Ah! Tis 2008...have you written the new year date, yet? That always seemed to me to be a curious moment, each year...that is, the first time I ACTUALLY wrote"2008"...it cemented the new year and tha passing of the previous one.
I sincerely hope that this past one was a good one for each of you...as it held many Blessings for Patrick and me.
Now...having celebrated Thanksgiving with family here in Fla., and Christmas, also here with my two daughters and little Gretchen, then, heralding in the New Year, we are, now, looking forward to our world cruise which starts in two weeks. How can that be? We have been planning for it...for such a long time...both in things "to do" and also, emotionally ready-ing for the onset. It is practically here, and I am busy figuring out HOW to pack and also, getting all the links set up on the computer to "take you with us" virtually. We hope that you will visit this blog often and enjoy the commentary as well as to go to the shutterfly link (http://otooleworldcruise2008.shutterfly.com/) NOTE: PASSWORD IS: " CRYSTALS" ...check out the maps and the corresponding titled albums there and the pictures, as I add them. No worries, I shall do fewer this year, but TRY to pick out the best.
Be sure to send a personal e-mail to us on occasion, as we love to hear from you; the notes from "home" will be important to us to feel connected to YOU.
I shall be taking a global Blackberry-world phone with us for emergencies...(I'LL send the # to key people via a private e-mail) and SHOULD be able to receive calls when we are in port (and the verizon/GSM signal is strong)...I don't think that they have many towers in the middle of the oceans which we shall traverse...and the calls will be expensive...so, emergencies only, please !
If you check out the world map which will be included in this BLOG, soon, as well as the segment maps located in the world cruise collection located via the shutterfly link, then, you will know when we'll be IN PORT.
This time, I'll send an email to alert you as to when Pat or I will be IN the computer room, for those of you who wish to see a "live time" wave hello from afar. Will TRY to make this work given the time differences along the way.
Guess this is all for now...I'll keep you updated and you "do the same".
We're off to get our Typhoid shots, tomorrow.

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.
