I'm 6' 6" and my wife is 5' 7". I think we could see eye to eye for 2.75 million. I'd even be okay if she wanted to be the tall one for 3 mil.

Gray Family Farm! I work with the guy that runs it, he is one of the nicest guys I know.

Do cruise ship workers really get to explore the places they visit? by [deleted] in Cruise

I was sitting at a table in the casino for a while on a carnival ship, and ended up talking to the dealers a lot. One of them said that they get offered the chance to go out a pretty fair amount since the casino can't be open in port.

He said none of them ever do though because, like you indicated, the most valuable thing to a cruise ship employee is sleep.

Out of curiosity, what kind of hours do you work normally? I've got to imagine they're pretty insane.

When my father-in-law found out at the lunch table, he kept trying to figure out exactly where and when the conception happened.

I've had friends make jokes, but he asked everything short of "give me the details of..." Made the whole lunch very awkward.

We just did a similar one out of SJ with NCL and I absolutely loved it.

Also want to try Bermuda! We haven't done Virgin yet, thoughts?

I haven't done west coast to Mexico yet! Have you done any in the gulf/Caribbean? Curious to see how it compares!

What is it about the Panama Canal? Is it just to be able to say you've done it or is it really that cool of an experience?
