pogo i was the only single person on the boat. :angry:

Paul...You picked the WRONG ship! I don't know about San Diego, but we usually board from San Pedro. There is always one ship for "family" and one ship for "singles"...Of course, I haven't been on the "single" ship since I got married. :mrlooney:

it wasnt my choice but i was definitely on the wrong ship!

Guys that was a good one,i laughed my lungs out... :lol:

Dear Paul,fentastic coverage as usual and your camera though looks small,seems to do lots of big work... :hmm::)

Waiting for more intreasting stills.. :drool:

thanks & Love,

Kris :)

love conquers all..

Paul,

Thanks honoring the pais tropical to the south. By the way that tree you also see in Bali is a tropical almond, Terminalia cattapa, I believe. We have a lot of them around here as well. They are pretty weedy trees. I look forward to the rest of the trip.
