Good Morning Everyone,<br /><br />Yesterday was a very busy day at work and did not get any time to post anything.<br />This December we will be going on the Gem for New Years Eve.<br />As I said in a  a previous post we are celebrating our 35th Anniversay and renewing our Vows.<br />We have bee cruising for many years.  Our very first cruse was on the NCL Norway.<br />It was a grand old ship.  Our daughters grew up cruising with us.  Now they are married their husbands and<br />them join us on a summer cruise.  The daughters are school teachers and this is the best time for them.<br />The will be joining us on our New Years/Anniversay cruise.  We have been on NCL, Princess, Holland America,<br />Carnival, Celebrity and Crown.  I don&#39;t like to fly so we drive to most ports.  We live in Maryland and have driven<br />to Florida, Texas, New Orleans, Boston, and New York many times.  We are  booked on a cruise out of Baltimore this summer.  It will be nice to leave from Maryland.<br /><br />Received our luggage tags yesterday in the mail for our upcoming cruise.<br />It will seem strange leaving in the cold weather and ending up in the warm weather.<br />Who knows it might even snow.  We think it will be fun and a wonderful adventure.<br /><br />Take care and keep cruising<br />dothow
