HAL Volendam, 20 & 27 SEP 2006

[foxpaw]

Hi guys.....

Booked on Holland America Line's Volendam for two back-to-back cruises: a week from Vancouver, BC to Alaska departing on 20 September 2006.....then staying onboard, departing from Vancouver on 27 September 2006 south through the Panama Canal and on to Fort Lauderdale (17 days).

Anyone else booked on one or both of these cruises? If you are, it might be fun to anticipate together through these forums, emails, etc. Of course, the real thrill would be to meet onboard for a drink, chat or whatever we choose. Couples, singles, ANYONE is sure welcome!

Me: I retired recently from a 30-year career as a Naval officer. (So what does any good Navy boy do after "retirement"? He goes back to sea! But, now, to play, not work!) Will be doing some freelance writing to supplement my income.....otherwise enjoying a great life even more! (I can't believe I'm "retired" from anything...still feel like a kid, at heart, and am in excellent health and great shape -- all that sea air, you know!)
