Hello from SAND!

We just enjoyed our first dinner onboard. The ship looks BEAUTIFUL! Our room looks as though the ship was brand new. The carpets, draperies, bed linens are all brand spanking new and look fantastic.

Dinner was very good. I had the beef consome (sp) and for Pete's sake, it was out of this world. I know how odd that sounds, it's just beef broth for but it just had the best flavor. Mark had the Delmonico, he really enjoyed it and I had the chicken breast stuffed with prusuitto (spelling again!!) and mozzerella.

We spent some time visitng with Guiseppe today and he told us that the spa and gym have been redone and they both are spectacular. We haven't made it there yet but plain on checking it out tomorrow.

Right after sail away (we went up to Claudia's cabin for a drink) was the block party in the halls. The halls were FILLED with people chatting and getting to know each other.

As for my fellow Sandies, everyone is fantastic! I couldn't adore Betty K and her hubby Larry more, if I tried! Claudia is a hoot, Don (so funny!!!) and Diana are just so much fun to talk to!

Julie and Chester (juicyjuju) are both just wonderful. Kathy and Frank, who I have met before are just so gosh darn great.

I haven't met Tina yet but I hope to tomorrow.

Then there is the Shiek and his harem. When Marty saw first saw me, he gave me the bear hug of all bear hugs!!! My feet didn't touch the ground for at least a minute and then I had to hug him all over again for Sheri!

Ngaire's son Clay and his wife Brooke and just charming! If Clay is talking and you are not looking at him (and what a handsome man he is!!) you would think that it was Ken talking. He sounds JUST like him!

I know I am overlooking someone but I had several glasses of wine at dinner and my memory isn't the best, lol. Whoever I have forgotten, I will comment on in my next post. I am just so glad to have met all these new LCT people for the first time, it really is very special to me.

Please forgive all the typos, there is no spell check on this computer

Just know, we all made it here in one piece and if the rest of the cruise is as good as the first day, we are all in for a treat!

Oh goody!

A nice juicy sea mail complete with mouth-watering descriptions of food!!

Thanks Karen! :lct:

Great to get the first tidbit from the Sandees. Sounds like the beginning of a fun cruise. Send more seamail when you can, Karen and other Sandees.

Sounds great Karen - give your Mark a big hug!!!

Thanks for the the first of (we hope) many seamails, Karen!

The cruise is off to a great start and, from the sound of it, can only get better and better!

Pics, please!!!!!!

OH I forgot - pixs please!!!! Sooooo envious!

Glad to hear that SAND is off to such a great start! The Navigator will always have a special place in my heart as my first RSSC cruise ... :)

Masaki

I'm waiting for the pictures too. Glad the cruise is off to such a good start.

Our first (and next - yea!) cruise was on the Navigator as well - still my favorite ship! Thanks for the seamail and can't wait for more - yes pics please!

Soooooooooo happy to get your seamail and to know everything is going great!! We all wish we were with you guys! Can't wait for the next episode!

Hi Karen!!

It sounds so wonderful! Keep enjoying and when you have time tell us more!

Karen - thanks for your great descriptions! I've been having major spelling problems this morning. Is the LCT server lonely for you & taking it out on our collective keyboards? LOL!!

More block parties? That sparks an idea. How about a virtual block party in the LCT chat room some evening? It can be the BYO B&K party (bring your own bottle and keyboard)! It will have to wait until all the SANDees are home.

Have a wonderful time. I'm especially glad to hear the Navigator is so ship-shape. I missed the part about the bear hugs with Guiseppe .. was that another keyboard karma issue? ;)

Enjoy, Anne

Karen-
Have fun! Wish we were aboard. Regards to all-

First thing I did this morning was to look for details of SAND. I sure wish I was there but for the first time in years I have a killer cold and cough I am glad I am miles away from everyone. Would be terrible to bring this onboard.

Keep the posts coming so we can live the trip with you.

Sounds like everyone is having a great time.

Ngaire, hope you feel better real soon!

Nancy

Hope you continue to have a great time. Mona and I wish we could be there with you. Tom.

Waaaaa!! We want to be there with you'all!!! Thanks for the updates, keep 'em coming so those of us at home, frantically doing our shopping and wrapping and stuff don't feel too left out.

Ngaire - sure hope you fell better soon!! :hug:

Glad your are off to such a great start. Now I really can't wait until Monday when we sail on the Voyager. Please more sea mail and pix

It's right around the corner Doris! You'll have great time on that beautiful ship - as If I have to tell you! Joanna

Joanna, I just spoke to Regent and they are sure we will sail. We're ready, hope the Voyager is ready for us

Karen, how wonderful!! I am so envious, as I longed to join you on that cruise. Only tiny girl Karen could be so hyped about beef broth!! Actually sounds pretty good though. Enjoy every second!
Cindy

Karen thanks for the SAND SeaMail! Please keep them coming - we are all so envious!!! :cool:

Have a wonderful time all you Sand'ees!!! :banana:

Karen - you made me crave beef consume so I'm having some for lunch - why do I think yours was much better than the Campbells I will have?

