Setup my 4 x 4 and transplanted 3 plants. This round of kids is a work in progress, big one is lucky to be alive.. The smaller ones have been living in seedling mix with a little of this and a little of that. Looking forward to seeing how they respond to FFOF and some nutrients. Now lunch and soon a rainy walk with my other half.

I've been looking at vacations on-line and dreaming of sun all afternoon. Gloomy AF here too and another 3.5 hours til lights on 8-) I'm looking at cruises, but who knows when they will sail again, or when it will be semi safe. I've only been on one in 2019 but it was awesome...from NYC to Bermuda for a week in a balcony room of a super ship, with the spa package...soooo relaxing!! I was booked for another last March...was....

I'd really love to do Hawaii, and sail around all the islands there. That's a pricey one but you only live once and it's on my bucket list!! Gloomy day dreaming, in front of a toasty fire, stoned AF. :bigjoint:

My parents went to Canada and cruised back to Australia via most of the Pacific Island’s. They said Hawaii was amazing.
They love cruising they used to go on a cruise every 18 months but covid fucked that.
I went on a small one not for me maybe in 15 years when the kids are old enough and not invited lol

Wait, there's more coming? I forgot to look, just assumed it was going to be a wonderful year.
Just looked, couple days of snow showers and low 20's at night >:(
I let the dog out several times. Enough winter wonderland for me. Burped more jars, late, than I can count without taking my shoes off. Although practicing 20, 21 for the past few days?? Maybe hope.

Enjoying prettier snow of sorts. Northern Lights. 002.jpg001.jpg

I go the other direction, across the Cabot Straits to Channel-Port aux Basques in Newfoundland.

Beautiful, and I would definitely love to go there too...That would be a nice one from NY, and i actually am looking at one late summer. I've never been to Canada....very close though, in Niagara Falls, NY

I've never wanted to go on a cruise, I'd rather fly to where I want to be and go out on a fishing boat when I get there.
That's why I bought a truck and camper and started driving down Baja, beach camping. We could take our dogs along and they loved it. and we would rent boats as we hit towns to fish. Or took our own kayaks...Hella good times

My associates all recommend cruises and say that once and you are hooked. I'd rather go to places and have a local experience. In Oahu, they serve Haole pizza (pineapple and ham). On Maui's north shore, kids 6 years of age have a surf contest in the ocean. Meanwhile, kids at the resort are terrified just listening to the waves crashing on the jetty. If you backpack, expenses can be quite manageable. I believe the cruise ship around Hawaii is a small one. When in Honolulu, a last minute cruise could be less than staying in a hotel.

That's probably a much safer bet overall. A cruise can be risky, in many ways. I only did the one and it was perfect weather, but I imagine one bad storm would cure me of ever wanting to go again. We were docked in the Bermuda's for 3 days so that was great, and people were taking fishing boats from there. Plus I went with over 20 friends so it was cool, and it was one of those mega ships, the Norwegian Escape. Something like 7,000 people with crew!

Years ago one of my co-workers and his wife went on an anniversary cruse out of florida. They flew from Cali and the flight was full of other couples going on the same boat. They met a couple on the flight and agreed they would re-connect on the boat. Well they said the boat was so huge they never saw them again until the return flight.....lol

The trip to Atlantic Canada can go thru Portland to Nova Scotia on high speed catamaran, then 450 miles to the next ship to Newfoundland, 2 short boat rides.
Or I can drive 800 miles to the Cabot Straits,then crash at the ferry terminal for the midnight boat,that is the party boat trip.
