getting closer

Well, Mom and I are off on our voyage soon.  We will meet up with the amsterdam (our home away from home) and some of our past grand voyagers in vancouver.  Then some more will join us in LA.  well, just one thing that i'm not looking forward to.  The dreaded lifeboat drill.  Then when we have to tender in to those ports that don't have a pier that is suitable for these big ships.  Oh well, its been a couple yrs. since mom and i were on the amsterdam.  But i know it'll be just like old home week.  We have however, been on other ships in the fleet.  But no ship is better  then the amsterdam.  

since we booked our shore excursions.  holland has revised the itinerary several times.  hopefully this is the last.  They have taken off Cebu and another small island.  They replaced with others in the nearby area.
