September 2010

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.

Hooray! I'm back, again. Still cruising in September. Debbie

Cruise West / Columbia & Snake Rivers / River Voyage of Discovery aboard Spirit of 98

Departing August 28, 2010 from Portland, OR
8/29 - Columbia River Gorge, Bonneville Dam and Multnomah Falls
8/30 - Pendleton, OR
8/31 - Clarkston, WA, jet boat excursions into Hell's Canyon
9/1 - Walla Walla, WA
9/2 - river cruising, lock through McNary, John Day and The Dalles
9/3 - Astoria, OR (day tour to Mt. St. Helens, we'll drive back later for a day in Astoria)
9/4 - Portland and disembark, transfer to airport to pick up rental car and spend the next week driving down the Oregon Coast to spend a night at Crater Lake Lodge and then back to Portland to fly home.

Gail and I will be with the gang on CASTLE. Since it is a river cruise, I didn't think listing the ports for possible stalking was particularly relevant.

Jim&Ann Doyle

Jim and Ann - Great to hear you'll be on board. Just in case you haven't followed my adventures, Michael is my 40 year old son (I was a child bride). Would you like to meet up with us for dinner/drinks? Sorry, I can't offer you any Euros and the Aussie dollar has done a nose dive, so you wouldn't want any of them!

Congratulations on your 50th Anniversary - well done!

Hope you love Regent as much as we do.

Lee

Dad and I are taking back to the sea on another crossing after our Regent Naviagator was cancelled last year due to the early dry dock. So we shift to Silversea as a perceived punishment to Regent.

Silver Whisper is just out of drydock and refurbish (on schedule I might add). Crossing the ocean with my Dad is a great experience, and our last one on Voyager will long be etched on my mind. (FLL to Horta) Here's hoping for more memories on a new cruise line to us.

Mary Ellen

Hi Mary Ellen - It will be great to meet up with y'all!! Congratulations on your anniversary - 15 years is certainly worth celebrating! I'm so glad we're all calling in at the same ports (tee hee) even if my dates don't look the same! Lee

Looks like you 6 have great start to a wonderful trip!!!! Congrats to the anniversary couples!!! And Lee & Michael for adding to the good times!

Thanks Joanna for your good wishes for our cruise. I don't suppose you have a spare two weeks in September? Lee

Lee IF only we could - we leave for TUT end of Sept - please send seamail know you all will have fantastic trip!! :hello1: :hello1: :hello1:

It will be my turn to be jealous while you're on TUT Joanna - I'll look forward to seamail from you too. Lee

Aloha

OK-Christina and I are traders !
We will be on the Holland America- Zuiderdam.
Sept.28 for 16 nights, from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale. Then we go to visit friends in the DC area for a week.

John & Christina

Better to be traders than traitors!! :D Sorry, couldn't resist. Enjoy, what I assume, has to be a Canal transit.

Eugene

John and Christina have a wonderful cruise - very funny Eugene :D :D :D

We're doing Viking River, 11 nights "Pathways of the Pharoahs" in Cairo and Luxor, as well as 3 nights both Nile and Lake Nasser, and, a four day extention to Petra.

We'll now have done the 7 wonders of the new world as well as the left over old one, the pyramids of Giza.

Lee! Pardon us for being offline for months. Here's a note Ann sent you via Brown aND kEENE:
Hi Lee. Jim and I were glad to hear from you and yes, we are VERY excited about our cruise. I did get a reservation at each of the two special restaurants by calling up Regent on the day we were allowed to make the reservations. They told me that once we boarded we could try to make additional reservations. It doesn't seem fair that you were unable to book one for Prime Rib. I hope that can be rectified.

Smart girl to get to England a few days early! We fly out from Washington, DC on Wed. the 8th and now I am beginning to freak out about the possibility of a hurricane ruining everything. You will have dealt with your jet lag as many of us board half dead.

Trying to diet before Sept. 9 but not doing well at all!!!!!

Have fun planning and packing and we'll undoubtedly meet aboard the Voyager! Ann Doyle

We'd love to join you for dinner etc. onboard. Also, what will the shore weather be like in these ports.
Jim
(promise to check back soon.)

Mary Ellen: Just caught up with your June 1

Mary Ellen: As I was saying, just saw your 8 week old post, shame on me. but we'll soon be together on Voyager along with Lee and Michael and at least one other B&K couple. May we have smooth sailing and great weather. See y'all soon.

Jim & Ann Doyle

We are going on Seabourn Spirit Sept. 25 -Oct. 2, Rome to Venice...a pre-TUT cruise. We're doing a B2B with 2 different cruiselines.

That's pretty sneaky, Marcie! Sounds wonderful! Nice little Seabourn taster and then Terrific TUT!
Could it get any better? We will expect lots and lots of SeaMail!

That sounds perfect Marcie!!!!!! 3 weeks and an experience on SB - anxious for your opinion of SB when we see you Oct 3 :hug: :hug:

Marcie, I can't wait to hear your opinion, too!

Marcie - is this something new? Can't wait to hear about your experience on Seabourn. Will you get into Athens earlier on the 2nd now? Are you still in for the pre TUT dinner?

Marcie will surely have some pictures for the Dag fans, as this will be one of his early cruises after joining Seabourn!

Can't wait to hear your impressions. The itinerary is great, lots of interesting ports!

so excited for your trip M - I am guessing she arrives the 2nd at better time but she'll fill us in -

We land/arrive in Athens on Oct. 2nd @ 6 pm. In case we're too late to join everyone for dinner, we'll hook up with you after dinner for sure! Do we have details for dinner yet ?

I'll get them out in the next couple of weeks.
