Rather than overwhelm all with pictures of our trip, I thought I'd post a few at a time. Know that you were all there in my heart.

About Me
- KathyA
- I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 53 years, two years after we met at college. I taught in both middle and high schools as I really love teens and in-betweens. I was also a certified Lamaze instructor, and for a short time a volunteer chaplain at Howard County General Hospital. I am a two-time cancer survivor, ovarian (2003), and breast (2019) I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs with great parents, in a bilingual household. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, the Orioles, and sometimes the Ravens. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy (Kath), and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader, cook, photographer, lover of languages, music, and four-footed furries.

Pulling A Few Punches and Some Photos
Today I resume my boxing lessons and am looking forward to throwing a few good punches. Why I didn't do this while I was teaching, I'll never know. How cathartic it would have been!

This one is scary and a sign of the times. For the first time in any of our cruises, as we left the Port of Baltimore, we had an armed escort. Anytime ANY vessel got close to us, the Coast Guard positioned itself between us.
Doesn't look like we're going to make it under the Francis Scott Key Bridge, does it?
Deck 5 - the Promenade Deck where we walked on 'at sea' days after working out at the ship's gym.
Our first view of Portland, Maine. Lots of islands and forts to maneuver -- pilot's 'take over' the ship for port entries and exits and boarding/disembarking at sea makes this one very dangerous job as they stand a great chance of being crushed between the two vessels.
