I posted additional pics on my site, if you'd like to take a look. Thanks again- jana Hi John,

I studied art and the I thing that seems to always be the way is that the great ones were always misunderstood. Hard to understand genius when you are not one yourself. Have a great cruise and don't be afraid to show off your ink since you are a pin up. The Cruzin2some James and Nancy Enslow Dear Christina from above,

I ended up with about 375 or so signatures on my 20" x 30" photo out of 614 crew members. Many were shocked that I wanted them to participate but I wanted them to be included in the final sailing. http://www.mcldet1073.org/holidaysign.jpgI gave Captain Marino a 8x10 photo in a wooden frame of the Holiday that I took in Cozumel last year. It was great seeing several crewmembers that we have not seen in a year.We had a great final toast to the ship on the last night by the aft pool. I had sent Stephanie my cabin info as you requested but I guess it did not get to you or to the ship. We still had plenty of bubbly to go around so it was okay.It was a bit rough on Thursday night and most of Friday. My wife had to comfort a lady on her first cruise. She came out of her cabin up from us. We were in M15. Her makeup was streaming down her face. She was terrified because of the motion, the creaking and wave noise as they crashed off the bow.Michelle got her to calm down and that everything was going to be alright. She explained to her that we have taken many cruises. That yes it was a bit rough but that everything was safe. She convinced her to go to the couches by the Guest Services Desk where there would be less movement. We checked on her a bit later and she was sacked out sleeping on one of the couches. When we got to our cabin, Michelle was in the window going ohhh ahhh as the spray flew up and past the window.Now that we are home, it is a quick repack and we (hopefully) go to Mobile to board the Fantasy on Tuesday. Keeping our fingers crossed with the current weather situation. (maybe we can get larger waves this time)Dave Hi John,

Both my husband and I are artists. And not your greezy back room types either. We are a family of 5 who do charity work and live with standards not held by most "normal" looking people. And while i am used to the stereo-types and the rude comments, i never get enough of the hypocrytical comments made by women with plastic shoved into their bodies.I think that is funny. Hopefully while on our first cruise next week we wont get much of that.And if you are ever in the market for a sweet butt tattoo let me know.I am nowhere near 400 pounds.In fact i am a pin-up model.So there.
