Christmas On A Ship
This was the third Christmas I’ve spent on a cruise ship in as many years. And I have to say this one was just a blast. We each drew names of one of the other cast members with the stipulation that the couples couldn’t pull their partners name. The week leading up to Christmas we [...]

We woke up yesterday morning to the normal string of announcements telling passengers with Aqua, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Purple (the list goes on and on) colored luggage tags that they could leave the ship.

We played tennis again in Kauai. Mike, Piero, Rance and I made the trek up to the tennis courts, slapped down our $10 court fee (which we found out we didn’t even need to pay since the court we were given was not locked), grabbed a loaner racket for Piero and hit the clay. It [...]
