Weekend Guests

Leigh and Iona Bartlow from Huntsville, Alabama stayed with us this weekend while they were in the area for a family reunion.



We first met Leigh and Iona while on a cruise ship heading for St. Petersburg, Russia. In a chance meeting at diner we discovered Leigh had family roots in New Albany, PA which is my hometown. Leigh and Iona return to Bradford county on a regular basis for family reunions and have stopped to visit us several times. In another twist of fate we both took the same Antarctica & South America Cruise in March of 2008. While on the Antarctica cruise Iona and I celebrated our birthdays which are on the same day, Leigh's birthday is 6 days later. In January 2009 we accepted Leigh and Iona's offer to visit them at their timeshare in Pompano Beach, Florida and scheduled our 2009 Panama Canal Cruise to coincide with a visit to Florida.
