  1. Great advice, which I have accepted for April 2026. Looking forward to it!
  2. Gift wrapped invitation With a fucking bow!
  3. Total ban on marketing and sale of e-cigarettes (broadly defined) containing “any cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, kava, mushrooms, tianeptine, or any derivatives of those substances.”
  4. Will be about 2 hours away for a family reunion that weekend. If I can score tickets, I (and tOSU in-law) will be there.
  5. I’m down to my last few tomatoes. It’s been a pretty good year.
  6. Their friends have been on domestic cruises (and at younger ages) - no alcohol.
  7. Bad strategy. These will be among the least desirable cruises out of Galveston or South Florida. My current focus is on convincing daughter it is not a good plan.
  8. I am working on daughter. She is away for the summer as a camp counselor and I am texting her screenshots of comments here. She thinks you bastards are a hoot. Hopefully, she isn't savvy enough to google quotes and ID both Surly and Tonesky. I am developing some gravity towards one or two Campania base locations, with opportunities for day trips to Pompeii/Herculaneum and Paestum.
  9. Thanks, this validates my initial sense that IF we choose to cruise, Virgin Mediterranean seems the best option. I understand that the average passenger is older, but what about 18-21 year olds? If we do this, will there likely be young adults my kids can latch on to, or will they be hanging with geezers like their parents?
  10. You are correct that their answer to "what is your dream graduation gift vacation" likely does not include parents, but too fucking bad. As for Galveston party cruise, son would hate it and none would allow alcohol to under 21 age kids. But, thinking about the greater issue, i suspect daughter (primary driver of cruise, and likely driven by desire not to be dragged on hikes, etc. every day by dad) would be happy to spend 7-10 days in a couple of places in the Sorrento/Amalfi area, with iron clad guarantee that (1) I will not over plan, (2) many chill days will be baked in, and (3) she can opt out and go to the beach as desired.
  11. Added to the captures I am texting my daughter (currently camp counseling), who is the primary driver of “party at sea .”
  12. I don’t want to be surrounded by old people! The best part of being old ass parents is all the (now) 50 year olds we befriended when our kids were in daycare/kindergarten.
  13. Interesting. Was not even on my radar. That is exactly the purpose of my post. That, and to find out which section at Kyle Field is good to sit in.
  14. Until this (kids' graduation request) came up, the only cruise wife and I have talked about - which we still would like to do - is a barge float in France. That can be as small as 3 or 4 couples, with the possibility of the other couples including friends. Bike villages and wineries by day, and eat/drink chef prepared meals on deck in the evening.
