ANGIE & LIEN - Cruise Connection

Greetings Fellow Cruisers!     

Lien & Angie

 My name is Angie and my mom's name is Lien.  We are excited about joining Diana and Roger on the Hawaii Cruise to celebrate their 25th Anniversary!  We met Diana and Roger a few years ago and learned that Diana organizes these wonderful group cruises, so we asked Diana to include us on the next cruise that she's planning.  Little did we know what a phenomenal experience it would be.  What cruise was it, you ask?  The 2013 Asia Cruise, of course.

You see, this was my and my mom's first cruise, so you could say we were newbies when it came to cruising.  But we had no worries because Diana is a meticulous planner and an experienced world traveler.  Diana's blog about the cruise gave us great tips about cruising and helped us to properly prepare for the cruise.  Plus Diana has a wonderful travel agent - Alex!  Alex impressed us with her attention to detail and she took such good care of us - from making sure we got all of our visas to organizing our flight and keeping us informed of important deadlines.

It was because of Diana and Alex that my mom and I had a trip of a lifetime.  We visited nine cities in six countries and had an absolute blast!  We have almost 1,000 photos and over three hours of video to prove it too!  We could never thank Diana and Alex enough - we are truly grateful. 

Pho 2000 - Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City

So when Diana invited us to join her and Roger on their 25th Anniversary cruise last fall, we were thrilled because we'd be traveling with friends again and visit a place that we've always talked about visiting - Hawaii.  The added bonus with this cruise is that we're going to celebrate Diana's and Roger's 25th Anniversary, so we know it will be another memorable cruise.  We just can't wait!  In fact, we've already accessed our Cruise Personalizer on Princess.com and it shows a countdown of the number of days left until the cruise.  I just checked it today (January 16, 2015) and it shows there's 260 days left until the cruise.

We look forward to meeting old friends and making new friends on the Hawaii Cruise.  We also hope to learn how to hula dance too.  :)   

Sincerely,

Angie

P.S.  The photo of my mom and me sitting was when we were in Nha Trang, Vietnam for the 2013 Asia Cruise.  The other photo is of Diana, Roger, Wendy, Pat, me, Kelly, my mom, and Marsha having pho (a delicious Vietnamese soup) at Pho 2000 in Saigon. The restaurant is famous because it was visited by former President Clinton in 2000 - hence the name of the restaurant: Pho 2000.  There's even a framed photo of him at the restaurant.
