Sunday October 16 2022, by Jack Cummiings, wit photos by Barbara
Cruising by her self has been a pretty steep learning curve for Barbara, especially in the area of using the Internet and posting pictures. Thanks to her son and a fabulous crew of the Zaandam she is doing great, that is why I wanted to post some of the pictures that she’s finally been able to get uploaded to our home shared folder and these pictures just illustrate what is so great about cruising, the elegance, the people, the relationships, and the overall experience of being out at sea – so enjoy the following pictures.
I know it may seem strange that I am not cruising with Barbara but I feel that my cruising days are over, as I just don’t feel comfortable with the traveling and cruising folks and I am very happy just to stay at home and add what I can to this cruise by publishing Barbara’s writings and pictures. I am still in relatively good health and I got family and friends to take care of me while she’s on her adventure and I want her to enjoy it to the fullest. Thank you
Now that the voyage approaches its first port of call, the real photographic journey begins. Thanks again for your kind words of appreciation and encouragement – Jack

Thank you
Thanks, Jack. You’ve answered some of my questions. Love seeing Barbara enjoying this cruise. Good for you both. I’m not anxious to cruise at this time, but I might be ready to go to Alaska next spring/summer. Love to you both.

Thanks Jack for your information. I do enjoy hearing about Barbara’s cruise and all the other ones you and Barbara have taken.
