Hello, fellow Refugees! Greetings from Norway! Honey West here, deep Undercover investigating a line of cruise ships that we think Mr. Reddington may be involved in purchasing to rebuild the shipping arm of his criminal empire.
My assignment has me traveling by ship, jet and rail to and from Rotterdam. There are many ships and it has been difficult to determine which ones are the target of his next purchase. In fact, he may have been spotted a couple of days ago dressed in a Captains uniform ducking into the bridge. I will keep an eye on that location! Meanwhile, in order to blend in with the other passengers I will continue to show up regularly at the entertainment venues and the buffets. I may need to change my name to Honey Waist before the end of my assignment, though!
We first tracked Reddington to Scotland as we heard that he had been disguising himself as a Highland piper. All we found was an empty kilt and a fedora, apparently lost as he hastily dropped the bagpipes and made his escape. He has been relatively easy to track through Norway, as he is traveling with Dembe, who really stands out in a crowd of Norwegians, in spite of his terrific Rick Steves disguise. We are hoping to have better luck when we reach Oslo on Wednesday. We don't think Red is there to accept a Nobel Peace Prize, but we have been told to stake out the Viking Ship Museum as he and Dembe were last spotted at a souvenir stand in Trondheim buying two Viking helmets, and trading in their revolvers for replica Viking swords. It could be a decoy, or part of some convoluted contingency plan. We will keep our eyes peeled, as soon as the buffet up on the Lido deck closes for half an hour to restock.
Signing off for now! Hope everyone is having a great summer vacation!

LOL! "Rick Steves disguise" Oh . . . that's grand!
Glad you are getting away! I'm sure each day will be an awesome adventure. Walk a lot! Don't worry about your waistline. Food and drinks over there aren't laced with HFCS or other exotic chemicals that pile on the pounds.

I forgot to mention that I am working with a partner on this assignment. Guy Noir is moonlighting doing cruise ship security for the summer and we have been working together to try to locate Reddington. We have decided to focus on Dembe, as his Rick Steves disguise has been photographed and passed along to us.

Welcome, Jelmy001! We love seeing new member posts! Hope you are having a nice summer vacation. It is hot here, too. In fact it is supposed to hit over 100 all next week. This is when we use the joke about you know it's summer when...you get hot water from both taps.
Well, we lost track of Reddington when we returned to Rotterdam. Guy Noir was reassigned, not sure if to another cruise ship, but anyway, he left Rotterdam when we did. We plan to meet with him again in October to see if he discovers anything new between now and then. He will be Just Passing Through and is disguising himself as a humorist on a speaking tour. But Reddington and Dembe gave me the slip while I was distracted during a last minute purchase of Stroopwafels and Wilhelmina Pepermunts at the airport gift shop in Amsterdam. However, they were recently sighted in NYC, so it appears they are back in the US.
