Japan.😘 Oh so happy to read this! Yes, it is now returning to treasured locals. Loved your details. But appreciate most the meeting up with family and friends along with your happy "still cruising" days. My recent Cunard cruise was wonderful, but would have been made happier had there been acquaintances along the way. There was still one RVL bar girl on the QE...Leisa (sp?), sister of Maria and Clara, who were also on the SUN in the 90's.
Enjoy the MUSE for me; the last Silversea ship Lee and I sailed...Fernando was still there and Bill Miller!!!
Cheers and happy sailing..hugs, Rosemary
Gorgeous! We’re so happy that you are back at sea and having a great time. Enjoy reliving those wonderful times in Japan from 50+ years ago.
Love, J&J
Old Friends from long ago In a life long ago and far away . Bob was a positive influence on me as a teenager. Please forward my email address to them as I would very much like to contact he and Kathy if they might email . This is not a scam . Glen Hill will be in their memories
Passing of Brian O'Brien Sadly Brian left us on 5th October and has been laid to rest in his home village in Northern Ireland. He will be missed by many.
So good to hear from you Dear Susan and Kevin
Great to hear that you are safe and happy in your home
We are doing ok. Martina has ongoing health issue
We lost our Frouie beginning of winter. At this moment we put our b&b on halt.
Hoping to see you again.
Much Love from us Ilse and Martina xx
Ilse So sorry to learn of Frouie’s passing into dog heaven. We’ll miss her?. Too bad you have to close down, but this virus is non stop.
Take care and give our love to Martine.
Thanks for sharing Enjoyed the reading, thanks. We do live in a Tropical Paradise and you have been great neighbors. Thanks for that. Please continue to share as I have always enjoyed your reading.
Still jealous you guys seem to really land on your feet. Tres Palmas looks delightful. I agree that land-lubbers is not really a good lifestyle, but what;'s a guy to do.
Enjoy your cruising and lf you ever finally get to Mana, call me so we can catch up.

It is so wonderful to hear from you both I love your writings and am so glad that you have found a "happy place" in Florida. I am amazed with all your wld life in the garden no less. I am still living my home which has never been so clean and organized. My garden is a thing of beauty now that have more time to study it and improve it. Just before the lockdown Dag came for a visit, his mother had just died and so he had to leave earlier than he wanted. Then Anette came for a visit. She is my God Daughter you know, and is really comfortable here as she stopped on every trip from Norway to Hawaii where she went to college. Plus she came for thanksgiving and Easter during that time. Dag Kristian has now graduated with honors from his University , Anette got a masters at Saint Andrews University in Scotland. also very high marks,. After three years, Kristin is doing much better, thank God. Dag is on the Europea rolling around the ocean next to Germany. He just got out isolation after flying over from Norway so he is much happier., but really wishes he had passengers on his ship. Life is very quiet here in San Francisco, Everyone in my neighborhood wears a face e mask when walking and of course in any inclosed space. the beauty parlors have Just opened a few weeks ago, I have five inches of snow white hair all over the top and probably will let it continue to grow out. The hardest part of all of this is not being able to swim at my club 4 days a week, and not being able to sing and rehearse for concerts at church I think we are a long way from singing and that saddens me. I have written all my news. I we am glad you are doing so well. Lets hope we can all sail again when it is safe. I miss it so, Take care and stay healthy, Lots of love, Carol
Happy to hear from you two Susan so nice to receive this latest update from you. Life has become very different for all of us. I know you and Kevin miss dearly miss being on board. I look forward to sailing again some day although my elderly sister won't I will sail alone if given the opportunity. You two seem to have a magical life and it sounds like Florida agrees with you. Take care and hope to see you again..
Thank you So happy you've found a landing that's ok-enough for these Covid times. Indeed, it sounds wonderful in many ways. Thanks for describing. Thanks, too, for the Isak Dinesen quote and the happy photos!
Awesome Wanda and I have been to all of those places, and on the Harmony of the Seas. How cool is that. We too, love cruises. Enjoy, my Friends. I appreciate the reading, thanks for sharing.
Bob& Laura Very important! The cruise lines usualy ask about the weather because it has a profound impact on customer satisfaction. Even when the customer doesn’t know it!
