3 9 OK, I AM OK

We are very sorry to have worried you.  We do not always have access to internet, so we can not always blog. 

The cruise line is being very careful about pirates.  We were scheduled to go to Seychelles but due to pirate reports, which I have not heard anything about on board, we skipped that port and instead headed way east, avoiding the problem areas, and went to the Maldives.  Even though we went out of our way, we still had 24 hour watch posted with water canons and big spotlights and other protective devices.

As for earthquakes, we were not at all effected.

Please keep in mind that as difficult as it is to access the internet, it is easier to blog and check comments than it is to get and return emails.  So if you need to email us, please blog that you need us to check our emails, like Deb did, and we will do our best to check emails.

Thanks for worrying and stop.
