  1. I did one of those Carnival Cruises to the Bahamas over the last half century.. It was excellent but perhaps the most memorable bit of all was going through US Immigration at 6.30 am on Christmas morning!

    We had eaten so much on the Bahamas cruise that for Christmas lunch we just had a conch salad – and no pud.

  2. Looks like on-site testing will become a thing. I can’t see COVID going away anytime soon. Nobody wants to stop their holiday to go off and get a test done.
