FUMI : Cruise Connection

Hello Everyone. I’m FUMI. Diana, Reagan, Roger, Karen, Buzz, Gary, Rocky, Peggy., Sara, Sean, Andre’s “MOM” and perhaps many more as I was told people are still signing up. These fellow cruisers I mentioned, I have known them a very long time and have thus through the years become a part of my family. I am very excited to be able to join Diana and Roger on this Hawaiian Island Cruise. I have been to Hawaii before as I have not missed one of their many renewals and I am looking forward to their final renewal for their 25th Anniversary. 

As you probably figured out I did not write this but, on Roger and Diana’s last visit to Sonoma. Diana asked me a lot of questions for this computer thing she is doing. I don’t know how to work a computer or really understand it. But I know that my kids and grandkids and probably even my great grandkids all know how to do it. But me...I like to watch as I am fascinated and inquisitively amazed of what it can do (these are Diana’s words to describe how I am as I look over her shoulder). So to those questions she asked me...

What made you decide to go on this cruise?

Well...because it’s the “LAST ONE”, I was there when Roger & Diana got married and I want to be there for the last one. I haven’t missed one yet and I want to do this because I can. Well, I am hoping to...Diana says “Don’t worry Mom, cruises are use to old people and they can wheelchair you on”. SO, I'M GOING! 

What is the best thing you like about cruising?

I like the relaxed traveling of cruising and still be able to see the world. It’s easy and fun.

Plus, it better then staying at home, right?

What do you enjoy about being with Roger and Diana?

I love to hear my daughter scream at my favorite son-in-law when he toots a backwind. They both make me laugh! 

What are your hobbies and interests?

READ-READ-READ - Japanese Books that is! I like to read daily. It is my favorite hobby and I also like to make homemade cards for those who stay in touch. But I think I’m getting old as my hands and fingers don’t work to good.

What do you like to do in your leisure time?

READ-READ-READ, don’t you remember? I like to read my Japanese Books.

What is your favorite color?

Blue, like the ocean, the sky and the rivers and lakes.

What is your favorite Cocktail or Drink?

Good quality Decaf Green Tea and my cocktail? Whatever Buzz makes or brings to me! There is a Maui story about Buzz’s cocktail you will have to ask him about it.  

Favorite Food & Dessert?

Sushi and I like anything creamy like ice cream (vanilla or coffee), tapioca, creme burlee & panna cotta AND finally (Karen always spoils me) I love DARK Chocolate, no nuts as she well knows! Diana says we get chocolate on our pillow on the cruise! 

And finally, Favorite cruise moment?

Going on any cruise that is with my family and friends. I am very lucky to be able to have such fun times and experiences. I have cruised Mediterranean, Caribbean, Mexico Riviera, West Coast Getaway with Ensenada and now Hawaiian Islands. I am very lucky and grateful.
