    Hey Don!!! My dad actually lives in Lieutenant Colonel James H Harvey's house right now. The town where he grew up in honored him a few years ago. I work at a hotel in PA where he has stayed. I have pictures with him and my dad has pictures with him at his house. It was such an honor to get to meet him and sit with him and talk to him. I will always remember getting to speak to him and being such a beautiful soul. HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO HIM!!!

      History is only history if people are interested in it. It is up to historical stories/people to be interesting enough or have something to do with “today’s times” to keep it spoken about. Some history is meant to be forgotten. If no one alive thinks of it then it isn’t important to them their lives or their history. Why live in the past we only get 80 years of life if we are lucky and I don’t waste one second thinking of history that never entered my life. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I like your videos of cruising. Let tell your viewers about my last cruise. My partner and I departed Perth, Western Australia in mid March this year bound for Brisbane , Queensland . Four days into the cruise both my partner and I had Covid and were isolated in our cabin for 6 days. We had great room service for our meals and drinks in our cabin. Sat on the balcony with a glass of wine and enjoyed the scenery along the coast. The service was excellent, for food was good and we enjoyed the time together. This cruise was on the Coral Princess. When out of our cabin we enjoyed the entertainment, music and Bars/lounges, dancing and overall, a very good experience. I have watched every movie/documentary about the Tuskegee airmen and their exploits. cheers to all.

    Hey Don. Nice of Princess to honor Tuskegee airman and acknowledge him on his 100th birthday. My brain 🧠 💡 is not understanding why they were denied boarding. They payed regular price and denied. So those rooms are now available and the ship is leaving 500 ppl short? 🤷🏻‍♀️.

    Well, I booked a cruise directly from Royal, and were denied boarding. When I was booking it, I told them my baby doesn't have a passport yet, she assured me that the birth certificate is enough and I booked that cruise 3 days prior to boarding. But they told us at the port, we cannot go without baby's passport. She basically lied to me, just to sell us that cruise and Royal refused to refund us. I don't know what to do

Interestingly enough, my first cruise was actually a themed cruise booked through a third party on a Carnival ship. I'm grateful I got what I paid for as I had to fly to the cruise port. I hope the 500 passengers can find some recourse to recoup their loses.
