High winds in Nevada and Utah have swept in huge amounts of tumbleweeds, causing disruption on streets and surrounding houses.

Just got back from Majorca for a week, had a lovely time and felt so well and chilled. Thought I'd have a change from Lanzarote and decided to have a package holiday instead of doing it all myself to lower my anxiety and be pampered.
All was lovely at the 4 star hotel but on the last night had an email from TUI notifying a change of airline to Go2Sky, a private Slovakian airline and to go to the airport as normal. My TUi boarding pass didn't work on my phone either way so got my pass when dropped of case. Palma aiirport was a nightmare and got past passport and security 15 mins before the gate closed so no time for a drink. Then they changed the gate number (no notification on the TUIapp, just lucky I went to check the board again) and everyone had to dash to the other end of the airport.
No TUi reps in sight, might as well do it yourself anyway and alot cheaper. Plus I can go back to the same hotel and book direct or through booking.com

Another reason not to fly  .   Stress like that at either end of a break can negate any pleasure.  Were the Crew OK once boarded?

Cruise  Dierdre cruise

No jaypo no - several passengers are affected by a severe stomach bug on a couple of cruise ships

I declared taking HRT on my annual insurance.  It didn't affect the price.

Enjoy Amsterdam! It's a great place for a few days; walkable, lots to see and do and some lovely day trips (Delft and Haarlem (see the Corrie Ten Boom house which has a similar, but lesser know, story to Anne Frank's house).

That's nothing new tbh but the media like getting stuck into cruise ships at the minute, I've cruised for years and I think songbird even longer than me and we've never had it, oh no,have I jinxed it now??

[CLKD]

Probably

And now the death on a flight caught in turbulence last night 

[littleminnie]

I assume he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. I always keep mine on in case of turbulence.

[CLKD]

He is reported as having died from a heart attack.

Apparently a flight can encounter turbulence without warning.  I would certainly have my important documents about my person ...... however, am unlikely to ever step into a plane !

Yep, nothing new. I’ve been cruising for 30 years and 🤞 have never had a problem. It won’t stop me, that’s for sure 

[CLKD]

Still doesn't encourage me to go very far.

I assume he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. I always keep mine on in case of turbulence.

Apparently the plane dropped 6,000 feet and all those with seatbelt not fastened flew up head first into the storage compartment and lights, aircon and stuff above. There were alot of head injuries. I always keep my belt fastened loosely.

The crew were fine and everything as usual on board, just the chaos at the airport.

[CLKD]

That's good.  Next break will be to ?