Hi Doris,

I'm glad for you that the ship will sail on the 18th - and selfishly - for all of us as well!

Peggy :banana:

Gosh you Sandies...not one picture yet?

maybe they're rated and not appropriate for a public forum!

Sure gotten quiet

Thanks for posting, Karen! Sounds like things are off to a great start. Keep posting and, yes, pics please!

WE WANT PHOTOS! WE WANT PHOTOS! WE WANT PHOTOS!

*please :)

Where are you guys?????

Seriously, you must be having a great time. We can't wait for the next entry and pictures.

Nancy

<img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Maybe Karen will post again after dinner.

I want to hear about the BBQ today at Princess Cays and photos !!!

Quietest group I can remember

It is quiet!! Do you suppose they are "lost at sea"?????? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Oh gosh, there are not many other than Ngaire that post from the ship! I for one, who contributes to the board quite often, get on the ship and leave it to others! Perhaps we should leave them alone and not make them feel they "owe" us! Even if we think they should! I think only Ken & Ngaire post from these short cruises! Of course, Marcie does on sea days on long cruises. Maybe we need to give them a break to enjoy the cruise! Not like they have many sea days.

LOL....more fun laying a guilt trip on them for having fun WITHOUT us!!

Nice try Olivia - :lct: :lct:

All those LCTers, all that sophisticated and expensive camera equipment and not one post or pic today!

"Suzanne, the pics will be posted as soon as I can find somebody with a card reader." (from Don)

NO card reader yet???????? Did you try the photo shop????

OK, let's talk amongst ourselves until a SANDee shows up!

This must be some WILD cruise??? they are all going to bed early or partying till they drop - WOW WOW have email from west Fl group going going

I sent seamail from Navigator, so I know it can be done.

There are no hurricanes in the Caribbean to take out the internet. Even if they are sunburned, overserved or overfed, no excuse. I think a designated seamailer should have been named before they left the dock. They are just toying with us. Not funny SANDies.

Actually I am anxiously awaiting more news and it makes me realise when I put Ken through the wringer to post pictures it is worth the trouble.

It is SO MUCH FUN to read Sea Mail I really relish it, and a group cruise like this just really makes it so much more fun to share in the cruise with everyone through posts.

So Sandies will return I am sure. If you are having trouble posting directly just send me or anyone an email - we will post!!!!

Maybe in the morning???

They have a sea day tomorrow.

Surely their dishy CD and Social Staff will give them a little free time to post...

Sandies -- You must be having a WONDERFUL time! Wish we could have sailed with you, but we'll have to settle for some vicarious fun through seamail. Party, Party, Party!!!

Anyone home???

I hope we hear more from Karen, our LCT Princess...I think she's our best bet, Don is a close second because he's great at keeping in touch. Kathy...we'd love to hear from you and I'm sure you're taking lots of great pix for Don to post when he gets the card reader. Wendy already said she wouldn't post so no hope there. Guess they just like keeping us in suspense!

OK, I am behind by a day, but I am anxious to hear more. i,too, wish I were there, but as Karen knows, the show must go on, and I still have this weekend before we close.
Karen, hug Mark for me, and tell him I am expecting a back or foot rub when you guys get back!!!!!!
Lynn

Someone in that group must have free internet too....wonder if something in the system isn't working? SOS - LCT to Sandies!

Here I am!! Sorry about the lack of seamail but we just spent from 3pm till this morning in our room with sea sickness, lol. Don't tell Mark I told you this, but he visited the porcelin neptune shrine twice last night :(

We had to skip the private island yesterday do to the wind so today we are docking at Grand Turk, an unscheduled stop.

I am sorry to be so short with my mail this morning but we just docked and I am anxious to get OFF the ship, lol. I will check in later on today. Maybe we can talk Don into posting some pix of our group dinner, which is tonight in Portofinos with the LCT cocktail party first. Let's hope the seas don't churn up again, I don't want to miss tonights festivities!!

xoxo
I will check in later on today again.

Karen, I hope you and Mark feel better today and the seas will not be so rough. Thanks for checking in with us and have a great day in Grand Turk. We miss you guys.

