On October 20, 2003 at 4PM we set sail aboard the Carnival Victory for our New
England Cruise.
Our first get together was our Life Boat Drill. This took place before we
sailed.
At dinner the first evening we all wore our bright red t-shirts, compliments of
the Cruise Connection. See photos # 12-22. We turned a few heads
with these shirts. Word of caution, tone down your screen or wear your sun
glasses. Lil and I chose the color and we really didn't think they would
be so bright. We will tone it down for next time.
Our first port of call was Boston, MA. It was a beautiful
warm Sunday afternoon, many sail boats in the harbor. Some of us took
tours, and some just meandered on our own through Quincy Market. Dick,
Marty Sippel, George Miller, Bud Fourney and myself met our former president Lou
Sinagra. We were all glad to see each other. We spent an hour with
Lou just reminiscing.
On Monday, we stopped at Portland Maine. Tuesday was a day at sea,
Wednesday we docked at Sydney, NS, Thursday we arrived in Halifax NS and Friday
was a day at sea. We arrived back in New York early Saturday morning and
we were back to reality. The ports of call were interesting and great for
shopping.
Of course, we took our usual group photo,
then we all got together for our cocktail party, hosted by the cruise line
and our Association. It happen that the room the cruise line gave us was
called the Red and Black Sea Room. As you can see in our pictures, we all kind
of blended in with the decor.
We pulled into New York Harbor early Saturday morning. The
end of another great cruise put together by Dick and Claire Hamann. Thanks
guys, you did it again. Outstanding job!!!!
