Dear Friends, It’s early on Monday morning and we are docked in New York City, ready to disembark. What a night! We hit a terrible storm with 15-foot waves again. Proud to say that neither of us got sick but it was close about midnight! I was dosed up on Bonine and another seasick medicine […]
Dear Friends, I’m sorry that my blogging has been so sporadic, but our internet connectivity has been hit or miss. So I’m doing the best I can. Our cabin steward just stopped me in the hall to let me know that he would be bringing in our veranda furniture for tonight because the weather is […]
Dear Friends, I posted some of these pictures on Facebook, but for those who aren’t on FB, here’s another rendition. We loved the town of Halifax, Nova Scotia and especially Peggy’s Cove, which is a tiny but scenic fishing village about thirty minutes from downtown.

As always, we had a special time and fantastic lunch with them and their daughter Muriel. Josée makes her own […]

As we glided down the canal off the Rhine on Sunday morning, we loved the manicured banks, peaceful green fields, flocks of sheep and multiple ponds where they have built the natural dykes associated with the entire area. The darn weather was overcast and […]
Bonjour, This morning I am awake early writing about our day yesterday in Cologne, Germany. We experienced the time change “fall back” last night so an extra hour of sleep for those who can adjust in one night. That’s never the case with me. The weather is still quite cool but we have managed to […]
Bonjour! We have been busy over the past couple of days. It’s just exceedingly hard work to have this much fun, and we’re exhausted! Food, food and more food and excursions, entertainment, laughter, strolling…all are just consuming us! Many thanks to Doris Todd at Custom Travel for putting together our Burritt Cruisers group again this […]
