Thanks for the report. I am soooo jealous of all of you on the cruise, including my sister, Patriot1. Just kidding! I know you all are going to have a great time! Anxious for another report on the cruise.

DITTOS--The cruise was FABULOUS!

MatchettPI and I arrived back in Orlando--after a great time!

The food,ship,activities,shows,nightly various gatherings of FReepers for *shipboard whatever* and great FReeper meetings!

Many pictures should be available soon--along with more details.

Thanks to Citizen7X(Gary) and his lovely and gracious wife Linda for taking us to "Budget" in Ft Lauderdale!

Freeper Gracey and I returned to my home on the central Gulf coast just a while ago. We took the cruise courtesy bus from Miami to Clearwater accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Porgygirl who live a little north of me. Gracey is already on the way back to her home in Texas. I'm pooped, but Gracey napped on the bus and hit the road right away for her long drive to Austin.....What a great success this Freeper conference cruise was! Pictures and details will be forthcoming as soon as cruisers arrive home and settle in......There were no problems and we all felt and WERE safe. Only thing different on this cruise as opposed to ones I took in the past was more frequent requests and more intensive eyeballing of our ID documents upon boarding and leaving the ship at the ports of call. I'm sure there were other enhanced security measures we could not see, but there was nothing annoying to us.....The workshops were absolutely chock full of information and input from Freepers. I can truthfully say the operative word for the meetings was "inspiring". Input from everyone was awesome. An abundance of ideas were put forth and plumbed. Organization and planning for the Network was discussed in detail. I see a great future for the Network based on the enthusiasm and keen insight that bubbled up in each meeting. The fellowship was heart-warming. We all had a ball. EVERY Freeper who signed up wants to do an encore in the future, believe me!

I sure am jealous. :)

Really - I do hope you all have a wonderful time. I really wish I could have joined all of you - especially in these times we are in - a nice, luxurious trip sure sounds terrific.

Have FUN!!

Have a great time! Escape the world and all its problems on cruizes, that is one of the best parts, besides the food and the duty free shopping of course!

Wow! Great report...great pictures! Sure wish I could have made it....but it looks like ya'll had enough fun for all of us Freepers who could not be there! This looks like it could turn out to be a yearly event! Perhaps more of us will be able to catch the next boat!
