Last week I posted my ultimate Baltic blog featuring the videos from our trips earlier this year. Many of you have commented on the videos and I hope they have inspired you to join me on the Carnival Liberty next year. We’re still working on getting the Tallin video and should have that soon. If you haven’t watched the videos yet here is Stephanie with the link thingy. (more…)

Honestly, you would think you are in the Caribbean heading for the Virgin Islands. But we are not ………we are heading to Marmaris, Turkey, and with 80 degrees of sunshine and tanzanite blue water it certainly could be the Caribbean Sea. It’s been a long time since I have seen a totally perfect day like this and if we were carrying anyone under the age of 70, I am sure the water slide and splash parks would be very popular. As it is though many are playing bridge, trivia and, of course, bingo………because that’s the law.

The Lido roof is open, the bands are playing and this afternoon there was the very strange site of my Asian friends from Canada………dancing………..or should I say………ballroom dancing on the Lido ………..in shorts, T-shirts and swimwear. Whereas the duo on Lido usually get requests for Jimmy Buffet, country and light pop music, today they were inundated with requests for “standards” that gave people the chance to foxtrot and the other stuff.

Eva Asked:
Congrats to both you and Heidi with this wonderful news. I love the way you just slipped it in at the end of your blog!!! Talk of dropping a bombshell and running…. You will make great parents and your new adventures will be fitting in nicely with the timing of the arrival.
Harold and I have booked the Western Europe for September 6 from Dover to Rome on the Liberty, will you be the CD??? I really hope you will just let Stephanie know so she can put it in the questions and answers when she next posts. If you’ll be there then we shall have to congratulate you in person.
Best wishes once again.

Hello Eva,

I will indeed be with you in September and will be able to show you pictures of the baby.

Cheers,
