Year 3 Day 182 – “Living the Dream”. Tuesday, 10/31/2023. Clifty Hill 2 – Happy Halloween!! Hope all the little ghosts, goblins, witches, and fairies have a great day celebrating.
Today we started the final sheathing of the attic area. It is a cold morning. What a drastic change in temperature from yesterday. Low 30’s in the morning and the day ended in the high 40’s. Thank goodness it was sunny with not a lot of wind. Tomorrow will be colder. The metal ladder sucks all the heat out of your hands.
There are no trick or treaters here in KY farmland. I long for a nice town or development to join in all the Halloween festivities and I miss seeing my grandkids dressed up. I love seeing pictures though.
Gratuities for Royal Caribbean cruises as of 11/11/2023 will increase to $18.00 per night per person from $16.00 per night per person. Prices are escalating on everything. Inflation-inflation-inflation
No pondering thoughts today.
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
