Well, like John Lennon said life is what happens when you're making other plans! A lot has changed since our last blog in Copenhagen. Pa "wigged out" as we are calling it, and made me really worried for a while there. He is gettting back to his old self now, just tired, headachy and frustrated. He wants to get well instantly! We had a good day today. We were docked off Waterford, Ireland and spent a few hours in the Irish countryside at a ruined abbey and picturebook village. It was very nice and green, very much like I expected Ireland to be. Lovely but nowhere near as nice as England, especially the Cotswolds. When we got back Dad took a nap and I went to workout and walk around the top deck. The Star Princess is the same size as the Grand, about 100 feet longer than the Sea Princess that we were on last summer, in other words, massive. You would all be interested to know that they have a pretty decent rock band playing in one of the lounges, but since the average passenger age seems to be 153 there is hardly anyone listening to them! We are going to have dinner in the Italian restaurant tonight where it is a little more private. We usually just eat in our suite because we don't feel like socializing that much. Any road, we are off now to Glasgow Scotland and I think Dad will be up for another shore excursion tomorrow. Thanks for all the prayers and love, we feel it way over here! We are especially anxious to see Andrew, Ethan, Emma, Annie, Jack, Max, Audrey, Parker, Miles, Mabel and Oliver when we return. It's going to be the Pa road trip!! Talk to you tomorrow.

Lauren-
Thanks for the update. We love you both so much... You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly... Even at 2am when I can't sleep! :-)
We can't wait to see you both either. Today, Emma thought I said Bamma was coming and she got so excited... It was hard to let her down gently.
I am glad you are still able to spend a little time sight-seeing. When does the boat start the trans-atlantic part of the journey (or does it go down the coast of Canada?)
