Downhome Went on a Cruise With Us
This is one of the places we went ashore from our cruise ship Freedom of the Seas, Trunk Bay, St. John, the Virgin Islands. My son Ron, his girlfriend Sheila, her mom Ann and me with the Downhome. Thanks to my son it was the trip of a lifetime for me...fantastic cruise.

It is accompanied by many other flags and names from around the world, hopefully in perpetuity.
Forgive the printing. A very stretchy flag was hard to write on. This photo was taken March 16, 2013 at an altitude of 5164 m at the rather cold place named Gorak Shep. ... Hide full submission

We had an awesome trip. One of the couples, Carter and Leah, brought with them a Newfoundland flag, and every morning we would hang the flag either at the beach or pool and that would be our spot for the day. We affectionately termed it the "Newfoundland Embassy." This picture shows the embassy. The couple on top of the rock, Corey and Gizelle, holding the Downhome magazine are the couple that got married while we were there. Just thought you could print this as a memory of our trip. ...

Cuba vacation is a place to go. We had several excursions such as sky diving, a tour guide to Habana in a 1956 Chevrolet, a jeep tour. Also a tour throughout Veradero, Cuba. Loved every second. As you can see, Downhome Magazine's April 2013 issue was there as well.
