Year 3 Day 153 – “Living the Dream”. Monday, 10/02/2023. Day 2 O’Sun ocean front Avon, NC vacation. No sunrise this morning to see.
We actually washed the sliding glass door so we would have a nice clear view of the ocean. The neighbor’s wife saw Steve cleaning our door and a few minutes later her husband is out cleaning their door. The waves are huge here right now. Storms out in the ocean are churning things up.
We are all learning to play Mancala. Justin beat me last night. I didn’t realize that it was a strategy game. Last night I woke up thinking about Mancala strategy. This morning first thing I ask Justin to play. Yes, I won. If you haven’t played Mancala, try it. It is really fun.
Bobi is doing Diamond Art or challenging everyone to a game of pool.
Another negative on this house are the little – ha – HUGE – Water bugs/roaches!
Easy quick unhealthy lunch is the beach vacation standard.
At home the cats and birds/bees are taking over.
Today’s thoughts to ponder.
Today’s product recommendations are cruising essentials (paid links): 1) It is so nice not to have to worry about stapling your luggage tags to your luggage handles and to have them rip off. We have these plastic holders on our luggage and love them. We use them for Royal Caribbean cruises and also fold the MSC tags to fit in them when we travel with MSC cruise lines.

Here’s a link to it: https://amzn.to/3EO2Y4F 4) Packing cubes – I can’t say enough about them. I would never go on vacation without them again. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/3Rxx8AA 5) You have to have a small purse for getting off at ports or for carrying a few things with you around the ship. Great for when you have no pockets to carry the cell phone. This one is beautiful. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/3ETJNpS 6) Room Thermometer- I leave one of these packed in my bag. The temperature fluctuates so much, and I like to try and keep my room at a stable temperature. This keeps me honest with myself. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/46tNoXH
