Onboard the ms Zuiderdam

Sitting at my desk on board the Zuiderdam.

Back on Board

I re-joined the MS Zuiderdam on Feb 9th, 2008.

What's Next For Me...

Returned home from Budapest on Jan. 31st, 2008. Received my next sailing assignment ... heading back on the m/s Zuiderdam on Feb. 9th, 2008. Going to spend a month on the ship in the Caribbean, and then do the 18-day crossing to the Mediterranean (similar to what I did the same time last year). What's even better, my sister Candi is going to join me as family member on board for the crossing. Here is the itinerary for the crossing...

• Ft. Lauderdale, FL
• Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
• Funchal, Madeira Islands, Portugal
• Lisbon, Portugal
• Cadiz, Spain
• Casablanca, Morocco
• Barcelona, Spain
• Monte Carlo, Monaco
• Livorno, Italy
• Civitavecchia, Italy

Will keep you posted with photos!!

Budapest, Hungary

Esztergom, Hungary

Sturovo, Slovakia

View of Sturovo, Slovakia situated just across the Danube from Esztergom, Hungary. The Maria Valeria bridge separates the two cities (and countries) at this border crossing. Since its construction in 1895, the bridge has been been destroyed twice -- most recently during World War II -- and rebuilt both times. From Esztergom, it's just a short walk across the bridge to visit another country!