Nancy

Oh how awful to have been sea sick! I wonder if the same "bug" got to the other LCT'ers? :(

Hope you are feeling better and the rest of SAND is smooth sailing! :cool:

Sorry! Just saw that I posted in the wrong place! Next time I will get it right......maybe! :D

Hi Karen and Betty,

Thanks for reporting in. As you can see by the posts previous to yours, we were all eager for seamail.

So very sorry to hear that you and Mark had a miserable bout with seasickness, Karen. Hopefully, no more rough seas from hereonin.

Wishing all of you an enjoyable time in Grand Turk!

Looking forward to more reports and much anticipated pix of all the SANDees!

:hug: Miss you!!

Karen and Betty-
Thanks for checking in - Karen I hope you and Mark stay happy and healthy for the rest of the trip - I know how miserable it is to be on a wonderful cruise but too sick to enjoy it! Take care of yourselves - and check in if you get time, but above all relax and have a wonderful cruise!

We were rocking and rolling so much last night that we needed a saddle to stay in our seats! I can't remember any rockier seas on any past cruises I have been on. We pitched and rolled from all day and night, we are all just delighted we have stopped for a spell!

Grand Turk was gorgeous! Much nicer than I remember last time we were here. Walking distance from the ship was a beautiful beach with lounge chairs and cabanas. We spent several hours there and we both got a little fried! Probably the mango daiquiris at Margaritaville didn't help, either!

For all those screaming for pictures, I will try and talk to Don tonight to see what we can do. I know, when I am the one left at home, I am the first to beg for pix and I know how impatient I can be!

That's it for now, I will post again after Portofino's and the B&K party.

PS
Please forgive any typos!!

Oh thank goodness the rocking stopped! I decided not to bug you all anymore about pixs as it is your vacation - but we'll love them when they arrive!!! Please say hi to Betty and Marty and gang - gosh wish I could be there!!! Joanna

Hi Everyone! Internet is spotty. I'll type fast so it doesn't crash. LOL! We are having a wonderful time but boy are we rockin and rollin. I think everyone has been feeling the effects of the waves.
Had a great dinner the first night we arrived with Frank and Wendy, Frank and Kathy and Don and Diana. Then we did some dancing in every place that was open, even in the piano bar where I don't think you're supposed to dance. We had a lovely time in there chatting with Bette and Larry.
We had a wonderful fish barbeque with live music at the pool today. Chester has gone to the chocolate demonstration. I don't like chocolate, that's why I'm here. Lol!
I played trivia with Frank and Kathy and Don and Diana and Phyliis yesterday. We didn't win but we got an honorable mention. ;)
I'm off to the balcony to drink some champagne and read my scandal rags. Oh, life is tough....
More later after the infamous B & K cocktail party and Portofinos. I'm still not hungry after the waiter brought me a DOUBLE portion of lobster last night and a vanill milkshake by the pool today :)

Julie, thanks for checking in with us landlocked folks. Sure sounds like you are having a great time. I hope the rockin and rollin is over soon.

Nancy

Just checking in..enjoyed the posts and the ability to live vicariously.

Do you think if I sent my card reader by carrier pigeon it would arrive in time for us to get some photos out of this group??

Thanks for checking in, Julie! You're not missing much in the Bay Area. It's been cold (50's) and rainy. I'd take rockin' and rollin' over this!

Suzanne - strap that reader to your pigeon's leg immediately and send him on his way. :D

Gee, how come Don didn't ask me for a card reader? I haven't even taken my camera out nor have we been off the ship. Did a bridge tour yesterday and have been having so much fund. Had a wonderful spa day today and relaxed. The massage therapist remembered me as did several of the staff. Always good to feel at home.

Great fish BBQ at the pool for lunch over looking the beach at Grand Turk. Having a great time with John Barron and we were invited to Dinner with Giuseppe last night, what a charmer. I have some news but I promised I would not share it just yet - who's birthday it is today. Oh and the new Captain is eye candy and equally as charming. Dinner at Portofino's with the group. Played in the Blackjack Tourney and lost ;-(. This cruise is absolute perfection. Off to the Chocolate tea.
Camera will be at the B & K Cocktail party tonight.

Good to hear from you guys!! Keep having fun and SSS (send s'more seamail). Kathy, please tell John and Lynsay hello for Tom and me and we look forward to seeing them on last segment of WC.

Take lots of pix Kathy and share them (I still never saw your MUSH pix). Have a great time!! Wish we were there!

Hi Sandees...so glad the seas are calming and you're having fun! Thanks for the seamail...hope the seaphotos are not far behind!

Happy B&K cocktails and dinner this evening. Please send full report ASAP!

I have the pictures taken, but am having issues getting them downloaded. I thought I had posted my SeaMail earlier and even that did not show up. I will try to get some up tonight.

