OK, we're doing it again.

5,000 mile cruise from Ft. Lauderdale, to Ft. Lauderdale, and back to Fort Lauderdale.

Well, well. We resolved not to take another cruise until at least April, 2014. We'll do that, but meanwhile it got cold and yucky here in Colorado. So, we're off on another "mindless" Caribbean cruise and then no doubt some travels before the "big one" next Spring. Details on that one will be forthcoming.

Meanwhile we spend a few days in Fort Lauderdale and then embark Silver Spirit, the largest and newest of Silversea Cruises traditional cruise ships for back to back Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. Looking forward to seeing dear friends in Florida and on the ship and having some (good?) adventures. And there's always the opportunity of poking some fun at those other passengers--I don't call them "guests" unless they are comp'ed the cruise as I was years ago but not now, for heaven's sake--but not too much sarcasm, I promise. Kinda.

I promise also not to post too many words, favoring pictures that I hope speak for themselves. Remember that you can click on most of the pictures in the posts to get larger, high resolution images. (Try clicking on the one above, say.)

And during the trip you might want to check out my Facebook page for "bonus" content and other comments.

This new blog will be expanded over the Winter to include some reports of trips we do until the next new blog series as well as the usual deep philosophical insights(?). You betcha. I'll send out notices occasionally but by all means do check the blog from time to time since I won't be annoying you with too frequent e-mails whenever I upload a new post. I promise that, too.

So, where did I put that sunscreen and DEET spray?
