Asia/Pacific Loved hearing where you are and what you are doing. We are on Voyager in Akaroa and heading south. Wonder if we will share any ports. Some things are the same and some things are changed on the ship. We are on until Singapore. The Ashdowns, Eddys, and Judy Weirick are, also. Fun, but we miss you on "the back porch". XO ML
Bonvoyage by Silversea Whisper Thanks for sending your new blog which seems to be so attractive trip.
Silversea Whisper looks like a nice hotel. There are 270 cruisers for 382 passengers which is great. Please enjoy the new tipe of the Asia Pacific cruising for you.
bonvoyage! Masa
New Ship for Us Too Sounds like you have a lovely new way to cruise! We're also trying a new line, Azamara Quest, going to the Sea of Cortez and Copper Canyon. New is always good!
Response to blog Dear Susan and Kevin--
Always a delight to receive one of your blogs and to drool over the pictures of your latest adventure. Your new ship sounds wonderful and the itinerary pretty close to paradise.
We are heading to Ft. Myers Beach on Jan. 23 for a week. We fear that it might be on the cool side because we are heading into an arctic blast this week which goes into Florida. We will still have friends, food, and beautiful views so that is not all bad.

Air to Sea Wow another Cruise . . Fantastic! How is this for High Tech. I'm writing to you on an iPad, while in flight heading back to VNY, over the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. We are on the last leg of a 3 day Fort Lauderdale trip. Getting internet finally on the plane is a big plus for us. . and it only costs $2200/month, plus $140,000 in equipment.
Enjoy your cruise. See you at the 50th. Guy
Susan & Kevin - Hope you have a fabulous cruise - it's been way too long since I've seen you two. The new ship sounds lovely, especially since you are amongst old friends. Bon Voyage! Hugs, m/a
Glad you're back to work!! Tee hee I live vicariously through your blog and happy to have you back on board! I sure loved the five cruises I did with Regent but I have always thought that Silversea would be the next cruise line I would try. Wishing you both a fabulous cruise and I look forward to traveling with you on your blog. Much love. P
After 7 months on land did you require surgery to remove your feet from the earth; or maybe those short trips on your boat helped the transition. We would like your comparison of the two lines--especially the ship you are on and the Regent's Navigator. We will be on Crystal (for the first time) on their New York to Iceland cruise on June 1. Any suggestions on your favorite things to do there? In 2005 we will be on Regent Lima to Buenos Aires; it would be nice if you are the hosts.
And, of course, about the blog--we always enjoy reading it and seeing the photos.
Off Again Here you go agin! Looking forward to the blogs-they are always fun.
This ship seems small, but sounds like it has all of the wanted things. Booze included??
Keep 'em coming.
How's the internet-you still want USN submissions???
Aloha

WoW! The Silversea looks great! We may just have to take the big switch ourselves...although we are
booked Tokyo to Singapore on Regent in 2015....
Good to see photo of Suzanne...give her a "hi" from us. And Red and Annie? are they on the ship?
Miss you all. Bonnie and David Shannon
It was only yesterday....... that we were talking about you and wondering what you were up to. We are delighted to hear you are on Silversea. We were on Silver Wind a couple of years ago from Cape Town to Barcelona. We got the same line about "more crew than passengers" -- maybe it is part of their marketing plan! We loved the ship -- in the Italian restaurant Tessa's favorite was ravioli with a walnut sauce -- Pansotti in salsa di Noci -- highly recommended! In fact, Tessa asked for the recipe and when they gave it to her it is a recipe to serve 100 people!!!
Sounds like you have a great itinerary and the idea of a week in Hong Kong sounds like a great way to cap the trip.
We leave a week from Monday for three weeks in India & Nepal land based (Tauck Tours) and we are looking forward to seeing Mt Everest and spotting tigers in the wild. We will miss our sea days, but I think we will survive! Our blog will be up and running too -- will send you an alert.
That's about it for now. Glad to hear from you and as always we are looking forward to future reports. Smooth sailing!

new email address We really enjoy reading about your travels. Would appreciate it if you would change our email address from rcoplin@gator.net to r3coplin@gmail.com.
Thank you,

Hey Susan & Kevin! Sounds & looks great! Have a wonderful cruise! We came to the Destin, FL area Dec. 18 & are here until the end of March. We wonder if you had known this, if we could have seen you on your FL travels. Maybe next time! We loved our Regent cruise in Aug./Sept. 2013 from Stockholm to Barcelona. Miss you! Love, Mary Ann & Bobby
Will miss you on regent Just had breakfast with Allison & Joe Trum. They are boarding the Crystal Serenity in San Pedro, 20 min from our home, for a voyage to Tokyo. Your ears must have been ringing, as your names came up. Enjoy your voyage. We are headed to Fairfax next weekend. In April we will be boarding the Voyager in Dubai, heading for Rome.

Two Bubs in a Tub looks lie a cialis commercial-two tubs and hlding hands.
Have you ever eaten at a restrauant in Rio Vista (can' remeber the name, something "big Horn") that has the trophies of the previous owner among the elephant, girtaffs, lions, tigers,ets all looking dow envious of the good meal your are having?
Glad you are home safe and sound-another amazing adbventure under your belts.
Look forward to a lunch (on me) where we cah share things--obviously mostly from you..
Hope the boat was still floating----

What a great way to spend the Summer! After all the globe-trotting, there is so much to see and do right here at home. It looks like you really covered some ground. It is giving me ideas.......
The family reunion must have been a great time too. Who knew there were so many Atkins out there?
Are you doing anything between now and your next Voyager sojourn? We are off to London for 3 weeks in October.
Keep on traveling!
