As we have mentioned before, we have booked our next Cruise, a Transatlantic from Barcelona, Spain to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We continue to make more progress on the planning for this cruise vacation. Being that the cruise departs and returns to ports that are a long ways from our home, we have to add […]
Where’s Mr Papa Been?
January 10, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Whew, its been six days since my last post. That’s quite a while for me. I guess going back to work on Monday after a month off wasn’t the best idea. Actually, maybe the long vacation wasn’t the best idea. Sometimes I wonder if its even worth taking vacations. The amount of work while you […]

Wow, the time just flies by when you are on vacation. It hardly seems like its been a week so far, but it has. Luckily, I will still be on vacation for almost another three weeks. The worst part is that it seems like I have accomplished almost nothing of substance done while on vacation. […]

Well, its finally here! Time to go on a cruise. It’s only been a year since our last one, but it seems like a lot longer. I guess the long, arduous year at work with minimal vacation time has made it seem longer. Tomorrow morning we will be driving to San Diego for our Monday […]
