BUT growing up, I couldn't wait to go swimming in the lake and sometimes there would still be a bit of ice on the edge of the lake. But hey once cold you cant get colder so why not 🤣🤣🤣 Mostly I was asking why we couldn't bring home a bear??? 🤣 They're not as soft as expected though. Brown bears are the softest of the bunch. OMG! ICE. In. the. WATER???? Oh no - that is not for a warm, summer-loving girl like me! I can't even imagine..... 😱 🥶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 OOOohhh, we've landed in NYC - that's close to home! I'd love to go shopping, sounds like fun! First I'm hungry, how about some breakfast? Is it warm enough for a swim in the pool, it seems like a while since I've done that! 🏊♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Brrr.... I can't believe how cold that water was! It's a good thing we had @Tracy with us to give us courage. And the ship's sauna afterwards helped too, of course. I think I saw a polar bear looking longingly at the sauna, too. Too bad we decided to be good SG's and not bring him on board. Oooh.... shopping in NYC! Count me in! But first I'll join everyone for breakfast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Captain April is amazing! I am sure she can get tickets. Knowing our group it will be speeding tickets..... but I am sure Captain April can handle those too 🤣🤣🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatlady Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 NYC here we come. Thanks to the magic of SG we can see it all...lets go to Central Park too. Maybe the ferry over to see the Statue of Liberty, China town too so we can grab street food, I'd like to stop in the garment district to go back to the fabric dealers. Lets go to Time Square too. I'd like to go the World Trade memorial too I have not been back to that area since the collapse. So much to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 That's a great photo, April! And, Debby has such wonderful ideas for things to do - we'd better start out early so we can do them all. Maybe if we're kept busy there will be no shenanigans or any ScrapGirls getting into trouble? Hmmmmmmmm..... I do not want to have to deal with the New York City Police or have to make a quick getaway! 😱 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope we have to bad SG's today. Put on your walking shoes everyone!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I was born there but haven't been back in a while so this trip is great fun! I'm enjoying seeing all the sights with my SG friends, and, so far, everyone is behaving..... I think. At least I haven't seen anyone hanging out of a tall building! 😮 Yay for Captain April getting us show tickets, too! Meanwhile, here's my Canada-NYC page.

Tracy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I cant believe our world tour is coming to an end already. What a fun trip @April Showers Thank you so much for hosting the great trip! As soon as I saw the Canada stop and polar bear, I knew exactly what I wanted to scrap. Adding the extra photo threw me for a loop but I think it came out okay. My just shy of 5'4" Grandpa was fearless and I wish I had listened more to his stories. @MariJ I did tell you I was bringing a bear home 🤣🤣🤣 Dont worry, he doesn't bite. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatlady Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Wow that seemed like a very quick trip. Thank you April for the wonderful trip. Looks like we have all the original travelers so no one was left behind in jail . So lets party and share our NYC fun adventures. I really liked seeing the city it has been a few years since I have been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Sorry I was unable to finish the tour with you all. I had to fly home on family business. ( this is not real - but I am busy with my volunteer work and my crafts I sell as it is coming on warmer weather so I needed to get lots of baby flip flops made.) Thankyou @April Showers April for being our wonderful tour guide. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
