Hello Everyone,
Thank you for the feedback regarding the anniversary dinner at Stella's. The date will be changed to June 28th. We will send everyone a list of hotels that we would recommend or you can visit the New Orleans website and browse. The following details are for the February cruise. It is a Princess Cruise on the Crown Princess leaving San Juan at 11pm on Saturday the 16th of February. It will stop in St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Grenada, Bonaire, and Aruba. If anyone is interested, there are still cabins available.

Hi Everybody,
It's two days after Christmas, the roses are in full bloom, and I ate a tomato from the garden. I love the winter. Plans continue to develop. Sue and I will head to Brussels and Munich from the 9th to the 16th of January. I am looking forward to visiting the Grand Place in Brussels and Sue has never been to Munich. We will be visiting with Hideki, Mitchie, and Kohdia Ishikawa when we are in Brussels and will be checking out the restaurants and beer halls in Munich. This trip will also be a good practice run with all our electronic toys to see how we do with the communications. Rachel was home for Christmas so we had plenty of time to discuss the trip to Greece. She will be going back to school this fall so we decided to visit Greece and Crete in early June so she could join us. The specific dates and places will be forthcoming. We have decided that the "aniversary get together" will be the last weekend in July in New Orleans. Details on this will also be following. Only the place has been decided, Stella's.

So the schedule looks like this so far.

January- 9 to 16 Brussels and Munich; January 26th to February 1st- Cuzco and MachuPicchu, Peru
February 15th to 24th- Cruise out of San Juan with Tara and Paulo
March- Yankee and Mets spring training games TBD
April 20th to 27th- Honduras ( Roatan Island to see the reef and then to the Danese wedding
May- TBD
June- Greece
July- New England ( Cape Cod with Hillary, Picnic with Pete and Monica)
- New Orleans on the weekend of the 26th

Yet to be decided.

Merry Christmas 2007

Hi everyone,

Just getting started on the blog. Thought we would try it out before we go on the road. We will update it regularly with pictures from the road. This picture was taken Christmas Eve of one of the roses blooming in our yard.

So far we are planning to be in Machu Picchu at the end of January for Stan's birthday. We will be on a cruise in the Eastern Caribbean in mid February with Tara and Paulo. We have nothing planned for March but are thinking about Istanbul, the northern lights from a place to be determined, or a South American cruise. We are going to a wedding in Honduras in April. Sometime during May/June we are planning to go to Athens and Crete with Rachel. In July, we will have an Anniversary Dinner in New Orleans to which everyone is invited (date to be announced). The second half of the year is still in the planning process.
