To Richmond Over Ice and Snow!

Jean and Woody did a harrowing drive over ice and snow from Norfolk to Richmond last night.

Their Delta flight was cancelled, BUT Jet Blue was still flying out of Richmond.

After rescuing their cat, Vynnie, from under the house in a blizzard, they hit the road in their pick up truck. We were on pins and needles until we heard they were safely in a Richmond hotel last night.

The word this morning: They had passed through security at the airport and should be able to meet us at the cruise pier today.

Keeping our fingers crossed for their safe arrival!

That's all for now.

Snow in Virginia - Very bummed

Up early so I can finish packing and be ready to leave our house in ATL at 9:00 a.m.

My cousin, Jean, and her husband, Woody, are stranded in Norfolk. Snow, snow, snow. All flights cancelled.

The NCL Jewel sails tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. Can they make it? I will be heartbroken if they can't.

My Cousin is Stuck in Norfolk!

A pending snowstorm has resulted in all flights out of Norfolk, VA to be cancelled. My cousin, Jean, and her husband, Woody, are supposed to arrive in Miami, stay at our hotel, and cruise with us.

We're all pretty upset right now.

They are now scheduled on a Sunday morning flight that will land them in Ft. Lauderdale at 1:58 p.m. The ship sails at 4:00 p.m.

Noooooooooooooo!! I don't want them to miss this cruise!!

They do have trip insurance. That is the only bright spot.

Headed Out Tomorrow with New Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 Camera

My new digital camera has arrived. Yahoo! Its a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 digital that shoots video as well.

I hope to take lots of good pictures and some video of the NCL Jewel and our shore excursions in Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya, and Great Stirrup Cay.

The Old Broad is ready to begin packing. Hope Atlanta doesn't get any snow tomorrow!

New Panasonic DMC-ZR1 Camera!

Really excited! My Panasonic DMC-ZR1 digital camera is now in hand. Will use it for the cruise - as soon as I figure it out!

Today is for hair, nails, and toes. Still haven't packed.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Possible snow for Atlanta on Friday night. Hope we don't have flight delays on Saturday morning. Looking forward to Miami sunshine!

Still no Gem Godmother video - Try again.

NCL Gem Godmother Entry

Okay. I'm not having any luck getting a video uploaded.

I just linked to YouTube in a attempt to pick up the video I made for the NCL Gem Godmother Contest. (I didn't win, but I did submit a video entry.)

We did a Halloween cruise on the NCL Sun, and this video has me on our balcony, at Bannister Island, in my Medusa costume, and dinner outfit.

Let's see if I can get something up on this blog!
