Happy New Year, and welcome to 2013!

Looking back, 2012 was quite a year. This blog made its debut in April, and first grandchild Cate made her debut in October. We can hardly wait to see what 2013 has in store. Here's a special thanks to all our readers, contributors and many friends in the cruise industry. We hope you'll continue to be our shipmates and travel companions in the months ahead. Bon voyage, 2013! -- Gerry and Pam
