Jerry & Kathy

Jerry & Kathy are two dreamers who used to sit in front of the TV and watch travel shows and say "one day we'll go there". Well we've been most of those places we dreamed about, but we're always looking forward to the next adventure. Follow along as we make new memories and as you dream of making your own.

We made a visit to the Louve this morning and viewed the Mona Lisa, Hercules, the Winged Victory and Venus. Amazing to see these works of art and the skill it took to create them. The Louve is spectacular and large, allow a full day to take in just the highlights. On the way out, Kathy went to buy some stamps and discovered her wallet was missing, we had been pick pocketed. There was a fair amount of cash taken, but what was frustrating was spending a better part of the morning cancelling credit cards. Not a pleasant thing to do. At least I still have my cards and cash.

The four of us have been in Paris for just over a day and all I can say is "wow".

3 hrs to airport check in. As Peter, Paul and Mary once sang "all my bags are packed, I'm ready to go" It's time to start the next Cruise Crew adventure. Kathy and I, along with Alan and Colleen leave today. The other half of our group, Chuck and Malissa and Rob and Shari, will fly out on Sunday. We'll rendezvous in Paris as a full fledged flock of 8. The only sad apart about taking a great trip is leaving our four legged kids. The dogs are staying pretty close this morning as we finish the last minute details. I'm sure they sense our stress and excitement. I'll miss them as much as they'll miss us. ... read more
