Claire AtoZ, Stranger #9, originally uploaded by dave.wolanski.

Claire was sitting behind me at a show on the ship. She had the good sense to move away from some fussy kids about 5 minutes before we did! Claire was on a trip with her teenage grand daughters and they were all having a good time. I took this pic with my new Canon SD1100, thus the flashy photo. Thanks Claire!

I met these ladies on the Jersey Turnpike while on my way to my cruise to Bermuda. I met them because they had shirts that said “cruise buddies”, so I had to ask which cruise they were going on. It turns out they were on the ship next to me, only they were heading to Florida and the Caribbean. The second lady from the left is Danny, an attorney that gave me her card with an email on it. One of the other ladies insisted on giving me her email too, saying Danny would never send the pics on to her! It was great fun, thanks ladies!
