove under it. We were awestruck and completely soaked!

What a wonderful looking meal you had to celebrate a day of whale-watching. It's truly an unforgettable experience.

Happy T-day! Eileen xx
