Good Morning Bears, I've been up for a while watching all the excitement in DC. It's really is amazing to see all the crowds and there seems to be a huge wave of optimism. I have to got to work for 1pm so I'll just have enough time to watch the Swearing In and hear the speech. I've got my tvo going to see the parade later.

Patti that story about the funeral was so funny if a funeral could ever be funny. I'm sure you'll all appreciate going to lunch while the cemetary staff take care of auntie.

Brens we'll be getting off the Radiance on the 11th also but I think we'll be going right to the airport or on an excursion with airport drop-off but we'll try to leave the ship in good shape for y'all.

Wow Brenda,such nice cruises...........lucky you!!

Morning everyone......................it's a beautiful sunny but cold day.

again to Brens. You'll fit in just fine......................especially on some of those nights when the bar is opened and everyone is pouring here in the den and the posts sometimes get a little jumbled. Luckily I don't drink, so I'm the Sgt. at arms!!

I do hope that you can make the Mystery Cruise.............

Sheila.............did you get your new flights yet for BA?

Off to have my hair done........................check back later.

great lists Kathy, thanks for including me.

thanks for the welcome patti--rodeo is fixing to start, so my posting time will belimited to late night, so I'll fit right in!!!

Morning All, Been up for hours, but watching the TV on this historical occasion...
Can't believe all the people (can't see a patch of green anywhere)...
Will check back later, expecting SNOW SHOWERS tonight, Yes this is FLORIDA!!! We had lots of wind last night too...

Snow?? Where??? None expected for here...............

Just stopping by to check in. Again running errands, got get Aunt all set before we take off on Thursday.

Mani/pedi this afternoon, be back later

Morning everyone!

We got home yesterday, and I tried to post but then our internet went down again! I am not happy with this new fiberoptic/wireless what ever it is!

Welcome Brenda! I remember you! I think I gave you a cookie recipe?


Well I called Princess, and Jean #1 you were right! I can't book the Princess as a b2b, something about near foreign ports versus distant foreign ports.

Anyway, so we looked at the train schedule, and as Jean #2 said, there is just one train, and it doesn't leave Vancouver until almost 6:00 pm, so not sure how much scenery we would get to see. So I did a little more checking, and it turns out that we can take a different cruise line from Vancouver to Seattle just not the one we come in on. So we will get off the Star Princess in Vancouver and get on the Holland America Westerdam and continue to Seattle! Crazy huh! I'm calling it our May madness adventure!

Will try and catch up on all the posts later, hope everyone is okay, and had a good weekend.

Calling for snow flurries tonight in Tampa...Channel 8 Steve Jerve from yesterday...

Got up early this Am to watch the Inauguration too and was so happy to see and hear the prayer of our pastor at the beginning. Got an email almost right away from Dianne (Happy2fly) in Texas...remember she and Jim from the Polar Bear cruise?....that she enjoyed what Pastor Rick had to say. Good to hear from her.

Jean...thanks for the Lemon Drop recipe....is making my mouth water...even this early in the AM....hope to have one with you on the 20th...but nothing has come through yet....if it does...you have A DATE!!!

Well, guess I should go get my workout clothes on and get out of here!

Hugs, Mar~

Hello Polar Bears!

My DH Greg and I are so delighted to be joining you all on this cruise. We were invited by Jill & Dave (jillybabes), who we met in 2005 on the Mariner of the Seas. We consider them a part of our family. It is amazing how many great people you can meet when cruising. That goes for all you Polar Bears too! Truly looking forward to getting to know you over the next few months/years!


Learning how to navigate this website.........so bear with me .

Welcome Cruisemasters!........any friend of my Sis is a friend of mine

jul

Awesome shots Jen!

Thanks Jul !!!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, CRUISEMASTERS, we look forward to chatting and getting to know you.

Jen--what a great sunset

I spent my day almost entirely glued to the TV. My poor dogs haven't had their walks yet - Blanca gave up woofing at me and is all depressed. I did go out for a gentle dance lesson that wasn't at all hard on the ankle. I'm lucky that I usually heal quickly!

I'm having trouble with My Cruises - I can't add cruises to the account. C&A can't explain it - what else is new? But on the positive side, I'm getting to be friendly with Kathy on the Diamond desk - she always seems to pick up in the afternoon.

I think I'll take pity on my dogs now that the only thing going on is that the First Family is getting dressed.

Jill-thanks for the good wishes. it really is cold for FL. Sure do hope we get a warm up very soon.

Mar--Pastor Warren was wonderful, so glad he was selected

Cruisemasters to Cruise Freeks.

Welcome Sharon & Greg...Looking forward to getting to know you!

Nancy - I'll say Bon Voyage now (like Jill), I seem to always be late.

Jean - I hope you walked those puppy dogs!

Wishing you all warmer days...last two days have been beautiful, but rain is expected (which we desperately need) and cooler weather again.
