This hotel belongs to Steigenberger! It is one of the many hotels in Europe where my magazine (cover) was for Summer 2011! ....

Germany-  Notice the beer is cheaper then the water!!! LOL
The entire day, people LINED the Kiel Canal to wave at us. It was a true celebration for them! It was also VERY common to see people waving and flying Dutch & USA flags in our honor (like the family above)
We met this FUN family last year when we were passing through Tilbury (London)! I sent them an email that we would be passing through again, and they ALL came 
down to the pub (on a WEEKDAY)  to see us!!

How cool is that??
Invergordon, Scotland
Yes, he REALLY cranked up the car to drive home after church!

JoAnn, Lead Medical Officer is happy that Ron (my husband) is reboarding the ship after staying with a sick woman for 5 days in Edinborough! Once again, Ron was a hero and our officers and passengers were appreciative of his unselfishly volunteering to help!

As a thank you gift to "Hero" Ron, the ship paid for him to take an excursion that I was already escorting!!

I accidently walked up on this SWEET discovery!!  It was charming but yet felt a little spooky!!
We were the first cruise ship to ever come into this little port!! It was a HUGE town celebration and we were all treated to a handshake and personal thank you from the mayor!
