Thread: Hello.

There are all manner of ways to enjoy cruising. My Lady and I are always on the lookout for some new facet of the experience.

In that vein, let me share with you something I do while cruising. Along with a camera, a scanner and a good book, I also pack a small blank notebook and a few pens and pencils. They're used to jot down observations and thoughts when and as they occur. Back home, they form a part of our cruise 'scrapbook' along with photos, pass cards and all the other accumulated 'stuff' that ends up in our luggage.

A few weeks ago, we took a cruise to the Bahamas. My notes from that trip can be found at:

I'm looking forward to exploring this forum and, if possible, contributing to it.

Hey Jim! Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

You certainly have a way with words...I was reading some of your blog. A different style than most.

So where are you off to next? Do you have a cruise booked?

Enjoy looking around and meeting fellow cruise enthusiasts.

aboard from the West Coast. We are pleased to have you with us

WELCOME TO CLF!!! You'll find the nicest, friendly people here.

I like to keep a little memo book with me during a cruise too. It helps in noting down the events during the cruise, those little details, any names of crew members that have helped us (for the "made a difference" cards), comments for the end of the cruise comment card.
