Andrew!!!! 
Hey yall - guess what I posted on our Repo cruise?
Anyone care to hazard a guess?
Yikes - I've been caught - still trying to unpack and now I'm getting the evil eye! Anyway, speaking of "catching" people - I caught a certain elusive person - at the top of the Leaning tower - I think they were evading all of us. However, reports and evidence show that they did attend the cruise -
Gosh - gotta go - be back to post later. On to my second suitcase!

BTW, I am still 
for that picture of the elusive Porter family but I haven't uploaded those yet. Soon - very soon.
THAT would have been great!
Hey guys, I was going through some of my pics and saw this one of the moon on the night we sailed from Barcelona... Notice anything familiar?
And a close-up
Wow, what beautiful memories........your family looks fabulous!!!!!!!!Hi Everyone,
Things are slowly getting back to normal- as normal as they can be under the circumstances.
Matthew and Leah's wedding in St. Augustine, Fla. was beautiful. There were 210 guests -some who travelled from as far away as Saudi Arabia!
My DD Amy was a bridesmaid, DS Andrew was Best man, and my nephew was a junior usher.
Leah was a beautiful bride and Matthew a very handsome groom!
Leah's grandfather who is a pastor and missiionary, performed the wedding ceremony. They wrote their own vows. It was very moving.
The reception was wonderful. It was a delicious buffet prepared by the Italian chef and his wife who own the small resturant Matthew worked at during college. A band played many old songs - Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett,etc. and some new songs,too.They played my dad's favorite song- Let Me Call You Sweetheart.
I am so glad we went ahead with the wedding. It was good for all of us even though at times it was difficult.My dad would have been very proud of Matthew.
They spent their honeymoon in Hawaii and arrived safely home today.
I'll try and post more pictures in a couple of days.

), and Eze -- what a fun day that was for us!Hey yall - guess what I posted on our Repo cruise?

Ok since we're sharing pictures - here's one of my favorites - not sure why it is - its not all that interesting but the hues in real life were astonishing. The picture doesn't do it justice but here it was just before 7 and as we were getting into Tenerife.
Here's a favorite memory of mine -- an absolutely adorable waiter we had in Florence -- nothing more fun than a good lunch with lots of silly flirting:
Dang Nabbit - April just called - she needs to be picked up and photobucket was just zipping along oh well, here's one I just downloaded just now - this is the back end of the Vatican Museam tour. By this time, I was AGAIN LAGGING behind and was just literally running down the hall with my camera pointed up shooting at the ceiling while the group was like a mile ahead of me. I didn't catch much of what she was saying other than to hear these were mostly all gifts to the Pope from over the years. I missed the Moon rock and would have loved to have seen where it was but by the time I got there - they had already moved on.
This is at the end of the tour and is on the ceiling - yes - I was just running and pointing up and catching what I could without flash. Hope you all like!

Thx for two great memories and reflections!!!! I'm glad Julie that you were sharing your quotes before the trip, my favorite part WAS WAITING FOR THE TRIP WITH EVERYONE!! Of course sailing together was also great, but the prep was excellent between the lanyards, pirates, quotes, countdowns and let's not forget..........BRIT CHAT!!!!
leaving for the weekend again) I can send you once I got them all loaded up into this dinosaur. My new laptop is single and slow. So I can send you a link if you want or an attachment. I upload them to photobucket small so as not to take up much space. They look really clear and more detailed when you view it on your screen. LOL

I didn't know Susan Egan, though. That must have been exciting to see her.
Lol - I actually recognized your daughter in the pic.
I noticed this picture when browsing through the thousands we took on vacation -- this is on the tender boat going into La Spezia, looking back at the Magic -- Andrew, see you and Susan looking back at the ship!
