Wednesday January 25, 2006Our last day at sea. We leisurely wake up and head upstairs to the buffet for breakfast. I got a tip form Jan that I can ask for French toast even if it isn’t on the buffet. Hot Damn! It is off to trivia for mom and over to the culinary demonstration [...]

Thursday, January 19, 2006Due to weather and navigational problems our port at St. Vincent for today was cancelled.

It’s all Sean’s fault

January 9, 2006

SNOOD! Love it or hate it, but I bet you can’t stop playing it. Somehow in a conversation with my daughter Sean introduced her to Snood. I came home to this cute little blue ball on my desktop and being the curious sort, I clicked on it. My eyes have been blurry since. GIve it [...]
