RICK IS BACK FROM VACATION!

[Rick-Founder JM CM BOOK CLUB]

I will be away on a cruise with my family from 8/12 - 8/17 - so if you email me or post a comment - and I don't immediatly reply- it is by no means out of impoliteness- I am not sure that I will have access to the Web during my days on the high seas!
I shall be looking forward to returning- and certainly wish all of you only the best!!
Rick

[Martha]

Have a great time!!

[Arch]

Have fun Rick.

Rick, did you pack your books yet? I don't have a Kindle or Nook, so I spend a great deal of trip planning on what books to take. (More than clothes,shoes, toiletries, etc.) Like to make sure I have enough light reading, something substantial, an old standby that I know I love, etc. Have to pack a book for every potential mood and situation.

Bon voyage Rick. We promise not to play havoc with your book group while you are away. Although it might not look quite the same on your return.

Just kidding. Have a great trip. :D

[Petra]

Sounds like great fun, Rick! Have a wonderful time!

[Ronyell]

Have a great time Rick!! Hope we see you soon!!

I went on a cruise in July (NCL) and while I could purchase access time to the web, it was expensive and had to bought in blocks of time. I bought 250 minutes and it cost em $100. Take about ripping off a captive audience.
Bon Voyage!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! This will be the first time since my father's passing 4 years ago that we are all together again- in celebration of my mother's birthday- so a very special time!

[Louise]

Have a wonderful time with your family, Rick. :-)

[LeAnn]

My family went on a cruise last year. We had a blast, but it was too expensive to get Internet. I got a lot of reading done, though! Have a good time.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Have a great time Rick, you deserve it.

Today is Aug. 12 and I hope I didn't miss you! I seem to be running late everywhere... even on my blog! Look forward to your return from the high seas.

There is so much to do on a cruise you won't have much time for the computer anyway. Have a good time.

[Eileen]

Have a great holiday. Cruising is absolutely marvellous.

Cheers,
Eileen

Welcome Back Rick

So did you have a great time?

Hi Rick,
While you were away, sunning yourself,[getting seasick and stung by jellyfish:] little old me finished my new goldfish/wildlife pond, 4X6 meters, with the help of my youngest son and his friend.
So, you are bobbing about on the ocean blue, soaking up the rays, then watching other 'rays', then there's me, covered in mud, dodging thunder storms, only to end up falling in and getting a close up of my goldfish!! Isn't jealousy a terrible thing!!
Come on you lot buy my books!! I wanna go on a cruise too blaaaa!
Welcome back mate, glad you enjoyed it, do I miss traveling or what.
All the very best, Paul Rix [oldgeezer:]

thanks Paul- I must admit- loved it- but never realized I suffered from sea-sickness until almostlast day- had very hard time sleeping each night- days were great- but sleeping was like a having an elephant standing on my stomach- and man! was I spinning the next day- a real revelation- just happy that I got to enjoy all the days and dinners ect- but sleep-time- AHHHHHH!!!!

thanks Hunter! great times- favorite was the snorkeling and the dinners- as I wrote above- worst was the sleeping (or lack there of!)

[Timothy]

Hi Rick,
sorry about the 'mal-de mere', a comment made out of pure jealousy, absolutely no ill intent! I am only too well aware of the total wretchedness which comes with the lack of 'sealegs' now you know why I was a soldier!!!
all the best, Paul Rix [oldgeezer:]

[Ronyell]

Hello Rick!! Welcome back!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to the Bahamas! I always wanted to go to the Bahamas!!
