Hi everyone...
Tonight we are celebrating Mardi Gras...soon the jazz will fill the hallways and the coctail lounges...the ship is all decked out in purple and gold...really, quite festive. This is a first for Crystal and they are doing it in style this time. We so love jazz, so this is extra special for us.
Today, we are en route to Apia, Samoa. We'll arrive in the morning and only be there a day. Looking forward to it and our sight seeing will be an overview of the island.
Today was very special in so many ways...for one...we had lunch with Scott Ritter, the person who was chief weapons inspector for Iraq ...now retired. He worked closely with the Pentagon, and Nato and of course the FBI...very interesting to have about 2 hours of one on one time with him, as he is a guest lecturer and is open and down to earth as they come. He is a past marine, a conservative, mostly, however, very critical of this adm. handling of the current war. He views many world decisions as "political" and as many of us, is concerned about the future of our country. These experiences are so valuable...and we are so very fortunate to have them.
On another note...I have just posted many more pictures on Shutterfly...
http://otooleworldcruise2008.shutterfly.com (password: CRYSTALS)...SO LOOK FOR THEM at your leisure. If you cannot get in...try later, as I may be working on the site uploading more at the very time you are trying to see the pics...I am learning that we both cannot be at the site at the same time, or, you cannot "get in" to see the pics.
More pics and commentary is coming.......thanks for your patience.
Will sign off now...more later today and in the few days to come.
note...as we'll be crossing the International Dateline...Feb 7th will NOT exist for us.......WOW........INTERESTING, EH?
bYE FOR NOW........
love to all from,
Nancy and Pat
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.
