Did You Hear About Our Cruise Stop in San Juan?

The first stop of the Carnival Victory, the boat Archie and Ronda Brown took for their recent cruise, was San Juan, Puerto Rico. They debarked, taking the boys into town. Archie had been to San Juan before, so he knew two things to do that would please the boys. First they went to the Castillo de Crostobal, a huge castle and fort that overlooks the sea. After the boys finished exploring the place, the Browns took them to the square where they caught a horse drawn carriage for a ride through the city. It was a nice visit.

Did You Hear About Our Early Flight to Miami?

The cruise that Archie and Ronda Brown took, along with their 7 & 8 year old grandsons, set sail from Miami. The Brown's had to catch a plane from Houston at 6 am in order to get to Miami in time to catch the boat. That meant they had to get up at four, get dressed and drive an hour to the airport. But it was worth it!

Did You Hear About Teresa Chaulk?

Archie Brown was reading a recent web release about a lady who was named to be superintendent of a school district in Wyoming. The release was by Capella University. They were very proud of the fact that the lady, Teresa Chaulk, is a part of one of Capella's online degree programs. Chaulk is pursuing a PhD and is an example of the kind of training that is available through the completely online institution. The quality of the education offered, as well as the convenience of receiving the education via one's computer allows folks like Teresa Chaulk to maintain a career and advance her skills at the same time!