Yesterday was a pretty rough day. Lots of people got seasick, moi included.

Other than that we are having a great time. Food is great and so is the service. Ngaire was right, this is so much like the Silver Whisper. Just take the Whisper and add one deck.

We skipped Princess Cays yesterday due to weather and headed for Grand Turk instead. What a fabulous day. We went on the snorkel trip with Debbie and Russ and Wendy and David. What a great port.

Getting ready for the party here in a few minutes, then all of us are heading to Portofinos for dinner.

Supposed to be another rough night, but this time we popped some seasick pills ahead of time, so we are prepared.

More later!

Ciao for now!

Sounds like you are having a great trip (notwithstanding the seasickness; hopefully that's a thing of the past)!

Say Hi to John and Lynsay for me. They are such an amazing, fun and talanted couple! If you like cosmos, have him order a metropolitan for you...yummy! Keep the seamail coming!!!

thanks everyone for posting. sorry that some of you have had a rough time with sea conditions. Have a wonderful party and group dinner. Keep the sea mail coming.

Nancy

Betty, Karen & Sandies -- The BBQ overlooking Grand Turk sounds spectacular! I'm sure there was plenty of grilled lobster (my favorite). Glad the seas are calming for the B&K party and dinner at Portofinos tonight. Have a great time!!

Don, you and Kathy need to get together to coordinate picture sharing! She is the expert, and probably has more equipment with her than you would ever need to get this done! We land locked unfortunates are DYING to enjoy some pix, as you had your Portofino dinner tonight! Let's hope you are enjoying calmer seas now. Being seasick takes the wind out of my sails faster than anything!

Thanks everyone on SAND for posting! It takes effort to wait for a computer, and if seas are bad, not a fun thing to do, so we are grateful!

Oh how I wish we were sailing with all of you! (I even like the rough seas!)

Hope you all have a really wonderful time....but...

WE NEED PCTURES!!!!!!!

Hi Sandees!

How is day 3? I'm searching the internet for weather forecast for next week...and it looks like you may have some showers today. Hope the sun comes out for all of you.

I'm not going to mention the P****s....you've been nagged enough! ;)

I think after this experience, we news-hungry and travel-deprived souls at LCT are going to have to demand that every group appoints someone responsible for taking and posting pictures and documenting all post-worthy behavior (depraved and otherwise) before departing. I guess the other option would be sending Ken on every trip, but Ngaire might not like that. Karen-next cruise maybe you should award some virtual photo equipment to the person who selects the name, instead of a tea-pot!
:lct:

Here is the gossip from last night. We had our B&K cocktail party last night and beforehand, we were bobbing like a cork in a washing machine again so I wasn't sure if I would make the party, let alone dinner. Well, I dragged myself to the party and once I caught glimpse of the Shiek, I felt much better! Actually, the wonderful and quite handsome Captain McNeill decided to sail around the rough seas to give us a break. This meant arriving late in San Juan but I think NO ONE cared about that, we were just delighted not to be green at the gills.

Back to the Cappy for a minute, he is delightful and easy on the orbs, Captain Dag might have a wee bit of comptition from him! One fun thing, at sailaways from ports, bag pipe music is played outside, I love that!!

Ok, back the the party. Everyone that I hadn't met yet was there, including Tina (tallship) and Peter. I can say we are adding lots of names to my lovely new friends list!!

Dinner in Portofino's was GREAT! I loved seeing Mona Lisa and Gerry again! The food, dare I say, was better than I remember in Don Vitos.

After a rather rocky night, we just docked at San Juan and I am eager to get off onto land again

I have been begging Don to post some pictures and as soon as he figures it out, I am sure he will.

I took video in Portofinos last night but that will have to wait until we get home to post.

That's it for now, I will check in later!!

Thanks for the great report, Karen, and I hope you have a wonderful day on land!

Thanks Karen!!! I so hope those seas cooperate for the balance of the trip. We miss you!!!!!!

Hi all!

When we were in the check in line, we were chatting with these nice people. They said " You know Debbie with Brown and Keene? We are her father and step mother". We said we were glad to meet them and looked forward to meeting Debbie and Russ on board. She said oh no, they are not on this cruise. Last night at the lovely B&K party I told Debbie that I thought it was nice of her to invite us, considering that we had spoiled her surprise!

Dinner in Potofino was great. We had 3 large table of LCTers, B&Kers, etc. Good food, good company, and good entertainment!

Glad to be in San Juan today and have a little land time since the seas continue to be pretty rough!

More later!

Such a shame about the rough seas. Hope it stops VERY soon. Cant wait to meet this new Captain he sounds like he is going to be a real star!!!

Thanks for the reports everyone!

