We're back

Joanandjoe · December 8, 2006

We came back from our wonderful Noordam cruise on Wednesday morning, and had a great time. The ship is very large by our standards, but what's not to like about a suite? We would still prefer a smaller ship; but we would sail on the Noordam again if we find the right itinerary. That will not be the Caribbean,

We even loved the Caribbean, despite being uncomfortably hot most of the trip. (So after this, our second Caribbean cruise, we're unlikely to have a third one.) The six islands seemed different from each other, and were quite intersting. Both of us, however, had trouble dealing with the tropical sun. Our next cruise, probably in 2008, will be to some place where its cool or warm, but not hot. I (Joe) may be the only person you can think of who was uncomfortable at 85 degrees and sunny in the Caribbean, but comfortable this morning walking before daybreak in New Jersey in 15 degree, 15 mile wind, weather. Chacun a son gout!

My office still is very busy. I was in contact by internet twice a day during the cruise, and I was back at work from my home by Wednesday afternoon. I expect to work Sunday, and possibly Saturday as well, this weekend; so my review will have to wait awhile.
