I second this! :)

Thought about her today. This place lacks a certain spark when shes not here, not that you all arent sparkly, too.

I agree. Have thought about Mtn several times lately and wished her a happy time on her trip.

Agree! Love you all but it's just not the same without her 😔

I'm sure she's having a blast!

Waving hi👋

I am looking forward to her recap! she definitely deserves this holiday!

You can always tell when Mtn is away on holiday - just not the same around here.

Plus we need you to explain what the heck is going on with the markets.

Can we talk about her since she isn’t in the room?

I will.

I sadly have never had the opportunity to meet mtn in real life. I’ve seen a few pictures over the years.

I also play ‘I wonder if this online friend is like this charactor/person’.

In my little mind, I imagine mtn to be the good parts of Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook). Am I close? Does she at least kind of resemble her? 😊

Calm seas and safe travels mtn!

Is this the cruise or The Silk Road? Or did The Silk Road trip get ❌ because of unrest in the area?

(Txjana, me too, kinda sorta.Just wanted mtn’s boots-on-the-ground take)

maddie, I can see the resemblance with Shiv too. They are both tall beautiful and polished professionals. But Mtn has a much warmer demeanor, an easy smile and ridiculously high cheekbbones.

(I’ll let you all know when I receive the restraining order from mtn’s lawyer)

Maybe Mtn needs to leave us with a homework assignment : )

I was just thinking yesterday about how something is missing with Mtn away and how she should get back here ASAP! (Edited to say LOL in case that's not clear)

Will she be remodeling her cruise cabin and ask us for our thoughts? Hope so! and I’m sure she will have some fascinating feature or influence to incorporate from her travels.

Absolutely Mtn is the best person to give us an in-depth analysis of the market instability. I finally mustered the courage to look at our investment accounts today. It was not good, but not as bad as I expected.

I imangine that kswl wanted to keep this thread alive, viewable.

Ditto on missing Mtn. and looking forward to her indepth ”trip wrap up”

Sorry, DH and I have been driving today, a few days in the mountains with DD and SIL and kids. Maddielee, got it in one.

…edited to delete all references to now deleted comment…

Thinking of you, Mtn, and hoping you’re having a wonderful trip!

I have noticed her absense too. I'm very much looking forward to her review of the river cruise, as DH wants to do one and I'm not convinced.

Yes Jsk I too am very interested in her review of the ship, food, decor, itinerary, etc.

I’ve been on one river cruise, and the cabins are much smaller than ocean ones. Be sure you book a larger cabin. I enjoyed it-so interesting to see so much happening on the shores.

Proof of life, whew! Thank you whoever forwarded this to Mtn; in case she had any doubt, now she knows we are awaiting her return with unreasonable expectations that she will give us the lowdown on, well…everything 😎 In the 1990’s there was a Nickelodeon show for kids called Clarissa Explains It All…. If not the content, the concept—and Mtn’s resemblance to a 15 year old Melissa Joan Hart—has more than a passing similarity!

LOL, ”Mtn Explains It All”
