They don't want him to get too excited and start yelling "Dive Dive Dive !!!!!" at a most inopportune time.

BTW... Does mum and dad ever get a free ride?

Let me know if he ever gets up my and stops in Philadelphia. Yes..... I have seen cruise ships docked up there.

And tell him we said Happy Birthday.

A couple of years ago we were four hours out of sync to joining a cruise commencing at Vancouver and visiting Hubbard Glacier to see humpback whales breeding.

He has his moms holiday dates (mine I can choose at will) later this year, so we live in hope.

@You all....many thanks for the kind comments, they are greatly appreciated.

I could have got a job on one of these cruise ships

It happened some years ago. Was sitting in the waiting hall waiting for the ferry to Denmark.

Was shifting from English, Danish Swedish and some German(not fluently)

When a well dressed man asked me If I could French and or Spanish

Said I'm sorry but no, only a few words in these languages, why ?

He said his name and what he was(can't remember the title) and the name of the company and the cruise ship he was on.

This is from the memory

He said: You a very good with people and you speak some language very well. We always need that type of people, they are hard to find.

We talked some minutes more and said farewell there after.

Sorry for this little off topic story.

Happy birthday Young Buna. Jimbuna, I didn't realize he was so young. Given his responsibilities, I thought he was at least ten years older. You have got to be swelling with pride. Keep up the posts on him, I do enjoy reading them.

Thank you sir

Young Buna is on his way home, he landed at Heathrow from Miami this morning, a week later than the family and I would have liked but I guess you can't have it all ways.

Should be quite a welcome when he steps through the door this evening.
