Well, the game plan for this weekend to travel to my mother's with Rachel and Luke has been thwarted.  We are resolved to hang around where we are getting many things done. We will be ready for Spring!!  Then let our traveling to places near and far begin.  Please Mr. Sun we are awaiting for brighter, warmer days!!!

 Mark and I had a wonderful time with 15 of the Petrella family on our very first CRUISE! Yes, it was Carnival, Ecstasy.  No problems. We ported in Freeport and Nassau, Bahamas as well as Key West, Florida. This a a replica of the original chapel in The Garden of the Grove in Freeport.
We enjoyed a day with Mark's mom, Mille
(who turned 83 the week before), Louie and John.

We loved Key West the best and hope to visit again for several days so we can take it all in.  6hrs was not long enough.

Our Porter and Wait staff were truly amazing.  All the details always attended to.  Loved coming in at night to find out what they folded our towels/washcloths into next...

I'm ready to go again and looking at the next possibility!  Maybe a 4-5 day out of Boston up to Canada?  Might be great whale watching.  Mark might wait a few years though.  Not seasick but felt like he was on the ship for about a week after we arrived home.

Lent

This is a time to reflect. Make positive changes. Find fullness in faith. Take the 40 day journey. Start today :)

Hooray! Mark and I are making plans for an exciting year of travels.  Some with the teens and some with out.  Hoping for great weather in our destinations and many pictures opportunities.  Keep checking us out and see what fun place we discover!

Too long

We haven't been traveling in so long. I am starting to get stir crazy. Planning on many travels in 2013!
Stay tuned!!!