Bagpipes at sailaway? Cool! Ask Julie to show you her "Highland Fling" next sailaway!

Karen and Betty...thanks so much for checking in. It shoulds like it a bit rocky in Caribbean right now...hope it calms down soon!

Isn't Mona Lisa the BEST! She was the star of the crew show last year - well, actually they are all stars, but she has a fantastic voice.

Glad you've managed to have a good time inspite of all the rocking and rolling.

If the photos come when you get home all if forgiven! LOL - are we a bunch of nags or what????

Wishing you smooth seas!

I know how anxious you guys are for seamail. I know I always look for it.

During the captains intro - Capt. McNeil was wearing a kilt in the McNeil tartan. Made quite a dashing figure. He attended the B&K Cocktail party last night but without the kilt :(

As you can gather from the others, it has been very rough seas. I have NEVER suffered from sea sickness but I got it too (or I drank too much wine) but Don and I think it is the rough seas.

The ship rocks back and forth all night with the periodic thud. I don't know what is worse back and forth or side to side :)

I even got the seasick pills from reception and it helps but makes me very tired. (The instructions tell you that the effects of the pill will make alcohol consumption worse. So only a little wine for me last night.) I was so tired that I missed the show last night who were Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand impersonators.

Won Wheel of Fortune this AM. YEAH. But I abdictated our trivia team because there were too many and the person writing down our answers, did not hear what we told her to write and she just guessed and guessed wrong. So we lost to the other SANDIES by one point :) But I got two tokens for Wheel of Fortune :)

Walking around San Juan this afternoon, I got so tired I had to get back to the ship to take a nap. Feeling much better now.

Will try to post more later.

Phyllis

Thanks for the much anticipated seamail, Karen, Betty and Phyllis!

Sounds like a very fun time, despite the rocking and rolling! Hopefully, smoothe seas ahead!

Congrats on your winnings, Phyllis!

Don and I are here in Club.com. I just uploaded some photos. I will have to edit the post to insert them. Marcie, I never did anything with my MUSH photos. I've been too busy with work. I am doing some photography professionally and I haven't had much time with my day job keeping me ultra busy.

Pre Cruise Dinner at Bimini BoatYard

Don and Russ at Kareoke last night

Debbie and Russ going to Grand Turk

Dinner at Portofino

There they are. Now that didn't take long did it? LOL

Even inspite of the weather, this has been a fantastic cruise. Last night was the absolute best. We had such a great time meeting everybody last night at the B&K reception. Then we headed to Portofinos for the LCT group dinner and had so much fun. And if that wasn't enough, we then headed to Karaeoke.

Today we were late getting into San Juan, but what great weather we had today. Hopefully, the wind will die down some and we won't have rough seas tonight. We set sail at 11pm for St. Thomas.

Tomorrow I have a two tank dive and Diana is going to do some shopping. It may be the most expensive dive trip I have ever taken! LOL

More later.

I'm so glad y'all are having a great time!

Is it just me, or are those pictures so tiny they are impossible to really see? I can't tell who might be whom.

Kathy, do you suppose we'll ever get to see your MUSH pictures? I know everybody was waiting for them.

Okay, now that I've done my job as unoffical LCT Photographer (These are Don's photos)I can report in.

This is the perfect cruise - great people, incredible crew, and the ship is tip top. If only the weather would cooperate but we booked the ship as our destination and we couldn't ask for more.

We played trivia with TallShip and Don and Diana and we're having dinner with them tonight. We're in Puerto Rico late so everyone is off and the ship is very quiet. We came in late to avoid weather. Don and Diana and I went on a taxi tour of Puerto Rico for a few hours. Pretty scenery and a very low key afternoon. Tomorrow we're on the photographer's excursion in St. Thomas. I brought a number of lenses and my pack must weigh 50 lbs. I took lots of people photos, but I've been having too much fun to process them.
I promise I will upload them to my website and send a link. I am working on my portfolio for portraits, so new avatars for all the Sandie's who want them!

Anyway, time to get ready for dinner. More later

Pam,

Those photos were pretty large. You can see them by going to my photobucket site if you like:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/ChatKat/

They are in the Alaska 2001 album, I think.

I'd love to see them, but there's a password problem.

It's asking me for a password too?? Help Kathy!

Thanks for posting the pics, Kathy. Good to see LCTers having a wonderful time on this cruise!

I'm with you Pam. You need one of those big Sherlock Holmes type magnifying glasses to view them :(

These pix are in your Alaska album Kathy, or the MUSH pix? I also need a password...

See you are used to Ken posting BIG pictures. Fussy bunch arent we - any picture is better than no picture though.

