Meet the newest family member - Emilia Florence!

Soooo sweet and precious! Little Emilia made here entry into the World in the early morning hours of the same day as her cousin's wedding. September 7th, is a such special day for the whole Patrick clan! Another niece celebrated her 5th Wedding Anniversary, and the happy Wedding couple actually had their first date, on September 7th too! Below are proud parents of Emilia, Laura and Chris!

And below is proud Grandparents - my brother Pappa John and Nonna Joan! Such a blessing to be home for this special moment!


MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!

BALI, INDONESIA has so much to see - it's hard to pick where to start. All I had seen to date, was the Airport. So I figured one of the many Temples was a good start. Our fellow shipmates, had just been here 2 weeks ago for 4 days, when we were off in Raja Ampat and had lots of insight and advise. I found a driver's What's app contact info, through another resident and arranged a 10 am pick up. Delia, joined me and we decided the Hindu Temple, Tanah Lot on the west coast looked picturesque, set out on a rock from the coast.
