Happy sailing!

Cousin Chris and his crew, shown above, have set out on a Caribbean cruise. Below is a picture of their ship, the Voyager: Wait! That's not right! They're on a NAUTICAL SHIP, not a SPACESHIP! Below is the correct picture: Wait! That's not right either! We'll Google it again... Oh my gosh! This is certainly not it, either! (Don't show Aunt Anna this post!) ... And this one is listing just a tad too much for our comfort. Where can that ship be? ... Whew, here it is! The mega cruise ship Voyager will leave Galveston, Texas, for Jamaica, Cozumel and the Cayman Islands with five rowdy Millers aboard. (Zack couldn't go because he's at college. The scrapblog editor was invited to come along as chaperone, but had to work at her highly important Star Tribune job doing something or other highly important.) The Millers are sentimental about cruises because Alverna's near-to-last days were spent on a fun family cruise in 2006. That trip, like this one, began and ended with a marathon all-night, all-day car trip from Minnesota to Texas in which the Millers, swigging large cups of truck-stop coffee to stay awake, communicated between cars using walkie-talkies on which they sang all 53 verses of "Froggy Went A'Courtin'." Good times!
