Please Stand By; We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties
It’s been a long time & we don’t want anyone to get the idea we have abandoned this blog or jumped ship or shipwrecked by a cyclone. We are continuing to sail through the beautiful South Pacific seas, taking lots of pictures & composing blog posts. Unfortunately, so far the internet connection has been woefully inadequate to upload postings with lots of pictures (which means lots of data). We can still receive email intermittently (my email works better than Mary’s) & we will still receive by email any comments that are posted on the blog. But blog postings just haven’t worked.
We will continue to try and hopefully will eventually be able to start posting actual voyage episodes to the blog. We don’t know when, but hopefully not too long. Rest assured that eventually all of the voyage will be posted. Meanwhile, for all of you currently buried under tons of snow (and particularly the one of you buried under that snow on our front yard), here is a teaser to keep you from changing to another channel. Those of you who have been here will recognize it; the rest will just have to tune in later to learn where this particular South Seas paradise is.

I was wondering about you guys. Glad for update. Look forward to postings when possible. Love you both.

Thanks for the posting. I was wondering if it wasn’t internet problems as others have commented on the Internet. Some are posting in the wee hours of the morning. I would rather you post later than have you downsize your photos. I know where you are as we have been there. But I won’t spoil the surprise for other viewers. Enjoy! As it definitely comes the closest to paradise that we have ever visited.

Thank you for your update. I just figured that you and Mary were having too much fun to stop and post. Yes, we are overwhelmed by snow but seeing the serenity of this photo calms me down – keep the updates coming.

Glad that everything is OK, except for the internet. Other blog writers have noted the frustration of spending 20 minutes to get ONE photo sent! One HD on the Amsterdam said that ship had the worst internet of the fleet,
Port wifi seems to be the best bet. Hope you are both having the best cruise!! Will wait patiently with the knowledge that your blogs are the best!

Thanks for the posting. No you will both have a great time. Look forward to hearing all the details when you get back.
