John, Now we really now who had the hard time getting girls, YOU. When we say your sister picture we could see you were not telling the truth about her. Now we know you have been fibbing about Alan’s looks. Glad to see he is doing much better now and hope to meet him one day.
The burgers and sausage looks good. You will be lucky if Alan don’t drop your’s on the ground He should your so mean to him.

Alan is looking well, as is the dinner on the grill. I’ll be over as soon as I can hop on a plane in JFK and meet you in England!

John,
FINALLY!! We get a glimpse of Alan! He’s not half as bad as you made him out to be; he’s actually quite good looking. I truly hope we get to meet him and his wife in February.
Looks like you’re having a nice, relaxing weekend, as it should be.
Love to you and Heidi!

John, sounds like you had a wonderful day with Alan. The friendship that y’all share is truly something special!
Hi, Alan!

Hi John,
Loved the video!
And Alan, John lied to us about you! He’s been telling us you are ugly and you are very good looking! And you cook! Alison’s a lucky lady! Maybe we will get to meet her too? Soon! Hope you will join us in February on Bloggers Cruise 2.

Hi everyone:
Happy Mom’s day to every woman out there, whether you’re a mother or not. As our Pastor of our church said today every woman deserves to be wished a Happy Mothers Day, because at one time or another every woman has mothered or nurtured someone in her life…so true. My son had his Confirmation today, and I am a proud Mama of 2 great kids! I only saw the still pic., but Alan looks good, hope he’s feeling great,also. The pics frm yesterday were so nice to see, I will definetely have to visit the UK oneday. Speaking of which…there is a small, but ever so hopeful possibility that maybe, just maybe I can make it to the Bloggers cruise next Feb “09. I’m working on Ted, and I’m hopeful to find a decent fair on Jet****, cheking every few days!!

John,
Thanks for the video! One good looking man and you…LOL. It was wonderful to see Alan looking so well! And he can cook as well! I loved hearing your voice again John.
Glad you chosed the cruise! Doesn’t Hedi live with a wild animal anyway? LOL.
Will continue my prayers for Alan, and hope to meet you and your wife on the next bloggers cruise.

know it’s kind of late but I wanted to put my two cents in about the dining room thingy. I have been on three cruises to visit my sister and all three of them we ate in the dining room every night. One of the best parts about the cruise is your dinner every night. We sit with just our family, but having the same waiter that knows what you like and how you order is nice. Plus I know that for the staff it’s better too. They get much more money that way. Plus then you don’t have to plan for dinner because it’s already planned for you. I think we missed one time because we choose to stay off the ship and have dinner on land. I am a creature of habit. I like to sit in the same place every night and know that when I order two lobster tails on formal night the waiter won’t look at me funny because he already knows how much I love seafood. Especially lobster! Thanks John

Hi John, Heidi & Alan,
Thank you for finally posting the video of you and Alan. I’ll take a medium burger, please. Alan, you look great - I hope you’re feeling the same.
Mother Nature seems to be angry - cyclone in Burma, Earthquakes in China & Mexico, Volcanoes erupting in Chile & Italy, Tornadoes in the Mid-west. (Plus a woman is missing from an NCL ship off New Jersey). Sounds like a script for a disaster movie. But unfortunately, it’s real. My heart goes out to all those families who have been hit hard and lost everything.
Hope to read another blog thingy later,
Hugs,
Carol

Good afternoon Mr. Heald & Alan. It’s nice to see the two of you together. I happy that Alan is better and cooking the food for the four of you. Friendship does wonders for everyone and I can see that you two are great friends just by the way you two banter back and forth. Enjoy life, enjoy friendship, enjoy love. I added the last one to include the ladies who weren’t in the video. Ciao my friends.

ALAN,
Well, now the truth is out about why you and John had “trouble” getting the girls! It was all because of John and the cronic lying that he does! For months now every time he talks about you it is “what an ugly sod” you are. I know that it is all in fun, but it honestly was so nice to see you and to see and hear the two of you together. The bantering that goes on between the two of you only happens between 2 VERY CLOSE FRIENDS!! I am so happy that you seem to be doing so well! The food looked wonderful, but after all the badmouthing that John has done about you, you should have fed John a veggie burger!

Hi John/Heidi:
Great to see Alan out and about. Looks like he’s doing fairly well, but i’ll let his hat slide. Looks liek he’s getting ready for his own safari.
And thank you for not naming this blog Beauty and the Beast.
Thanks for posting the video.

John,
About assigned or opened seating, while on Diamond Princess they also offered both. We found several people after arriving to the ship made reservations for their choice of dining rooms and times for each of the 15 days. Our waiter said he had people that reserve the same table each night but different times, that way they had the same wait staff.

Today in Florida (Palm Bay/Malabar, Cocoa and Daytona Bch) there are wild fires, it is very windy and no rain in sight. My friend/co-worker was up all night with her husband fighting the wild fires behind there house which is all wooded area. She said their shoes melted on their feet the heat was so hot! They were told this afternoon to evacuate, so they are packing up all their important papers, their dog and 3 cats and heading to their daughters house here in Melbourne. I pray the fires are put out quickly. Please blogger friends say a prayer for all those affected by these wild fires. Thank You! Linda

Alan -
You are not nearly as ugly as John. Its clear that it was he who scared the girls off.
So, please tell us, how did he possibly win the heart of the faire Heidi. It certainly couldn’t have been his charm and personality.

Naw, handsome. Handsome food too.

Hi ALAN!!!
Glad to see you enjoying some wonderful times with John and Heidi. Hope to get to meet you in person one day. And don’t be shy….we don’t bite.
(well, Big Ed does…but we will keep him under control!!)
