Countrygirl sent me her pictures, which came out really nice. Mary sent me the group picture that Patrick arranged to have taken by the ship photographer.
I will set up a section on the left side of the website for the pictures. In the meantime, I am going to add the pictures Countrygirl and Mary sent me to the ones I have in today's blog.
Anyone from the West Coast interested? No bikinis on an Alaska cruise. We Floridians will probably freeze, but the scenery is supposed to be spectacular.
Mary sent a fantastic slide show of cruise pictures, and I figured out how to get it onto the home page. Give me another 10 minutes, then refresh the home page - www.thealzheimerspouse.com. At the end of the group picture, there will be a link to the slide show.
I enjoyed all pictures. Called Patrick and made a reservation for the Alaska cruise, for 3 of us--me, husband and his sister. I figured if she comes along I can get more respite without worrying. Here's my question---did those of you who were on the last cruise compare pricing with other similar cruise deals out there? I've seen so much in the press about cruise prices coming down due to the economic troubles, etc. Does the group rate make it competitive? Since I will be paying for 3, pricing is an issue. We've only done one cruise in the past--ironically it was on the Celebrity Century--wasn't that the ship you all just took?
The slide show was wonderful! Really nice and tropical. (I especially liked the white cat, who looks like mine, but without the extra fluffy tail.) Bluedaze, I'm sure Mary took that one for ME. :-)
I will be advertising the Alaska cruise on the home page as soon as I can get settled - had to do some major crisis management here on Monday and Tuesday. I encourage anyone who is interested to call Patrick (919- 402-8900), and he will e-mail you the information on pricing. He goes out of his way to provide extras as part of the Stress Management Cruises, including workshops, speakers, support groups, and onboard monetary credits.
Also, for our Alzheimer's fundraiser, I am selling tickets to win a cruise - NOT a Caregiver Cruise; a regular cruise. That information will also be going up on the home page, but I've been a little pre-occupied here as I said, with some AD related difficulties.
