To Talk of Ships...

Debbi:   You & your husband look beautiful ! !  What a great picture !   After what you've (both) been through, high winds, storms (?) - piece of cake !
Glad you both had a great vacation.
Always good thoughts,  Nancy

... a lobster line had become entangled in the propeller of the ship (which is apparently essential to movement). 

Debbi

OK that made me laugh. Great story and thanks for the pics.

I believe the propeller is only essential if you don't feel like rowing the giant cruise ship back home!

Great pictures!  You look awesome!

Hi Debbi,

Over all it seems like you had a great trip. Good for you. Loved the pictures. Ann

You really are such a trooper!  It sounds like going on a cruise caused extreme wonky head. I really get what you mean about long corridors and vividly patterned carpets and am glad to hear it subsided and didn't ruin your vacation.  I've been trying to talk Rob into a cruise and am now having second thoughts, but then he is not eager to go, so we probably won't.  It sounds like you had a great time in the end and the pics are great.  I can't wait to see you next Saturday.

Thanks for the whole story, Debbi.  I haven't had time to read your blog lately.

Pictures are beautiful and you and Willie look very relaxed.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

And, for those of you who are debating whether to cruise or not, I say DO IT!  Yes, the first day is a bit shocking as you get used to the visual stuff, but it is so worth it.  It is great fun to be pampered and to wake up each morning in a new place.  The weather we encountered was somewhat unusual, and the lobsters ... well, what can you say about lobsters, anyway.   

Heck, maybe we should book an AN cruise!  We could all link arms and totter around the ship...

Debbi, ahoy maties

Ahoy Debbi and Willy, ye seafarin' wench and scallywag!  Gettin' out on the rollin' blue is indeed a treat!  I have been in 20 foot seas on a 32 foot sailboat (for 4 days straight) so I bet that big cruise ship was a little less rocky and rolly, but there's only so much a one-balance-nerved wench can take!!  I'm glad you had a good time and got to eat some lobsta and got to see some beautiful islands.

Take Care,

Capt Deb
