I don't know if you are doing well, but I can see you are doing a lot of cruises! I would like to think that our cruising paths will cross some day (not on different ships though because that is called a collision). David March 30, 2015 Miraflores Locks David, you and Marcia have done quite a bit of cruising, too! I actually have slacked off a bit in the past few years. Work demands, health of parents, and the addition of two large pups that are a handful/cost more than a cruise to board (lol) have kept me at home. I retired the last day of January, so hopefully there will be opportunity to get on board more often! Hoping to take a short retirement celebration voyage in May in my favorite balcony cabin ever (see photo 🙂), but I suspect that trip may be cancelled due to current events. 😞 Edited March 28, 2020 by patrioticgirl added pictures 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted March 28, 2020 #277 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) @patrioticgirl Gina, that is one stunning balcony!! I’m sorry if you miss out on it but it sounds like that you’ve been lucky enough to have sailed in it already. Oh, and congrats on your retirement earlier this year!

David @mahdnc David, I am happy just to be on a ship in any kind of a cabin, but those aft cabins, especially the corners, are totally awesome. Truth be told, I have only sailed in a balcony 8 times and all but two of those times were last minute bookings made when I managed to find an aft at a rate that did not kill my pocketbook. 😉 My most memorable cruise day ever was the sail away from Venice in a center aft that I accidentally stumbled upon two months prior to sailing. A great deal and I had a substantial airline credit from a bump I had taken earlier that year, so it was off to Europe solo for 15 days. Best trip ever! 🙂 Edited March 28, 2020 by patrioticgirl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mahdnc Posted March 29, 2020 #296 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Dec 24 2016 Infinity sailing, 15 Nights Valparaiso to Buenos Aires. This photo was taken on Dec 30 at our stop in Punta Arenas, Chile. On that day, we visited Isla Magdalena and saw the wonderful Magellenic penguin colony there. Those guys were everywhere and so was their poo which meant you have to carefully frame your shot! I was lucky enough to see this fellow off by himself in the distance and was able to capture him with a telephoto lens which helped blur the lighthouse in the background. It is a favorite photo of mine because, well I feel like that penguin on some days--especially at work! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantheral Posted March 29, 2020 #298 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Ibiza was one of those wonderful surprises for me! I had the impression it was all about the partying and the beaches....what l feel in love with was the walled fortress town with its tunnels and ramparts and beautiful churches, and wonderful flowers and cafes down each narrow passageway... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
