GOODBYE MANHATTAN

Didn't do much yesterday, as it was threatening to rain all day. As I had two cans of Foster's beer, my big decision was whether to have a MacDonald's burger or Popeye's chicken, both establishments located across the street from the hotel. Decided on MacDonald's for a quarter pounder with cheese and fries for $12. Only a five-minute walk. Began to rain as I arrived back at the Marriott Marquis.

Have nice view of Times Square. It's possible that this might well have been my most enjoyable lunch of this entire trip.

As at 3PM this was to be my dinner tonight. Added a Lay's potato chip bag with a second can.

This is a very large can of beer at 25.4 ounces, or 750 ml. A typical bottle of wine is the same size.

Checked out of the Marriott Marquis and there is a $70 taxi price to JFK Airport.

Some thoughts on our around the world adventure.

Will take 53 days.
Honolulu to Tokyo to Singapore to Munich to Copenhagen to Amsterdam by air.
Three cruises.

7-day Tauck Tulip River from Amsterdam to Brussels.
7-day Regent Seven Seas Mediterranean from Barcelona to Piraeus, which should have been 9 days, but there were technical ship problems.
7-day Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic from Southhampton to New York City.

New York City to Seattle to Honolulu.
Dinner at Tokyo Robuchon.

Rooftop dining and 7 vests in Bangkok.

Tulips were amazing.

Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.

Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Tour of Rome.

On the Queen Mary 2, sashimi every day for lunch was a surprise.

A Beautiful Noise, the story of Neil Diamond, was memorable on Broadway.

Goodbye from the Alaskan Lounge at JFK Airport

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases. Very few are aware that a new one, BA.4.6, is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples . However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6. Here is a reference as to what this means. A series of two injections is involved. Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicious and troublesome. This strain has also been spreading in

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics. Thursday was my pandemic day for years. Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments. All these subvariants derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms. One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell. From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant, BA.2.86, also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to lose hair for several months. This is caused by stress more than anythi

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These are held every five years, and there have only been
