WISH WE WERE THERE! Hello Kevin and Susan...Though it's been some years since we shared a cruise with you, you two haven't changed a bit...you look great! David and I were on the Mariner last fall and do have
plans to return to S.A. cruise in a year...hope to see you again...
We just missed you. we were on the Navigator , leaving on 11-26 for the Amazon from Miami. Maybe we will hook up on our next cruise. We miss yoy guys, Norm and Linda Miville from a couple of world cruise we sailed with you.. and Linda Miville (North Carolina)
Voyager Hey Susan & Kevin! Glad to hear you are enjoying the Voyager. We are taking our family (7 including us) on it July 22-29, 2019, from Rome to Monte Carlo. We are very excited! Any chance you will be on it then? Looking forward to your blog about Cuba. Love, Mary Ann & Bobby
Off Again Glad you guys are on the water again. I'm only half mad at you for not letting me know you were on Mana for that long and not calling me. Harumph!! Evan at my age I could be a limited deck hand.
Have fun-looking forward to more blogs as the trip progresses-especially your comments and pictures on Havana.
Bon Voyage and all that stuff.
Dick
fun to hear from you! enjoyed looking at all the pics and reminiscing ourselves. No voyages planned as yet but one can always hope. We've 'retired' to a Hilton Head community and Gordon is in the Health Center here, just yards away from our apartment, after having another small stroke but he comes home every afternoon through dinner, a good compromise of needed health help and Home.
Cruising again How nice to receive this email. I can hardly believe you were on dry land so long. I enjoyed your photos. Hope all is well with you both.
Happy New Year! Glad you are getting your sea legs back but you probably never lost them. We love the Voyager also but the Mariner is still our favorite. No trips planned at the moment because of Laura's health issues. Need to get her in better shape before booking anything. Would like to visit Cuba..
Travel keeps you two “Lookin Good.” Patty and I are finally going to take the plung on an Alaska Cruise in June, after a 35 year hiatus from any kind of seafaring adventure. We’ll give you two a call for pointers as the time draws near.
Dr. Lloyd Tinkle I happened upon your blog entry about Dr. TInkle. He was my business law teacher at Joliet Junior College in 1977-1979, and I worked for him as a student worker for those 2 years in his office. I remember him being a very friendly man, always laughing and joking with the student workers. How surprised I was to learned that he lived such a long time and had such a full life. Way to go, Dr. Tinkle!
Dr Tinkle Ahoy Mary! We loved Dr Tinkle, Andrew so did the crew and all the passengers on our world cruises.
We visited Lloyd several times in Sioux City. He was a very kind man. The ship had a great big party for him
on his 100th birthday. What a party that was! We miss him dearly.
Kevin LaGraff and Susan Atkins
Where Waters Converge Love your Malaysian Night photo -- you two look fabulous! Love your travel stories and travels, wish we had more than an evening to hear the adventures, where the waters converge, here in Singapore. See you soon. xx
Happy Easter We had to be up at 6:15 so we could be at church by 7:15. Whenever I have to rouse myself earlier than usual, I don't sleep much the night before in fear that I will oversleep. We went out to brunch with our family after Mass. We then promptly came home and turned on the fireplace and took a little snooze. I am now catching up on email while I look outside and see snow falling. It is positively dreary outside with a projected high of 30. I wish this was an April Fool's Day joke but it is the truth. It was nice to escape for awhile and read your blog and view your pictures of blue water and sky and greenery.
We are going to Nancy's tonight for some smoked pork with lots of sides and dessert. Today is a good day to congregate because everyone's schedule gets crazy this spring. We have lots of celebrations: First Communion, a Confirmation, an eighth grade graduation, Michael's high school graduation ( He is going to KU next fall), my 50ieth KU reunion next weekend, the 7th grade play and lots of soccer. Laura's middle daughter is on a traveling, competitive team which goes to North Carolina next weekend. Laura and Tom are flying separately as Kendal goes with the team. Between Nancy and us, we will shepherd the other two girls. My reunion and Laura's trip are overlapping. To compound the chaos, we have our house on the market. We want to downsize. Hopefully, we can sell the house and move onto our next chapter, whatever that may be.
Keep the blogs coming and enjoy the remainder of the cruise.
Sandy

Rocky?Wanda Hey you next door guys. Thanks for the kudos. Is our house still standing? Thanks for writing. When are you cruising next? Soon I think.

Keep Kalm and no Monkey Business No orangatangs this time. The ship had a tour to it. Next time. How ya' doing? James Carville and Mary Matalin are aboard for 3 lectures. I chat with James on deck. He's an interesting guy with lots of good stories. The Ragin' Cajun.
