Hawaii "09

Hi Folks!
I was surprised and pleased to find out just how many of my friends and co-workers were following my adventures aboard the Mariner of the Sea in her journey around South America and Cape Horn.
Several of you have asked if I would continue to write about my seafaring vacations, and although this blog was created primarily for the 46-night Mariner cruise, I have decided to continue to bring you all along on my future holidays (in spirit anyway).

Up next is a trip that I had promised to my son Ian to celebrate the completion of his degree in Civil Engineering from the University of New Brunswick. We will fly to Honolulu to board the Celebrity ship Millenium for a 12-night cruise around the Hawaiian islands and across the Pacific to Vancouver. We leave on April 25th and will return on May 10th, just in time for Ian to begin his full-time job with the New Brunswick Department of Transportation. This is a return trip for me, as I cruised much the same itinerary on the Serenade of the Seas in 2004 with his late Dad for our 25th wedding anniversary. This will be our first cruise on the Celebrity line, and we are looking forward to a slightly more upscale experience.

Join us as we begin our journey :-)
