Andi: I love this thread! Tony and I had never cruised and were anti-cruise people..who knows why? We had a 30th anniversary coming up so i read many of the CC boards never thinking much would come of it. Then I read and read and read the Radisson board - knew I wanted this line and these folks - you can imagine Tony's surprise when I told him we were doing a back to back on the Diamond last Sept. Had great time and sad when first week people got off but a new group of wonderful ones got on - then we did DDD in January and finally met many of the posters. What a great time we both had on this trip! We have lived in northern Fl for 27 yrs I am from Ct Tony from Wisconsin - all kids grown 2 in Chicago, one in Santa Monica and one in Gainesville - 3 granddughters another baby due early April - we like to travel, garden, and have small pool in backyard where we live from March till Nov!!! We live arcross the street from a gorgeous beach with no high rise development - nice!! Joanna PS Karen you can park Winnebago in driveway....
