An Epic sail...Views from a crazy solo

[luv2cruise53]

So I have unpacked and it is only 12:30 so it seems prudent to go on over to South Beach. I lived here in South Beach from 1995-2000 so I was not unfamiliar with the territory. That opinion will change as I re-experience...the area.

 

The bus terminus is directly across the street and I knew this prior to booking. The bus is $2.00 and will take me directly to Lincooln Road and 16th Street which is essentially the heart of South Beach.

 

Next up: South beach

Hey Kev for some reason the picture is not showing up. Is it just me?

Same here. No pic.

 

 

 

Kev, the pic Donald took is outstanding! Please accept my condolence on your loss. And I am loving the start of your review. :)

[jinxyoz]

What a wonderful picture and memory you have of your partners final gift to you. So sorry for your loss and look forward to your review.

[BlueJai]

Ahhh Kev, I am sorry for your loss and I admire your strength in doing a solo vacation after going through what you did. What a gift to have your memories and beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing and you know I can't wait for more....

First off sorry about your loss, I can't imagine after so much time together how hard that can be. I am looking forward to your adventure, thank you for taking the time share it with us.

Hey Kev - That picture that Donald took in Bermuda is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us here on CC.

Thank you for your great thoughts.

 

Here is the link for the recent Star review I just completed:

This will give you an idea of my...Kev...not Ken..LOL writing style.

It was a humorous account and it certainly will be hard to top it or find better material.

 

Thank you

 

Kev

 

Oh my!!!! I am SO embarrassed!! :o My typing is appalling.....but I guess my eyesight is even worse!! Kev.....please forgive me!

* heads off to read the Star review to make up for mistake! * ;)

Hey Kev, just realized your in Boston and my 3 friends and I are going there in Sept this year. :D

 

So, I am in charge of the research.....any qualms about me giving you my email address at home or work so that you may offer me some advice if I find something I am questioning??

 

Leaving next Friday for MIA for the trip but after that I should get a move on things....

 

Let me know....

Thanks

I hope that all is well with him and that he is just busy.

 

But looking forward to a continuation whenever Kev is ready:)

[waverley7]

I was wondering where Kev went as well......hope he is okay too. Seems strange that he has been gone this long. :confused:

[sjbdtz]

Kev,

 

Sorry to hear about Donald too, and I also really love that photo. No wonder it won first place.

 

Thanks for the re-direct to your Star cruise, we're on the Star in Sept 2014 out of Copenhagen.....

 

But first, we'll be cruising with you on the Breakaway on Jan 5, 2014.

 

 

If I don't remember, remind me to buy you a mudslide. My partner Daniel's favorite drink too. :)

Hi Luv2cruise53 aka Mr Kevin!

 

just want to say, I would still love to hear your review of the Epic. I hope that all is well with you, and that you are just busy, and will update your review when time permits.

 

Take care, and hope to hear from you soon.:)

[chefladd]

Hi Kev - it sounds as though we have a lot in common in that I, too, lost my partner of 13 years to cancer in November 2011. We also were avid cruisers and I also live in the Boston area (North Shore in Swampscott.)

 

I enjoyed reading your posts and perhaps we could grab a coffee or drink sometime and chat?

 

I sent you a friend request as well.

 

Take care,

Ladd

[camz]

Ok, anyone know what happened to Kev? :confused:

[SMSACE6]

I do hope that he is ok, and just busy. But it is a long time to be absent from the board. Again, I hope that he is ok.

[saphousechic]

To all or any of you:

 

I am Jan from Kev's June 9th roll call. Please email me at Barndoctor@netzero.net. I understand how you all feel about Kevin's absence.

Great review.

[lostone65]

I too am worried about Kev's disappearance. Any info would be appreciated by many!

[CruiseIreland]

Hi. Just picked up from another thread that Kev has passed away. I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

[WestCoastCruiser123]

I'm really saddened to see this. I started following his review as I am planning to do epic solo. At least he was able to have some fun on his recent cruise.

[camz]

This is very upsetting. Kev quickly became a CC favorite with his funny, witty reviews. What a very nice, kind person. RIP Kev we will all miss you!

[meltingmoments]

Oh how very sad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends at this sad time. God Bless.
