Our trip north involved many stops the second being Norfolk, VA. We had been there earlier in the year evaluating it as a location for the Hazelwood reunion in 2015. Jim served on the Hazelwood for 3 years. This time we were evaluating 4 hotels as the possible reunion location. We were surprised and pleased that we got invitations to spend a night in each of the 4 hotels. In that way we got to properly evaluate each of them.
One of the tours we did not get on during our visit earlier this year was a harbor tour and dinner on the Spirit of Norfolk. The convention bureau made arrangements for a complimentary tour on that boat. It was great and I am sure we will include it in our reunion.
The meal was superb and they had a DJ to make the tour even more fun. Since we were about to celebrate Carol's birthday I even got us a bottle of champagne rather than just a glass.
As you can see, you get to see the ships up close and the captain gives an excellent description of each as we go by them If you ever go to Norfolk don't miss this tour.
When we finished our 4 nights in Norfolk, we left early in the morning and drove 11 1/2 hors to get to the Troy, NY area.
