An iceberg in Alaska with little birds sitting on it. Interesting place to perch. :)

I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot to hit submit. caseynfld's picture reminds me of this one of mine from Iguazu Falls in Brazil.

I have sailed with Carnival four times. Had a blast. If you really want to party hard, take a Carnival cruise for New Year's. Wow! What a great time! We did it twice. Carnival has had a bad rap about being a 'party' boat. Not true. I have seen many passengers with beer in the hot tub before 9 a.m. on several other cruise ships. Carnival experimented with Paradise when it came into service it was absolutely smoke free. You smoke? Get off and lose your fare. That lasted less than 2 years. They could not fill the ship! Too bad. Other cruise lines have restricted smoking a lot. Only certain places. Still, knowing the rules, many continue to smoke whenever and wherever they want. This is Grand Princess. They used to have 'skywalkers' nightclub way up high, aft. Great view! However, it sacrificed a bit of stability and it was removed in a big time re-fit. We have sailed on this ship a couple of times. Still a good one.
