No checking in on HW from the ship - wait until you get back - stop planning RT, and go play.

Hope you have a great time. leave your laptop at home.

I was hoping, by now, they would let us go to Cuba...This time of year, it's nice to get south of latitude 26...Yes indeed, it's been a rough year..

lets call it Vitamin D therapy and we can write it off our taxes!!

Fair winds and smooth seas Mel...

Sounds like this will involve the right sort of Calypso treatment!

Enjoy yourselves

Mel,

Enjoy the trip. Are you packing a can of spam just in case?

Mel, a cruise...our favorite vacation.  And you're sailing on Holland America...wonderful line with great food and terrific crew.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.  John and I sailed on Holland America's Veendam this past June out of NYC to Bermuda...this was a celebration of John's 60th birthday.  We have another cruise booked in May to the Caribbean for our 30th wedding anniversary...that will be our 8th cruise.  Any questions, just let me know.

    My Doc suggested Vitamin D, I think you have found a great way to get. The tax thing might just work.

GREAT I bet you guys will have a great time. Forget about all the PC stuff and just enjoy your life.

Have fun Mel. Cruises are a lot of fun and may be they are GFMPC.

Given where I am and where more of you are "Holland-America" could easily have been my tag instead of "English Alf"
Posted 11/19/2010 4:26 PM (GMT 0)
Yep Alf, you are a Brit that happens to love Edam and Gouda cheese, lol.

Thanks folks.

3 weeks away.

I do not intend to do much computing. In fact, I think it is quite expensive anyway!

Mel,

You will love it!  After my Surgery, we booked ten days to the Carribean on the Queen Mary II from NYC (near home) and the sense of leaving it all behind as we pulled away from the pier was palpable.  Holland America is a great start - you'll never want to go any lower than that again! That cruise was the best vacation we ever had.  Do an awful lot of nothing...it's addicting!
