June 2011

If you are lucky enough to be cruising during the month, please list your cruise and the date and we will do our best to stalk you along your journey to get a glimpse of your ship. Please list your dates and ports.

I will be spending June and part of July on HAL's Prinsendam to the North cape, and my favorite area, the Baltic.

Excited to spend 22 days onboard.

This winter has caused a severe case of cabin fever and we're so ready for a cruise we'd ride a broken tree limb out to sea and enjoy it.

Waiting anxiously in Cleveland for CLEO!

My first time in Alaska!

I think I want to be xrvlcruiser! Combining being with friends, and then joining family! Did Alaska with family years ago and all loved it. Now, oh my, there is that recession thing!

Have a great time with your kids and grands, Peggy!

I don't have to tell you, I'm excited and looking forward to both trips!

Peggy, you're going to have such a fun time! It's hard to believe that YOU of all people who has been everywhere in the world over and over haven't been to Alaska. You'll have such a good time.

I would love to go on a cruise with entire family somewhere...need to wait until our grands are at least potty trained LOL.

Finally got my wife Patricia to join me on Navigator (MY cabin 603)for Alaska June 1 cruise. I told her there would be LOTS of animal sightings!( Marcie!)I hope I don't let her down.

Cy and I traveled in the winter and he wanted to be in CT when the weather was nice.
Anyway, I'll do Alaska twice within the year: on the Navigator in June and again on the Serenity next April.

Tomorrow, we're off for Copenhagen to join Oceania's Insignia for an 18 dayer to Norway, including Spitsbergen, North Cape, and Murmansk, Russia, ending in Dover on July 11th!

Have a wonderful trip, dooley!

:bv:

Wishing happy sailing to Peggy on the Navigator and Dooley on Insignia.

Peggy -- Have two great trips. Jealous!
