Tonight's picture was taken on December 5, 2002. Mattie was 8 months old and experiencing his first snow fall out on our deck. The snow inspired us to dress Mattie up and snap photos. That photo shoot produced about 50 photos, of which we chose this one to be displayed on the front cover of our 2002 Christmas card.

Greetings everyone from somewhere in the western Caribbean. This is Peter posting today as Vicki has come down with a nasty bout of seasickness, and has been knocked out from mid-morning.
It was really awful for her as the ship has been swaying, and bobbing like the proverbial "cork on the ocean" and crashing through the waves. Normally, Vicki (who takes Dramamine religiously when it comes to any motion, especially motion on the sea) manages on these cruises (in spite of feeling drowsy and slow for most of the trip), but this morning somehow got to her. Poor thing. She was simply miserable. She could not get comfortable, and was both nauseous and had a raging migraine. I wish I had a magic wand today... either that or a transporter from Star Trek.
Today we continued on our trek from Key West to Belize City, Belize, where we expect to arrive tomorrow at 5am, which means today was an "at sea" day as we passed Cuba to the north and turned southward towards the Caribbean Sea. For anyone who has cruised before, you know that these "at sea" days can either be relaxing or they can be like a locked closet full of anxious squirrels all looking for an imaginary nut.... simply crazy. On top of all that, Vicki was not feeling well.
I am glad to report that she is at least vertical now, and talking about wanting to go to dinner in a little bit, so, we will see how that goes. Hopefully, Vicki can continue to rebound as we have a full day ahead of us tomorrow.
So, from the coast of the Yucatan, we are signing off, and tomorrow we will hopefully have some interesting shots of Belize and Mayan ruins.
