I wish you all the best. Hope everything goes well.

John,

I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling well. I got really sick two nights ago with a stomach virus so I’ve been taking medicine. I feel a little better now, but everyone is getting sick around with all sorts of things…

I got a speeding ticket due to a stupid human error. I totally forgot that the students we’re back in school (It was just past Labor Day) and when school is in session, the speed limit drops to 30 and I was doing 45 which was the speed limit without school in session. I got four points on my license. I have to be extra careful because in New Jersey, I believe they suspend your license if you get six points. Cops here WILL pull people over for the smallest things.

Loved what you did at the marriage show. I would’ve loved to see the guest’s reaction to that!

Alex G.

Best wishes to you, hope all goes well.

Do cell phones work ,when at sea, from one person to another or must one use the walkie talkies (with great care regarding where the walkie talkie is located!)? Jeri

I am new to your blog and the whole blogger’s scene so I hope this is in the right place.

I am planning a cruise for February ’09 and was wondering if you have a list of where all the cruise directors will be durring that time. I really enjoyed “Karl with a K” on the Paradise back in May and was hoping to have him again in Feb. I had read on Cruise Critic that he is on the Imagination but wanted to verify that. If there is not a published list of which ships the Cruise Directors are on I think that would be a great idea.

Thanks for you help and keeping me entertained between sailings with your blog.

John, I loved your radio/toilet story. It reminds me of a story I heard several years ago that involved a woman using a kleenex from her purse (in a toilet-paper emergency), not being aware that the kleenex had trading stamps (green stamps) attached. Apparently, it was the surprised ob-gyn who alerted her to them!

John, I’ve reached the age to where I tend to slow down and smell the roses. I do remember when it was much more fun, though, to go faster! I feel your pain!
