They wake you up, you have to go outside to the garage to get a ladder just to reach the thing and then once it is disconnected it will not stop until you replace the battery, because having no battery in it is just as beeeping crazy as having a battery with little life. You hoped that as a hardwired device the electricity alone would keep it from waking you up, but oh no, lets do it at 3 am. Just one of those beeping pet peeves.

When bond arrives in the Bahamas you can clearly see a CCL ship (most likely the Fantasy) docked. :) Yes Birdcage does have a nice view of a CCL ship in it, but in continuing with your James Bond theme, watch carefully the newer Casino Royale!

You went above and beyond when you paid to take that cat to the vet, you didn't have to that. But to actually force you to pay for the ad is too much. That was not your responsibility and you should have refused. That just reminds us that you get punished for trying to do the right thing.As for texting, I think it comes in handy when you are in a situation that you can't talk on the phone. At work I can receive and answer a quick text without disturbing the people around me. I can still speak and write proper English but the text speak makes life easier. Some people are just afraid of change. I think they took advantage of you in regards to placing that ad. You went above and beyond when you paid to take that cat to the vet, you didn’t have to that.

Randall and I have just returned from our Back to back sailings, on the Carnival Freedom and then the Carnival Splendor. I had asked you to email Ken the Maitre D, about seating us in Martina's section. Even though Ken was not on the Carnival Splendor when we sailed ( 12/6/08), we were seated in Martina's section and had a nice reunion with her. I thank you so much for helping us out with this. Randall and I think the world of Martina. Randall could not believe that you made this possible. Thanks again for making our cruise wonderful. By the way, Martina says to tell you hello! Julie and Randall Mendenahall. John,

Topics to address that I thought you might be able to post a blog about. These two came up when I just checked the Kruzmats website (trying to be creative there):1. What actually takes place on a cruise that includes Christmas? Is there a midnight mass, Christmas morning service, is there caroling, is there a singalong, etc. etc. Does Carnival have a Santa Claus that hands out gifts at Camp Carnival or Club O2? (there's a mother who did a post who is in a tither because her 15 yo isn't seeing the cruise as her gift). The other Kruzmats tried to trouble shoot or lend a helping idea or two or three.2. There is a serious marathon runner who will be cruising but is in training for the Boston and New York marathons. How could they find someone for him to run his ports of call with. I was able to help with an idea for Jamaica but I don't know about Carnival's other ports of call.Can't wait to see your blogs or responses. Can you believe Christmas is 11 days away! By the way, I hate phones too. Unless it's an emergency or you have some really good gossip, leave me be please. John – help! Topics to address that I thought you might be able to post a blog about.

Wish we could join for a cruise this spring, but my toddler has other plans for my vacation time. As someone who writes all day for a living, I can tell you that text speak is quite annoying.

Have a safe trip out to see the Dream, need an assistant to hold the camera? Ask the guys if they can have her ready early, so carnival can squeeze in a taster cruise…please. Hope Heidi is keeping well and enjoying her time with her mum.
Take care
