Good Morning America
Good Morning America how are you, I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans I’ll be gone five hundred mile before the day is done. It’s Saturday morning at the time of this writing and I cannot reflect enough of God’s bountiful blessings upon the great land we call home. No other people on earth for which we also call home have such blessings as ours. I think often of this song in the early seventies which I believe reflect America at its time. Mark Twain once quoted” Nothing is safe while legislation is in session” Here we find ourselves in fierce opposition of our elected leaders to turn our country into a socialist nation. I’m very blessed to able to travel abroad in our North American waters to a few of the banana republics to see what life is like and I wish we can give the these great peoples our bill of rights and see how the Caribbean region can transform itself. I truly believe give our wonderful Mexican brethren the right to own guns and see if the corrupt government officials go away. More thoughts to come………………my entire loved ones on FB Land Please visit my blogspot and commit. I love you all! MAN!

A time in Belize
Well it is 8 am and not 7 "Like you know spring forward, Like" I have allot to do like grocery shopping, auto repair just miner stuff. Now onto Major things like my Belize trip. It's a tiny country at the base of the Yucatan Peninsula just under Mexico. The dense rain forest is dotted with Mayan ruins and is also home to wide range of tropical wildlife, ranging from jaguars,ocelots, keel boated macaws and howler monkeys. Offshore is the second largest barrier reef in the world. We had planned on the cave tubing for the day, but because of high season rain the excursion was canceled, so instead we booked a snorkel trip on board a party boat going out several miles among the mangroves away from the Grand Princess to the reef. What a day, it felt like swimming in an aquarium, we where also blessed with the nurse shark"yikes" but, was told not to worry he is very shy. Later that day my daughter and I took the longest tender boat in to Belize City, where it took us ten minutes to get there. Wewalked along the pier, observed some remodeling being done, bought my usual Coffey mug, hat pin and tea shirt of course and back to the ship, what a wonderful day............ now unto Cozumel.
Now until next time!
Lov ya!

Cruise Dreamin'
It's Saturday morning and about 8 am, I find myself writing this blog after a bowl of honey nut cheerios along with 4 cups of Jo w/ vitamins plus OJ , I'm raring to go. It's hard to believe it has been one year since my last cruise with loved ones. We debarked from the Crown Princess at Port Everglades and drove out and toured the everglades on the fan boats to view the alligators, just like watching "Flipper" from days past, how cool. I'm anxious to get on another cruise. I've been blessed to have sailed 13 times in 7 years and only 1 solo. What can I say about the cruise experience, it truly is like no other vacation on earth, there is no other way to see the world from the comfort a nice stateroom, wake up and find yourself in a new country, rested and ready to experience a new culture along w/ it's customs, flavors,aromas, sight and scenes.......... photo above taken on Crown Princess at the aft above the sky lounge deck during the sea day return to Ft. Launderdale.............more to come.
Love ya!
