ABOUT US
ABOUT US
A Little About Ourselves
We met while attending the same University in Washington, DC. Upon graduation, we moved to Northern Virginia where we resided for another ten years before moving to the first of two different geographical locations as part of new job assignments for Keith. Our two children were born in Virginia.
Keith is a former Telecommunication's Senior Executive who retired after a distinguished career with the second largest USA based Telecommunication's company.
Anne Marie worked in Meeting Planning, before becoming a full-time homemaker, and raising our two children. She served in a wide range of volunteer positions including PTA President at two different schools, along with holding several other volunteer positions.
Since Keith's retirement, we each have done volunteer work. Keith served on several town boards including Chair of the Parks and Recreation Board and Vice Chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission for our former town, writing columns for a major newspaper, and performing other volunteer positions in our current community. He was selected as Citizen Of The Year for our former town.
Before moving, Anne Marie served as President of the Women's Organization in our former neighborhood, formed the Ladies Book Club, and volunteered at a local Hospital. For the past few years, she has served as President of the local Alumni group of her College Sorority. Keith has taken on various positions in our community.
Most recently, Keith has become a certified indoor cycling instructor and is a substitute instructor at our community Fitness Center.
We also had the opportunity to pursue our other passions including travel, and fitness.
We have sailed on almost one-hundred cruises, on ten different cruise lines. This included mainstream, premium and luxury lines, across seventeen different cruise ships. We have sailed the equivalent of three years at sea, and visited over 260 different ports of call, and sailed all seven continents.
We love to cruise more today than ever before.
In 2007, we planned to take a 30 day voyage to celebrate our 30 Year Wedding Anniversary. We thought at the time that many years later we might consider a full World Cruise. However, circumstances changed with the loss of some loved ones including Anne Marie's sister at a relatively young age. At that point, we decided life is way too short and we should travel while we were in good health since no one knows what their future holds for them. There is a saying by Mark Twain that we try to live by. "Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well." As they say, for us the rest is history as after that very first World Cruise in 2007 this was followed by several other World Cruises along with other voyages.
