I like this too Andi! Should we also add what we do for a living or did do if retired?

I'm Robert. No cruise experience to speak of but as you are all painfully (lol) aware, my SO Paul and I are booked on a Navigator East coast voyage this October.

I am a native Angelino and paul is a native Vermonter. We live in the San Fernando Valley in North Hollywood. Me early 40's Paul late 30's (birthday today!).

Paul is a pastry chef at our local horse racing venue. I work in Promotions & Branded Foods at Warner Bros. licensing. Bugs Bunny vitamins, Fruity Pebbles cereal and Scooby Snacks dog treats, fast food kids meals, all the promotions you will see next month when the Scooby Doo 2 movie opens. You get the idea. Fun job.

I handle execution and some sales and oversee a small staff of 4. I manage in tandem with a peer who is responsible for the primary sales effort.

I've traveled pretty much all over, while Paul's first plane trip was to come out here for an internship at the Peninsula Hotel 8 years ago.

We have a couple of crazy cats, love to cook/entertain. Just got DirecTV and it is amazing. Who knew there was so much out there?!?

Love posting here and being part of the community. Interested in learning about the rest of you.

Happy cruising!
