Travels with Lisa Posted June 14, 2021 #29 Share Posted June 14, 2021 For some reason, Azamara and other cruise lines continually sent me letters "Dear Lisa" and my good friend's mother who had dementia started calling me Lisa as well. We have done trips with a group called Travel with Alan, so I combined the two. Liz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Dukes Posted June 15, 2021 #31 Share Posted June 15, 2021 My daughter-in-law has always called me “Mama Dukes”. I couldn’t think of another name when I signed up, so I became Mrs.Dukes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2travel90266 Posted June 15, 2021 #33 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Mine is not nearly as creative but between golf trips, wine tasting trips, driving trips, cruising trips it made sense. The numbers are simply my zipcode. Unfortunately we have been tethered to our home due to the pandemic for too long. Now if we can just stop having trips cancelled on us so we can get back to our passion of visiting new places around the globe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading that the numbers are your zip code (my guess was birthdate), I immediately thought, thanks to a certain TV show, "Oh, they must be in California!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups Posted June 15, 2021 #35 Share Posted June 15, 2021 My first personal email address was a combination of my initials and my university. A friend told me once she always incorrectly read it as "hiccups." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithikan Posted June 15, 2021 #41 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Our first Azamara cruise was a 14-night jaunt around the Med in 2009: Athens to Rome via Alexandria, Ashdod, Cyprus, Turkey, several stunning Greek islands, etc., etc. That itinerary has not been repeated. I'm a huge Homer fan and grabbed Ulysses for my CC name, later forgot the password and so changed over to his home island of Ithaca. (BTW I'm a woman, and received a few surprised glances during that sailing's MM get together.) This is an interesting thread! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work in to Cruise 2023 Posted June 15, 2021 #42 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I am currently employed and very lucky to receive a substantial hourly wage. I was considering early retirement (my husband retired 5 years ago) then realized my salary provided the funds to allow us to travel extensivly without depleating our investments. Plus I have the added luxury of the opportunity to take Self Funded Leaves - I work 18 months and the employer will take a portion of each pay and invest it, then I when take six months off - to travel of course! - and will still receive my monthly salary from the money the employer invested. Hence Work'n to Cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiga Posted June 15, 2021 #44 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Twiga means "giraffe" in Swahili. I lived in Nairobi during college and after graduation. My friends at the University of Nairobi called me Twiga because I am tall. Plus, I love giraffes! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted June 15, 2021 #46 Share Posted June 15, 2021 My CruiseCritic name and profile picture* are a tribute to Al 'Jazzbo' or 'Jazzbeaux' Collins – a DJ and terminal hipster on various stations in NYC and SF back in the day. You could look it up: https://bayarearadio.org/audio/al-jazzbeaux-collins-jazzbo * I have never worn a goatee! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtravelbug Posted June 16, 2021 #47 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Very interesting! PATravelBug is fairly self explanatory. It was my mom's account and after she died I was going through her accounts and found this one. And kept it. My Dad introduced me to Azamara. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trk_koa Posted June 16, 2021 #48 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Mine’s the combination of the airport identifiers of two of my favorite places I used to live. TRK is Truckee, CA and KOA is Kona. I do wish I hadn’t used the underscore. It’s a pain to type on an iPad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
