In early November, Mrs. G-LO, The Boys, and I went on a four night cruise aboard Holland America Line’s (HAL) brand new ship, the ms Koningsdam. Although the ship launched this past April, our cruise was this ship’s maiden voyage in the United States. A couple weeks prior […]
Before we get to the heart of this post (the “Booze Review and Cocktail” bit that I mention in the title), let me give you a brief timeline as to how all of this came together… Friday September 16th – An email from Food Shelter PR landed in […]
