. . . . continued from my post a few minutes ago under the "Natural Beauty" thread.

Tomorrow, we are heading south. We have already packed and the computer goes to ICU for repairs this afternoon. So without a computer, what can we do? How about a cruise? We drive to Tampa, a city I have never really seen, jump on a Holland America ship and sail for assorted islands in the western Carribean. We had wanted to sail through the Panama Canal, but that didn't work out so we awarded ourselves the consolation prize. The ship is the Veendam which we have sailed on once before, so we should feel very much at home. This will be cruise number 8 for us and I can truthfully say that I have never been ready to leave the ship. I get off thinking of the next cruise.

So when you look out the window next week, and it's cold with rain or snow, think about me in that hot tub on deck 12. eeeeAhhhhhhWHO!
