Spent Sunday doing a “meet and greet” with the Crew Members.

Everyone was very receptive. It’s amazing what people will do if you ask with a smile…..

Breakfast of Champions!!!!

The Buffet line was outrageous, so the guys decided to have a lite breakfast the first day.

Checking out the View from the Balcony…

Kinda ironic don’t you think???? I wonder if Jack Sparro was thinking “should I make Lil Croc walk the plank”?

When I came back to the room,

imagine my surprise!!!!
I had no idea, these guys were so talented

Houston – I think we might have a problem!!!!

The crew on board didn’t have any life preservers that fit these guys. So much for “all man for himself” – I guess as true buddies, they’ll go down together

After getting on Board,

the guys checked out the Deck Plans…Where was the closet Bar?? was the main question

First Drink was a Hurricane..How A-pro-po

The Guys took a quick weekend cruise on the Carnival..

The guys walked to the local pub to grab a drink

and possibly pick up some women!!!
Not sure how it worked out, all I know is that Jack Sparro rode on Lil Crocs back all the way home.

We took a trip to the World Fair Marina in Flushing Queens

Do you guys remember the movie “Men In Black”??

This was my FAVORITE PHOTO of the day!!

It took some maneuvering but was able to position myself in the helicopter, to see Lil Croc take on King Kong!!
Might be coming to a movie near you…

They went down to Wall Street (not really) to see the BIG BULL…

My only question would be “why was the Bull smelling Lil Croc’s crotch” just asking…....

Sight-seeing with a friend is just sooooo much fun!! You tend to laugh alot and attract attention.
Lil Croc and Jack Sparro took in the sights. The Statue of Liberty was bigger that they ever imagined.

Today we went to the “underground” subway.

Kinda creepy, we both thought but it’s the cheapest way to get around the city, especially when you touring.

Spent the evening dining out in Manhattan

Lil Croc was getting dizzy just looking up at the tall tall buildings.

Lil Croc takes the #7 Subway into Manhattan…

It was almost like a movie he said. He’s seen it on TV, just didn’t realise it would be soo exciting.
(of course, being New York, no one even questioned the fact that I was having this photoshoot on the train)

Lil Croc and Jack Sparro went to hardware store

to pick up supplies to build Jack’s Ship for his trip to Amsterdam
lil croc sits nicely on jack’s shoulder

Went out for Sushi

at a Great Local joint and he tried the Fantastic Roll

The Guys made us...

Creme Brulee for dessert…
Croc had a very relaxing but eventful day!!

Lil Croc wondering.....

if he should go for a swim with the kids..I was a little hesistant. (stories of Loch Ness monsters and all)

Lil Croc took a hike

in the country…

Jack Sparro and Lil Croc

spent a few hours at Lime Rock Race Track

Lil Croc in the convertible

"Mode of Transportation"

Finally Jack and Lil Croc jumped in to explore Connecticut, USA..

Jack offered Lil Croc some Tea

talked about the trip!! yada yada

Look who popped out!

amongst a host of ooohs and aaaahs!! (couple of rolled eyes from the Dear Husband)
Squeeees!!! and applause and excitement filled the air

Jack Sparro GETS MAIL

oooh the excitement is building...

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-13

Lil Croc gives one more big wave goodbye to the Wild West of Durango from in front of his travel agency.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-11

Racing off to return his rented Harley, Lil Croc flashes by the gate fence post. Are there more shadows on the fence now? At least Lil Croc is happy he never ran into that Milo the Malicious character.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-10

Lil Croc is pleased at Millie O’Malley’s reaction to his dinner table. Lil Croc notices that it keeps her dish above everyone else’s.

Lil Croc shows off his carpentry skills. He hopes this will be a good gift to give Millie O’Malley for saving his life.

A dazzling finale highlights the town clock tower!

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-7

Moving thru town, Lil Croc is dazed by the pyrotechnics and surround sound of explosions bouncing from peak to peak between mountains!

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-6

The 4th of JULY! How could Lil Croc have forgotten! The fading sunlight off the mountain brings out the sparklers in anticipation of the town fireworks.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-5

Millie O’Malley suggests Lil Croc forget about star gazing tonight. She has something much more impressive to show him. Something to deal with the fourth. Lil Croc hopes it isn’t the fourth course of dinner.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-4

The monster introduces itself as Millie O’Malley and apologizes for not sharing her meal. Evidently its hard to keep any food around. Lil Croc wonders how long he’s gonna be around.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-3

A flap of wings, a whooooosh, and a purring monster snacks on a mouthful of feathers. After a lick of its lips the monster suggests Lil Croc come for a ride. How can Lil Croc refuse?

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-2

AWWWWGHH! What ghoulish, ceremonial table filled with bones and droppings has Lil Croc been dropped on? “Shhhhhh,” purrs a voice, “don’t move!”

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 7-1

Still in Durango, Lil Croc sets up Chaco-Leo’s telescope to catch some constellations and Jupiter and its moons later that night.
Having moved all the plants in anticipation for tonight, Lil Croc is ready for. . .what’s that flapping noise?

However...

... Lil Croc has not finished his explorations of Colorado yet!

Entries still by AugustGrey!

Jack Sparro in NY - 4

He went and got himself a wench!!!I think he needs to travel (anyone interested in hosting a pirate?)
Please note: Pirate is on his way to Amsterdam by now. A host was found! :)

Jack Sparro in NY - 3

Just sitting on the fire escape overlooking the Manhattan Skyline.

Jack Sparro in NY - 2

He was able to hail a New York Yellow Taxi Cab that actually showed a video on “how to stop a taxi”

Jack Sparro in NY - 1

Yes!! I’m sure you all thought that after his Pirate escapade, i couldn’t turn him around. But Jack Sparro is a changed man (doll, oh whatever). He has now settled down to my car side pocket and travels between New York and Connecticut.He moved in with us sometime in 2006, after hearing about the McDonald’s Promotion. The fame was getting to him.
He spends is time commuting. Quite the companion. Filled with swash buckling tales of the good ole days. sigh…...

In the mean time...

... another critter is emerging in the world of Travelling Critters: Jack Sparro!

The Jack Sparro entries (pictures and captions) are from Pixelfun who lives in Connecticut, NY, USA. Thank you Pixelfun!

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 6-11

Lil Croc does a happy dance back at the entrance of Mesa Verde. The skies seem clear and soon the stars will appear to another great end of another great day.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 6-10

Finally reaching the petroglyphs, Lil Croc’s rendition of “Walk like an Anazasi” upsets some musically inclined tourists. Poo on them for no humour.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 6-9

Refreshed and back on his hunt for the petroglyphs, Lil Croc posses in a “cliff dwelling” of his own as well as showing off his rock climbing skills.

Lil Croc's adventures in the Wild West, part 6-8

Stumbling upon Mesa Verde’s ancient dwellings of the Anazasi, Lil Croc is glad to hide, um tour the hidden cliff dwellings rather than stay out in the open, um under the hot sun. Lil Croc runs to get in line for the underground Kiva viewing. It is amazing how much cooler it is down in this deep arroyo.
