Details

  • Hobbies & Interests
    I love reading....mostly murder mysteries. As a break, I will buy one of those "women friends" kind of books, about a group who hang out and the escapades they enjoy. A nice change of pace. Travel, of course, primarily cruising. A good "road trip" is nice once in a while. The beach @ Siesta Key. Dancing. Hanging out with my NJ friends.
  • Music
    Music varies with the situation. My CD collection is very varied, from Michael Buble, Sinatra, Dean Martin to Simon & Garfunkel, Jefferson Airplane, Billy Joel, as well as Motown (love David Ruffin!), Meatloaf, Beatles, and yes, some country, Toby Keith, Waylon Jennings, and the now ostracized Dixie Chicks.
  • Movies
    Action, comedy, drama, and an occasional "chick flick" (which is usually disappointing, but I love Jennifer Aniston). Horror movies...only if they are not dumb, bloody, soft porn types.
  • TV Shows
    Reality TV! Amazing Race, Survivor, Hell's Kitchen, Big Brother, American Idol. As far as regular TV shows: Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy (every nurse watches that!), Army Wives. Cable shows: True Blood (love those vamps), Weeds, Dexter, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
  • Sports
    You're kidding, right? ME? HA!<br>The ONLY sports-type show I would watch is Professional Bull Riding! Those guys are HOT!
  • Food
    Italian is our favorite kind of food: pizza, calzones, fried calamari, and eggplant parm, a good filet mignon or prime rib on the rare occasion I feel carnivorous, sometimes Chinese, sometimes Mexican,
  • Pets
    Never, sorry.....
  • Books
    Favorite authors: James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Sandra Brown, Ed McBain (R.I.P.)
  • Quotes
    Don't sit around waiting for things to happen...get up and go!
  • Occupation
    Registered Nurse
  1. Happy Birthday Ellie!

  2. Great review, as usual, Rose. That's really a bad impression of Island Princess. We've cruised on Princess a lot and have never had any problems. Hope I'm not speaking too soon...... We're cruising on the Grand next month and probably the Emerald in December 2012 for New Year's Eve....remember 2008??? HA! I did get my banana daiquiri in St. Maarten last January with K&R.
  3. Hi, Arne! Welcome to Cruise Crazies! I am the "Ellie" in Martin's pseudonym of "MisterEllie". I am looking forward to meeting you and am glad we will be cruising with "the Danes". ...Arne, Carsten & the infamous "MisterEllie". This cruise will be such a fun time for all. My husband, Frank, told Martin he's his American Dad.....although I'd rather call myself his friend than his American Mother. Sounds way too old & frumpy otherwise.
  4. For the most part, I agree with Rose. We could stay on the ship and never leave it the entire cruise....that's when we cruise the Caribbean.....because we've done it so much. I think if we went someplace "exotic".....like Tahiti, Bora Bora.....we'd get off. Even VietNam....would love to see that area also. Actually, for a while I was really intent on pursuing this and it turned out to be quite expensive with airfare to Tahiti added on to the price of the cruise (which wasn't bad). I'd also love to do the Amazon River cruise....one way out of FLL or back to FLL.....with Manaus, Brazil being the first (or last) port of call. And let's not forget the Mediterranean. I want to see Rome, Venice, some Greece, some France, some Spain, some Egypt.....YES!!!! I do want to see it all! It does seem to be our luck that we have never been able to accumulate an adequate amount of money to pursue plans to visit these places. If we won the lottery (meaning a "good amount".....like maybe six figures....)we'd be arriving somewhere in Europe, despite my husband's protests that he doesn't want to sit in a plane that long.....this coming from a former 82nd Airborne soldier. He'll jump out of planes but won't sit for so long. OY VEY! We have friends who have done that type of cruising and always ask if we'd like to join them. Maybe one of these days!
  5. Absolutely beautiful! Love it!
  6. KEITH: I certainly remember the airline people!!! God! They were so young and could drink so much more than I could!! The six sample martini rack....that is what comes to mind immediately. That's one reason why we can't let you have a different dining time than us....we miss out on all the fun! HOWARD: T-Shirt looks great! Good job, man! Out of curiosity, being a former Philadelphian, do you & Cindy still work? My last job in Philadelphia was in Episcopal Hospital on Lehigh Ave., and before that, I worked @ U of PENN....that is a great hospital! I grew up in NE Philly and was in Bensalem quite often visiting or going to Fisher's on Street Road! Looking forward to meeting some PA people! DEBBIE (& Jerry): If you've never had a martini, you'll be in good company. My favorites are cosmopolitan (YEAH, DEB!) and pomegranate martini, but many places do not make them. Chocolate is too good, so I pass on them.....I would get sick from too many, I'm sure! I hope we can keep it together on CC so all of us can eventually meet on the Explorer. Can't wait for that!!!!
  7. Right on, Rose! Maybe the ladies would like a string of pearls or a diamond necklace?????
  8. JACKIE: It depends whether you would prefer to see mostly water and shoreline or restaurants/bars.....I vote for "Inbound". Either way, it's a lot of fun.
  9. HOWARD: What do you mean "it's not perfect"???? IT IS PERFECT (with a date or just a year, yes?).....You're the MAN!
  10. MARY LOU: We've never been to Bermuda! If airfare wasn't so expensive, I'd say we'll join you. And I commend you for taking your leadership responsibilities so seriously.
  11. Good Luck, Lisa! It seems like there are plenty of nursing jobs in Central Florida. Where are you located? My friend is working at a hospital PRN and they call her on a regular basis asking her to come in and "help out". Let us know when you find out!
