Looks like there is a lot of catching up to do. We met with our shipboard family while en route from Le Havre to Ireland and were happy to meet the four students who will be "siblings" to Victoria, Monica, Jane and Sarah from our Spring 2009 voyage. This time we have three young women and a young man in our family. Abbey is from Tempe, Arizona and attends Arizona State, majoring in Global Studies (among other things). Allei is from Lincoln, Massachusetts and is a Marketing major at Bentley College. Kelly is from La Jolla, California (via Taiwan) and is studying Communication Arts at De Anza College (which is very close to where Clark works). Cody is from Bronx, New York and is in Management at Pace University. Our dinner was very nice with everyone making introductions and getting to know one another. We will try to get together again after Spain and make other plans about what we will do as a family. We have one birthday coming up in the family, so will plan to celebrate that.
We did have a "special" dinner with some of the other faculty and spouses on the ship another evening on the way to Ireland. This is a dinner in a separate small dining room and very different food from that we normally get in the main dining rooms. It was a lovely evening with good company and great food.
It would be nice to catch up with Ireland tonight, but we are having such rough seas since leaving there. Tonight is especially rough, and I really can't sit up and write any more. We will be docking in Lisbon in the morning and I will post more then.
