Istanbul, not Constinoble

Well we are on the last leg of our world cruise tour. It has absolutely flown by. We are in Istanbul, Turkey and flying back home tomorrow. As our internet connection is less than great here in our hotel, I'll wait to post pictures and video. I can safely say the highlight of our tour was riding a camel in Cairo at the Pyramids. They are so cute...and bumpy. Now we are preparing ourselves for our long travel day: Istanbul to Frankfurt, then Frankfurt to Seattle. Much easier than our flight to Mumbai, India! Bon Voyage!

World Here We Come!

Tomorrow we leave on our grand voyage cruise. The Holland America ms Amsterdam is in the middle of its 114 day cruise around the world. We are lucky enough to be the entertainment during one of the most exotic legs of the cruise. We fly from Seattle to Mumbai (Bombay), India then we visit Oman, a couple ports in Egypt, and Istanbul, Turkey. We will be gone for two weeks total. It hasn't quite hit us that we are about embark on such an amazing adventure. We will be sure to post many photos when we get back (our own of the pyramids!) So, as they say in Egypt "Senebti!"

Tuscon, AZ

We had a corporate party in Tucson, AZ last week. The event was held at the JW Marriott Starr Pass. It's a new five star resort just outside the city. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. These are a few pictures of the venue...

Jeff really enjoyed our spacious room...

We took am amazing hike that made us feel like we were in the middle of nowhere...

Rhiannon was very enthralled by the cacti...a little too much so...

There was a stone house literally in the middle of nothingness. No exactly move in ready...

Jeff kept looking for animals underneath the rocks...

And, to our happy surprise, there was a Starbucks in the resort. Life is good...

Captain my Captain

We just finished three weeks on the ms Westerdam. We had a great time and met some wonderful people. Below is a picture of the Captain of the vessel. Captain Peter Harris is about the nicest guy you will meet. Definitely not a typical cruise ship captain.


Here is the most important group on the ship: the Captain, Hotel Manager, Cruise Director, Event Planner, Comedian, Magician, and us...


This is a picture with our friend Jimmy who is the piano bar player. We were enjoying a delicious Mexican meal in Cozumel...


Each cruise there is an activity called 'Superstar.' It is basically a playoff of American Idol where the guests fight for the title of Superstar. I sometimes play the judge ala Paula Abdul. I just do it sober...

Show Pics by Drew

Our friend Drew took some photos of our show last week while we were on the Oosterdam. Jeff is such a ham.

Fun in the Theater

After one of the production shows, Drew, Angela and ourselves had some fun in the Vista Theater. Yes, we can get bored on ships.

Magician: Daniel Chesterfield

This is 'Magician' Daniel Chesterfield. Watch and be amazed.
