The bus ride there was trecherous, but Amalfi itself was gorgeous!

We loved Malta. The most exotic place either of us has ever been to!

Had a great first day at sea. I adjusted and Andy & I had a great time together. Topped the night off with a dance party as we sailed between Sicily and Tunis. Too much thunder, rain, and lightning to stand out in the open and get geolocation, but it made for quite a sky show. Looking forward to sailing into Malta tomorrow morning!

Woke up at 2 this morning after going to sleep at 9. Lay in bed wishing I could get up, get a bowl of cereal, and get on the Internet. Tried to devise a plan to write this geomoblog without consuming too many of my paid connection minutes. Left the room at 3 and went looking for a midnight snack. Was told that I could order from the Blue Lagoon 24 hours a day. First went outside to get my geoposition. Couldn’t get it on the Promenade Deck even after standing out there for 5 minutes, so I walked up to the pool, sat down with no walls around me, got my coordinates, and took this photo of the pool at night.
Why would I go to so much trouble to find my location? Well, I’m geeky that way, and I consider it a challenge to create a geotagged mobile log (geomoblog) of our travels so that friends and family can follow our progress and see where we are in the world. The reason I’m taking and posting these photos to smithersgreene.net is via Flickr is so that you can click on each photo to see it on Flickr and click the map link to the right of the photo on the Flickr photo page. You are also welcome to leave comments either on Flickr or on smithersgreene.net, although I regret I won’t have the time to read your comments much less reply to them until I get free Wi-Fi again. And even if and when I get free connectivity, it is bad for my hands to write much on this little keyboard, and besides, I’m on vacation!

It was a long journey, but we finally made it on board. After this, we finally had a hot shower and a good nap.
I splurged on 115 minutes of Internet access on board for $55. I can use it on my G1 with Wi-Fi, but I must be frugal. So, just a few updates this week!

Andy & I first laid eyes on each other five years before the day we posed for this photo during our camping trip on Mount Lemmon. We’re still in love and as happy to be together as ever– even more so.
We bumped into each other getting in line for coffee at Claire de Lune coffee house in North Park (San Diego, California) on a Saturday morning, May 24, 2003. About all we said was “Hello!” and “Good morning!” and I wanted to meet him but I was busy having a meeting with a friend and he was busy having a meeting with some friends. Luckily, we met two days later, May 26, at a Memorial Day pool party. And we’ve been together ever since. This is the first year since we met that the days and dates we met coincided again.

Andy and me having fun on Creek Street, Ketchikan, AK
Andy shot this video while we we enjoying our time in Ketchikan, AK on the Alaskan cruise we took in June. Here, he shows the Creek flowing under Creek Street and we have fun discussing the bawdy history of Dolly’s.

Andy & Me in Ketchikan
This is one of the photos we had taken of us while on our Alaskan cruise. We sailed on the Norwegian Star to Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway, AK and Prince Rupert, BC, leaving from and returning to Seattle, WA. We had an absolutely wonderful time, and I would recommend it to anyone. To see more of our vacation photos, visit either my Flickr account or Andy’s.

That’s Andy reading our final invoice for miscellaneous charges over breakfast in the Versailles dining room on the Norwegian Star. We are docked in Seattle and boarding a Seattle tour bus on the way to SEATAC for our flight home!

At close range, it’s hard to get more than one face in focus using the 50mm f/1.8 lens. Oh well! I may be blurry, but it’s the only photo we have of us together that day. Thanks to our waitress for taking it.
David is discussing. 
Happy Anniversary! Congrats!