My son Clay called today and said "what a great bunch of people". He has a couple of friends with him he does not get to spend much time with so I am surprised he is even socializing that much to know. They have a four year old son and need this break. Clay has "of course" been on many cruises and he said this was about the roughest he has experienced. Even his wife got seasick and she never gets seasick. I sure hope it settles down soon that is such a shame.

Ngaire, some of us are at "the age" that we really need to have Ken-sized pictures.

I do hope the water levels out! We had one rough day on Navigator in January, but only to the point that we felt like ping pong balls as we walked down the hallway (kind of like on Rovos).

Wow your trip sounds wonderful, but for the seas. The weather back in South Florida has been awful. My turn on the Navigator is on Monday when this group returns. I, for one, am looking forward to meeting Guissepe and Captain McNeil! Are either of them single? I am a single mom traveling with my kids and my entire family, all are paired off but me, making me the 13th wheel. I sure hope the seas have calmed down for you guys and you feel great the rest of the week!

Melinda

No, Melinda, they're not single. And neither are the ladies doing all the swooning! They're just enjoying the view. They're only human.

Enjoy your trip with your family, you'll have a fantastic time, don't worry about being a "13th wheel".

Boy, am I ever behind...it seems like it was just a few days ago that I asked Karen when she was leaving, to which she relied, "Sunday"...well, I apparently lost a whole week, because I thought they were leaving this COMING Sunday!! :eek:

Here's a very belated Bon Voyage...and a thank you to Karen for relaying my hug to the handsome Sheik! :hug:

Karen, I hope you and Mark are feeling better!

Oh, how I wish I could be there! Thank goodness for LCT and seamail! :D

Hi Gang!!
In St. Thomas today. The sun is out...slight breeze...perfect!!!! We went ashore and did a little shopping. Well, someone had to do it!!!!
Had the most DEEE...lightful dinner last night!! Arnold took good care of us. (Thanks, Ngaire for the clue!) The food, overall, on this cruise IMO has been exceptionally good!!!
After dinner, we joined a few people in Galileo's and enjoyed a beautiful sail away, from San Juan!
This is the first time we have sailed with John Barron & Lynsay (cruise directors). What a lovely couple. Captain McNeill is a very personable man, also!
Now the sad news.....our cruise is half over! :(

I just had some exciting news that even Debbie does not know yet, she is of course on SAND right now so let her know Sandies if you read this. This is why I am posting this here.

Ken and I will be on the Mariner sailing 12/3/07 Auckland to LAX that docks in Papeete on December 12th. Ken and I are disembarking in Papeete. Debbie is escorting the PG on December 12th departure.

Since both ships will be in port on the same day we have been trying to think about doing something special for those BK guests on the Mariner and those about to embark on the Paul Gauguin. Debbie and I have been working on this together.

We have put together a complimentary one night hotel package for the night of December 11th at the Radisson Hotel for Brown and Keene guests on the December 12 sailing of the Paul Gauguin. Also a transfer from the hotel to the Mariner the morning of December 12th to arrive at the Mariner in time for a SPECIAL BK AND LCT REUNION LUNCHEON for all BK guestS on both ships.

The morning of December 12th we will have a morning cocktail reception and then lunch on the Mariner for all the Paul Gauguin guests and Mariner guests.

Then the PG guests can walk over to the PG an have special early boarding on the PG as the Mariner sails at 2.00 pm. That will be neat too to be the first on board. Since Ken and I are disembarking the Mariner we will come over to the PG as well.

I think it will be so much fun with both groups coming together in Tahiti. It will be the first time we have been able to do something like this. I am pretty excited about it. It will be the first reunion of LCT cruisers from two trips aboard a Regent ship.

The ships are not in port together that much so it just seemed like such a fun and neat thing to do.

WOW Ngaire. What a fun & exciting thing to you. Just another reason why you & everyone at B & K are the best.
Makes me want to book one of those cruises.

Shoot - we'll miss all the fun - we embark the PG day you disembark 12/22.....

Hmm .. any captain who drops his kilt MUST be noteworthy! LOL.

Sounds like you've finally hit a good patch of weather and seas. Wishing we could be there with you!

Cheers, Anne

You are truly amazing, Ngaire.

Jan B and I are going to take a serious look at the PG 12/12/07 cruise while on board the Mariner.
This might be the perfect one for "on board" booking discount.

Ngaire, I am sure that somebody else has already told Debbie, but if not, I will make sure to pass the message along.

What a wonderful day today in St. Thomas. Weather was sunny and warm and beautiful. Diana went shopping while I got a couple of dives in. The water is so clear and the visibility was awesome. Our first dive was the wreck, the Senor Castanza, in about 65 feet of water. Saw a moray eel, some barracuda, and some sea turtles. The next dive was a reef dive, called Rye Reef. We had six other divers from our ship and about 19 from the Constellation.

