Hi everyone, and HAPPY NEW YEAR !
I have written to all of you, of late, to offer you one last chance to try out the links for our cruise...JUST in case, you are having any trouble making the 2 links work ! I have heard from several of you and I shall share with you all what I told a few: if you still have trouble using the links because they might not be "active"...then, just copy and paste them into your web browser...choose "go" and get to the blog or the shutterfly site that way. Be sure not to forget the password for the shutterfly site : CRYSTALS.
This has been such a busy week, and I just know that the last one will fly. I am on schedule, though and hoping to be all ready by the end of the week. All the excursions are booked, now, and just tonight, we met another couple who will be on the segment from Sydney, Au - Hong Kong. WHAT A KICK ! We plan a dinner evening together...who knows, perhaps we'll go together in a "Junk" in Hong Kong harbour to enjoy the lazer show after dark...we'll see.
Through all of this excitement...I am taking time (like today during a YOGA CLASS), to think about the gravity of this experience Patrick and I are about to share together...how wonderful it really is...HOW truely lucky we are...and, how wonderful it isto have such wonderful family and friends with whom to share it all! I also thought about the idea that ...even though OUR experience, together will have to be a virtual one, really, the important expereinces in life are always best shared...and as we share with you, you are actively helping to enrich our own experience; for this, we thank you so very much !
At this point, you might be interested to know that all of us, together make up about 120 strong, following along from many states and parts of the world. They include: Mass., Conn., Florida., North Carolina, Va., Vt., Texas., Arizona., California., Kentucky., Oregon., Ohio., Indiana., Montreal., Toronto., Tennessee., Antigua.,Australia., England.,china., and New York. This list grows daily !
Hopefully, some of you will want to add comments within the blog for us, and others to see. If you prefer not, then you can just send a private email to us...
OF COURSE life happens, and my camera is acting up...SO, IT IS OFF TO THE CAMERA SHOP to see what I can do. I shall be certain that I have a good camera for the whole world cruise...no worries. I shall either have a replacement Nikon D-80 or a D-300 for the trip. I'll continue to use my Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens...For you photo buffs, the D-80 megapixel range is about 10.5...the D-300 is 13 mpixels and the actual pictures will be photographed at prof "fine quality" size of about 3,000x4,000mpixels/picture...jpeg format via SD card.
So are YOU ready...........we are. Stay tuned, and we'll wait to say good bye until next tuesday the night before we actually leave for L.A.
UNTIL THEN...stay well, and warm and know that we'll be missing you and hoping to hear from you often while we are away.
Peace and good health and warmth of heart...in the New year !
Nancy and Patrick !
WELCOME FAMILY AND FRIENDS !
Welcome to our BLOG... !
A BLOG is a place to share information and commentary about the life experiences of a person or couple. This is an opportunity to share our lives with you, and so, we shall attempt to keep you all up to date on our life together.
ENJOY !
Our World Cruise 2008 has come...can't believe it ! The time has flown and we are starting the cruise tomorrow. We'll be away from Jan 2008-May of 2008. I will be posting frequently, so, please, check-in often and comment "whenever the spirit moves you", (as my mother used to say !). PLEASE, check the section about "how to comment"...it may help you when you choose to do this after reading a section.
It is my hope that, at any time, but, especially, during this cruise, we ALL will use this site to stay "connected" with oneanother, dispite the vast geographical challenge...and feel wonderful about the sharing of thoughts and feelings, altogether.
I shall post pictures from the ship and from various places we visit...but most will be on 'shutterfly' and you will be able to access them via this BLOG by clicking on the HYPERLINK I shall place within the posting. If at any time the hyperlink doesn't work, then type the address into your web browser to go to shutterfly and use the password to access the OTooleworldcruise2008 collection...whenever you would wish to do so.
We hope that you will feel welcome and think of this, sort of, as YOUR SITE, too.
