Thursday we leave on a flight to Vancouver to begin our long awaited Alaskan cruise adventure onboard the Celebrity Mercury. The ship doesn’t actually depart Vancouver until Friday, but we get into Vancouver pretty late and won’t have time to enjoy the city. In fact, we are just staying at an airport hotel with plans […]
Finally, Cloudcroft Trip Picutres Available
June 2, 2007 by 2 Comments
If you remember, last December, we took a trip to Cloudcroft, NM for five days to spend some time with Suzanne’s family in a mountain cabin. It was a nice, fun family reunion between Christmas and New Years. It’s only six months later, but finally, we have uploaded our many photos from that trip. It […]

With the recent relaunch of Cruise Talk Central and its completely redone layout and look, I have added in the capability for us to upload our cruise videos to that site. To save on space, I have decided to only host our cruise videos over at Cruise Talk Central. This is a bit different from […]
School Year Winding Down
May 23, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The school year for the kids is winding down. As usual, as the year ends, there seems to be a never ending stream of events at the school. Last week was weird week for the kids. One day they dressed up as mismatched as they could. They looked pretty ridiculous, but I imagine they fit […]
Cruise Talk Central Redesign
May 20, 2007 by 2 Comments
My internet connection got stable enough for me to launch the redesigned Cruise Talk Central today. My speed still sucks, but at least it held long enough for me to do the upgrade. I redesigned the site to allow for easier navigation, more straight forward grouping of information and to give Suzanne a place to […]

You probably remember my recent posts about the recent Celebrity Mercury refurbishment and how our cabin we had booked for the Alaskan cruise this summer was being upgraded. Well, the Mercury has finished it’s dry dock refurbishment and is back in service. We now have a photo of the Mercury back in service complete with […]
Celebrity Mercury in Dry Dock
April 16, 2007 by 2 Comments
As mentioned before, our cruise to Alaska onboard the Celebrity Mercury is approaching. I also mentioned, quite gleefully I am sure, that Mercury would be undergoing a refurbishment prior to our cruise in which our cabin would get a balcony added to it. The time has come and Mercury is now in dry dock. Below, […]
Celebrity Mercury Upgrade
April 9, 2007 by 8 Comments
In June, we will be cruising to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury. It’s been 14 years since we have cruise to Alaska, so it will be nice to go back. When we last cruised to Alaska, I don’t think we ever had more than our ship in port. A cruise to Alaska was not […]

Well, last night we finally made an executive decision on the plane tickets to Vancouver. We ended up using frequent flier miles for 2 tickets and purchasing outright 2 tickets. We will have to go out of the way through Dallas to get there, but the total expense for the 4 of us to get […]
