Ides of March Posted November 12, 2005 #1451 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Dear Grumpy: I am on next years World Voyage leaving Lauderdale on Jan 5th. One of the few common itinerary portions with your odyssey is the amazon. I am particularly interested in your pics of that leg. Will you be posting them soon or ever? Your travel blog became addictive and I really miss it but have bought 1000 satellite minutes so hope to do one similar for family and friends. Many thanx IOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy1 Posted November 13, 2005 Author #1453 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Grumpy......... is that you and Slinky pictured on page 21 of the Fall 2005 Mariner magazine? It is a very fine picture even if you are sailing under the assuned names of Smith. In any event they obviously are the best lookers on those two pages. Guilty as charged, hapagcolumbus... and thanks for the compliment. Too bad they didn't get the names right, though...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanx IOM OK, Slinkie and Grumpy are settled back in here in Florida, so Grumpy had better get the last albums posted. Thanks for the reminder. Will you be posting on a CruiseCritic thread, or as private Email for family and friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 13, 2005 #1455 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi Grumpy, Just a quick thought for the day........ Way back in the postings there was some discussion about how many posts this thread would run to....... I was bold enough to predict 1,500.

Ides of March Posted November 13, 2005 #1456 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I look forward to the remaining pictures. I probably will post on a CC Board but am somewhat intimidated because your a tough act to follow. Somewhere in your thread I remember someone else said they were going to emulate you by describing the 2006 World Voyage but I suppose two blogs can be accommodated. Might be neat to get two perspectives. I have started a CC Roll Call for the cruise but as yet not one reply. I wonder if we will have the Prinsendam to ourselves. Thanks again.

Grumpy1 Posted November 13, 2005 Author #1457 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Karen and Bob (atseadaze) are planning on being on the 2006 GWV and doing a commentary. It will be good if you both do commentaries... different perspectives on the same events are always interesting... Slinkie did a journal for family and friends but did not put it on the web. She should have, though... it was very good and from a little.. well... maybe a lot different perspective than Grumpy's journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauderdale, heading for Brizal and the Amazon. Again thank you Grumpy for all your postings and pictures.

blue whale Posted December 18, 2005 #1466 Share Posted December 18, 2005 But threads such as this one have a big impact on us other pax. We decided to do the world cruise with HAL in 07 and also to sail on Prinsendam in 06 to west Africa—based on all the good feedback from this post. Not only do we learn from the mistakes of others but from their successes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of us who read these boards who really, really appreciate reading travelogues from such exotic trips because that is the only way we can take them right now. So, please ... don't worry about how many others post travelogues from the same voyage. We love to read them ALL! Blue skies ... --rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegiekat Posted December 28, 2005 #1468 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes, please do post. I just discovered this thread a week ago and have enjoyed it so very much. I did find myself wishing I had been able to read it while they were traveling. I will be on the lookout this January for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williebill Posted January 2, 2006 #1469 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I hear from a very good source that the traveling duo will be at it again in 2007. My DW and I wish we were going with you again, we certainly have been incouraged by HAL. We will be traveling on the Westerdam to Alaska later this year; wish the two of you were joining us for that cruise. Have a Happy New Year.

Traveller1 Posted January 2, 2006 #1470 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Grumpy & Slinkie --a very Happy New Year to you both. I really hope that someone will post about the world cruise again this year---I printed it all out and have it in 2 binders--what a lot of pleasure you gave us through that cold winter last year. It was a delight to read your impressions of all the places you visited. Thanks again to you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wait, I guess I posted that rumor... We sure would enjoy sailing with you guys again someday. I just booked the Westerdam for the Halloween cruise... Caribbean, not Alaska. There's no way Slinkie is going to go to opposite ENDS of the earth in a couple of months time. Opposite sides, yes. Ends, No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
