For the 26th time we met to have a good time. This time it was at a restaurant unusual and loud. We had a wonderful time saying GOODBYE to our good friend and neighbor Gaile (Tweety). This two pictures were taken outside.

It's always a GREAT time with the Central Florida CruiseMates. Very sad saying "g'bye" to our wonderful friend "Tweets", but very nice to finally meet, face to face, our New member, Manuel, and his lovely wife. We'll no doubt see Tweety on cruises in the future, but we'll miss her at our dinner get-togethers. GREAT seeing Ray, and so glad he was up to joining us for dinner. Wish the lovely Mrs. Jones (Vita) and I could join in on the "Todd & Ray" cruise, but other commitments prevent it this time. I'm sure there will be other opportunities in the future.
Looks like it was a great time!
I recognize Tweety and Ray, and Vita & Ken, and Manuel has identified himself as "the guy in the green shirt", but I don't know any of the gang on the left. Can anybody identify them?
RD and those did not know, Caption on the 2nd picture is:
In the chair is Kathy, behind her is Ray Jr, then Gaile, Dan, Ray, Vita, Ken,Rosanna and Manuel.
1st picture is:
Same as 2 picture except I took the Picture then Celeste is on the far right.
For those that do not know Celeste is my Daughter soon to be a Midwife.
Everyone are you now confused?

Looks as if everyone had a wonderful time. I am so sorry that I could not make it. I had arrived home from my cruise. My cruise companions stayed and I was unable to get away.
Tweety, I am so sorry that I was not there to wish you well. Just know that you are in my heart and I wish you well. I hope we can meet again on another CM cruise.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time. I would have loved to be there, but Arizona is more than just a hop, skip and a jump from Orlando! ! But I was honored to be at the very 1st central Florida get together way back in 2003 and I still have pleasant memories of that afternoon!

You are right.
Now that I live in Florida, it does make it much easier to attend.

You appear to have a block of time in February and March, why don't you join us on Trip's Epic Cruise with The Ray and Todd Show out of Miami in March?