Just got through playing trivia. Our team came in second today. We got 13 correct out of 15. I even came up with the correct answer for where the Navigator is now registered. It actually helps to read the lettering on the back of the ship sometimes! LOL

Got our onboard booking discount in place. I guess we are now official Society members now!

Comparing SS to RSSC, the differences are so minute! The service and the food onboard have been very good. A few things we like the way SS does better and a few things we like the way that RSSC does better, but none are deal breakers either way. I will post a more detailed comparison when we return.

I will say that I think the staff onboard has really gone out of their way to check on everybody to make sure that they are having a good time and seem to be much more accessable than on SS, but maybe that is just me, or maybe because we are sailing with such an elite bunch of RSSC sailors! LOL

The girls are off playing BINGO right now and tonight is the Society party and is Informal night. I do like that there is no formals nights onboard. Makes for a much more relaxing cruise.

Tomorrow is a day at sea and I have booked my massage for in the morning. Should have smoother sailings on the way back to Ft. Lauderdale. The captain says that we have a tail wind heading back and it should be much gentler, which is good news to all onboard.

More later...

Hi Texas Don,

Good hearing your day went so well! Sounds like you had some wonderful dives. Hope Diana made a significant dent in the credit card!

Enjoy tonight's Society party! Smoothe sailing and continued fun times!

I stopped at the casino and lost $60 in 5 minutes on the slot machine so I thought I better come and post so I would stay out of trouble!

Yet another delightful dinner, tonight we dined Marty and Erika at Guissepi's (sp) table so you know fun was had by all!! Guiseppi is just tickled pink that his soon to be bride, (if she says yes, he is going to pop the question next week) and his gorgeous baby son Lorenzo are coming aboard in two days. I think I have never seen anyone more excited!!

Tonight was also the SSS party and Marcie, you have a new goal to strive for, they are going to add a new tier level to be named titanium, I believe it was 400 nights or more. The perks that go along with titanium are "just about any thing you want"!

Tomorrow is a sea day and tomorrow evening is another dinner with Betty and Larry, I am really looking forward to eating with them again, Mark and I adore them!

Well, I better go check my email, I forgot to do it last time I was here.

PS
We are at sea full speed and no one is throwing up around me, lol, so we must be in calmer seas! Those last two days were the most brutal I have ever spent at sea, I am not as seasoned as I thought I was!
I will check back in tomorrow
xoxo

SOOOOO good to hear from you!!! Boy have you been missed!!!! Please tell Marty and the harem I miss them and I hope to cruise with Betty and Larry some day - Betty K has always been an LCT "super" gal :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hi, Karen - So glad the angry seas have subsided: unforgiving wind & white-capped waves VS glassy seas & balmy breezes = the agony OR the ecstasy. [Been there; done both of those... ] A toast to smooth sailing the rest of the trip! Our best to You, Mark, Betty, and Larry... and have a great dinner, you guys!!! Mia & Mark

Oh, what fun! Glad to hear that the seas have calmed - somebody on board please say hi for me to the Sheik!

Ngaire - I echo Mitch's comments - you are amazing. :)

Masaki

HI Karen, great to hear from you and glad everyone is feeling better. Please send my regards to Betty and Larry...they are so nice and lots of fun. Have a great rest of the time.

Nancy

Sounds like in spite of the rough seas earlier in the week you'all have managed to have a great time. Thanks Karen, Betty, Kathy, Don and Phyllis for keeping us updated and please say "hi' to Debbie and Russ for us.

Keep having fun and enjoying your last two days.

So good to hear from you guys and happy the seas are calmer!!

Ngaire, I love you PG/Mariner idea! How fun is that going to be!!

Tell John and Lynsay hello for Tom and me.

Hi!
Sense "All I Want For Christmas Is a Real Good Tan", this is the cruise for me!!! Lots of sunshine today!!
We are heading for Nassau today. The seas have improved considerably. I heard the Capt. explaining that it's because going south, we were cruising into the wind, now we are going with it!
Marcie, Larry & I had dinner with Lynsay last night. We did talk about you and Tom. All good, of course.
Looking forward to our dinner with Mark & Sweet Karen tonight.
Julie just stopped by and asked me to say hi to all of you.
Off now, to scout out a deck chair...
Later........

Thanks so much for posting, Karen and Betty!
Wonderful news that you are sailing on calmer seas!

Karen/Mark, Betty/Larry,

Have a terrific and memorable dinner together tonight. Hopefully, one day, Alan and I can join the four of you, cruising and dining!

Enjoy Nassau, LCTers!

