I heard that on the radio last night. I am sad,
loved that TV show. Some how, everyone managed to find someone to love. And usually with a plot twist, they found the person who was there already. Always a happy ending. .. Christopher A.

If Wai Tu Lo landed the Korean plane off the runway,
what's the name of the Chinese fellow who launched the sinking boat? Wi Sunc? .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Other than larger rooms, I don't think I would want one of the now, very large ships. My cruise in 1986 was fun, and you could many of the same faces every day. It was an old boat. I went to the radio room, and saw a guy using a straight key for morse, another looking on. Light bulb attached to antenna transmission line, flashing morse. Greg |

OT, 'Love Boat' Sails Off to the Junkyard
Having lived in the Bay Area for years, actually sitting in the newsroom
back when McCormick(sp?) was there, and bristling at the way US 'news' is presented today. It was very funny to find that Channel 2 actually duplicated the first episode of "Just Shoot Me" The humor was lessened when remembering how many people died, especially saddening: the lady survivor who was hit/run over and killed by the emergency crews upon their arrival.

You stop at a port and go to the local souvenir stands and back to the ship. No in depth visit to see what the place is really like. My niece wanted us to go on a cruise in Europe. Ten days on the ship but only about 42 hours on land. You stopped at a couple of ports in Italy but had to be back to the ship well before dinner time. I want real Italian dining, not cruise ship food a couple of miles off shore. When we go to Italy, we spend two weeks renting a villa and spend time amongst the locals. Much more interesting. |

My maternal relatives are from New York via Naples, Italy so what part of Italy do you regularly visit? My Italian ancestors took a one way cruse to America. ^_^ TDD |

We usually go for a week each in two locations. Last trip was Rosana, outside of Florence, Santa Maria de Castelebate on the shore south of Naples. http://www.villeinitalia.com/houses/BaiaDorata.html Click on more photos and the fourth down was our apartment Close to Amalfi, Salerno, Paestum, Pompeii We stayed here on two different trips http://www.villeinitalia.com/search_...ediRosano.html From here, it is a short trip to Pisa, Sienna, Asissi. Nice drive on the Futa Pass to Bolognia. http://spirit.triumphmotorcycles.com/1/issue7/page11/ We've also been to Venice twice for a couple of days each time. Nice, but expensive and probably won't go back as we saw the highlights. We usually have coffee/tea and maybe an egg for breakfast, then head out for the day. Lunch is our big meal of the day as a nice restaurant. Then we go back to the villa and dinner is usually couple of salamis, cheese, bread, and the mandatory bottle of wine. I enjoy shopping for those things at the local stores. |

No in depth visit to see what the place is really like. _Alaska Inside Passage_ http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ports/group/home.do?portCode=XIP It was my first cruise and a great one. Port excursions included salmon fishing (a company smoked them and mailed after we got home). A float plane trip up to the glaciers on the Juneau river; having fresh salmon lunch family style inside a national historic cabin and watching the bears lick the grill grates and later standing at window looking all the folks. It was a hoot the entire trip. The other five I took were like you say, tourist stuff, but in Mexico we spent a day in the interior rain forest, an other fun stuff on the drive. One port I went charter boat fishing. Neighbor couple just came back from a 4 month world cruise - price was around $60,000. |

I also got to see the foreign country of Californiastan while I worked for an electrical contractor traveling from San Diego to North of San Francisco. It's such a shame the way it's inhabitants are treating such a beautiful and fertile country. ^_^ TDD |

Because of their age, cars and trains are not appropriate.
