THE MIXED NUTZ ON ADVENTURE OF THE SEAS

The planning for this cruise began nearly two years before our departure from San Juan Puerto Rico on April 20, 2008. After many years of trying, Carol and I managed to get my brother Bruce and his wife Sharon to book this cruise with us. I suggested they try cabin 7388 and we'll take our tried and true 7688. So we booked..........and waited.
Along the way we had a very active thread on CruiseCritic. Our threadmates hailed from all points of the USA. Our group usually consists of East meeting West with a little South and North also. And not to forget the middle....we get them also.
Once again we planned to meet the night before for a pre-cruise kick-off dinner for all those who could be there the day before. We had a nice crowd for this get together. It was decided previously that "authentic" Puerto Rican cuisine was desired and a restaurant was selected. A private room was reserved and we all met there.
It was great fun getting a chance to meet face to face with folks we have been writing to and from for so long. We knew instantlly that this crew was going to be one to remember. Time has proven that. Of course not everybody stays in touch but enough of us do. We keep a Mixed Nutz thread active on Cruise Critic's Floataway Lounge. It is updated daily.
There is much to write about this cruise and I will get to it real soon. I have a photo project underway from this cruise and hope to finish it soon. When I'm done, everyone who has remained in contact will get a copy. When that is finished I will complete the write up of that cruise on this blog.
I have to hurry. The July cruise will be here before you know it.
