Dear Bnickle, While sipping my favorite home coffee, I just finished your amazing travelog. I enjoyed it very much. I feel so blessed that ZB and I had the great pleasure of sharing parts of this great adventure with you and Liverpool. If you guys ever find your way to our city, please be sure to contact us. We have room, and you guys are always welcome. Before I close, let me say your writing style is so wonderful, containing the perfect balance of information, humor, pictures, attention to detail, and a real life perspective making it possible for any reader to relate to the experience being described. Please keep writing! Of course, I don't mean to put everything on this site, but keep writing. You are gifted, and you have a style that puts smiles on faces, whether they drink their coffee at home, or on some cruise ship heading for its next port. You and Liverpool are a beautiful couple, and you compliment each other perfectly. Each time we drink that specific wine we shared on the balcony, which will be often, we will remember the time we shared with you laughing about doughnut bongs, or the school of dolphins that entertained us in the water below.

Dear bnickle and liverpool, just finished Chapter 1 and loving every word. ZB is at the zoo, shocking, I know, and I must run for awhile. Can't wait to get back to continue your wonderful telling of the adventure. I need to do a review also, but it won't be anything like your review. Thank you for sharing your experiences. You do indeed have a wonderful writing style.

DH, I heard about your memoir at a Roll Call for the same cruise in September. I am enjoying your comments very much, and you are sharing good information. Did I read correctly that between putting family first and the cruise lines stealing your money that you have not taken care of one of the most basic needs in life? By that I mean a decent sound system. Let me argue that a system is needed for your kids to be well rounded. How amazing can life be without some Bruce Springsteen, some of the spirituality of Yes, some Cold Play to fix them when they are down, the span of Elton John, or Heaven forbid they are not exposed to the Beatles. Remember, a system is not just for you. Instead, it is for, you know, the kids. So, rush right out and get that system. Wait a minute, that might mean we would have to wait for the next installment. Nevermind!
