My husband declined, and my father declined, but my dad’s girlfriend, Sue, said “Sure, why not!” and so our ladies cruise was born. If you…

40th Birthday Cruise!
Welcome! This year I turned 40, and decided I would celebrate in style by taking a Western Caribbean Cruise on the Norwegian Dawn. We (my husband, Dave & I) managed to score a last-minute balcony upgrade, so we would be sailing in stateroom 9076. My dad & Sue were joining us in balcony room 11118….
2012 Anniversary Cruise to Bermuda
My husband’s & my 10th anniversary is this year, and we decided to celebrate by taking a seven night cruise from New York to Bermuda on the Norwegian Star. I’ve sailed NCL twice, but this will be Dave’s first sailing with any line other than Disney Cruise Line. Before I start the recap of our…
North to Alaska!
This year my dad kindly invited me to join him on an Alaskan adventure. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse, and so we booked a Glacier Bay cruise on the NCL Pearl out of Seattle. While we’ve sailed NCL before, this would be our first time on the Pearl, and what an amazing week…

Sparkling Sake
One thing I forgot to mention is that in the Japan pavillion of Epcot I tried sparkling sake, and it was DELICIOUS!! Hana Awaka was the brand I tried, and am now on the lookout for. If anyone offers you a sample of sparkling sake, say yes!

So I’m still waiting for my settlement check from VW, which should be arriving any day now. 🙂 In a couple of days I’ll be flying to Baltimore to meet my dad & on his way up to visit. Then we’ll be visiting Hersheypark on our way back to CT. I love Hersheypark – the…
Hooray for the Lemon Law!
I recently had a recurring problem with my passenger side headlight on my VW Beetle – it kept going out. After the third time it broke I went online and found Lemon Law attorneys (www.lemonlaw.com), who thought I had an excellent case and opted to represent me. Yesterday I received word that VW had agreed…