Glad the seas have calmed, making SAND an even more wonderful cruise! Sounds as if everyone is have such a great time. Thanks, all, for posting so we landlubbers can live vicariously, dreaming of being onboard.

Here's to a fantastic finish!

Weather is Sunny Skies and 81 degrees and seas are smooth. We're somewhere between Grand Turk and the Bahamas. The usual sea day activities are happening.

We did the photo excursion yesterday in St Thomas and right from Paradise Point over the view of the harbor was a spectacular rainbow. The rest of the excursion was geared to camera newbies and the scenery less than I would have aimed my lenses at so we were disappointed. It was so different than the photo excursion in Tahiti. Tomorrow in the Bahamas, we will be wandering on our own so we can take photos.

During the sail away, Capt. McNeill played his usual bagpipe music and got into a horn blowing competition with the Holland America ship in port. That was really fun and the weather was perfect for it. Giuseppe and Lyndsay came by to visit with Diana and I who were taking it all in before we headed in for the daily Tea Trivia and Bingo Session. Oh - and Diana won (all of $15.00 if I might add)

I played blackjack with Brooke and Clay last night. Ngaire, you sure did something right and your son is a chip off the old block. Very delightful.

This morning we treated ourselves to Hot Stone Massages in the spa - heaven! We had lunch in CR but most everyone is doing Tex Mex by the pool. I am having a cocktail party in my room and I created a slide show of past cruises that I am sharing with the gang on board who cruised with me.

For full size photos, try using the guest password "LCT" on my photobucket link above. It took Don and me over an hour to get those few photos up and linked, so you will just have to accept that as the best we could do for this week. Either that or I could direct you to a website that sells reading glasses and all the photography on it is mine. (My first pro photo job) We kept crashing when we tried Kodak Gallery.

Well, Mark is trying to get a crew of card players for a Texas Hold'em game going. I hear the sound of cards shuffling and chips clinking and I have a blackjack tournement at three follwed by Tea, Trivia and Bingo. Ah, this is the life!

Oh, I did forget that Mr. Bean did his Cabaret show last night in Gallileo's. And he did mention Luxury Cruise Talk in his banter. He's definitely my favorite cruise director and Capt Dag and Capt Knute have an awful lot of competition! (and Capt. McNeill IS single, ladies)

Hi all,
Thank goodness we've stopped rockin' and rollin'. We are having a wonderful, lazy sea day. Tex mex lunch by the pool was fun. I played in the blackjack tournament for the second time and won, for the second time! Maybe I should play for real :D
The weather has been perfect. We had a lovely meal in our suite last night with Diana Krall on the CD player and the balcony door open.....
Tonight is Krew capers.
More later...

Another wonderful day today in paradise. The ship was rocking a little this morning but has pretty much flattened out this afternoon.

We had a very relaxing day at sea and a very nice lunch on the verandah of Portofino's looking out and just taking it all in. Hardly anybody out there at all.

Tomorrow is Nassau and hope the weather stays as nice as it was today.

More later...

Ngaire, I let Debbie know last night. That is sooo exciting and a great thing to do. I wish we could do both CROSS and the PG in December! Sure peeked our interest!

Julie, Don, Kathy, Karen....thanks for posting guys! You know we love seamail!!

No one has mentioned Wendy or Claudia?? They are there right?

Everyone,thanks so much for your posts and continue to enjoy your wonderful cruise.

Nancy

Sandees....I know you're enjoying your last few wonderful days. Hope the smooth seas continue!

We'll look forward to your return and lots of photos.

Well, it's our last full day onboard, dang did time ever go fast! I just checked the weather for Nassau, it doesn't look too good so maybe I will skip my tanning today and go over to Atlantis.

We were due to pull in at 3pm but the Captain said we will be several hours early so that is a bonus!

Our dinner last night with Betty, Larry, Don and Dianna was a blast. Of course Arnold had us all special order 2 nights before so most of us had surf and turf for dinner and I had my favorite desert, Baklava!!!! They sent up the leftovers to my room and I will be having that with breakfast this morning

Arnold combined with Franco really does create the perfect duo in the dining room. I am glad that Ngaire passed on that hint for us.

I have pictures to post of the dynamic duo but all my pix will have to wait till I get home

I think I will go get another latte and go sit on my balcony to watch us sail into port.

I will check back in later with an update of the day.

xoxo

Marcie, yes Wendy and Claudia are here. Last night we had pre-dinner cocktails with Wendy, David, Karen, and Mark in Frank and Kathys room. We were by the pool yesterday and saw Claudia working on her tan.

The dinner last night was fabulous with Mark and Karen and Larry and Betty. Arnold was great and ooooh the food. What a day yesterday. Today is a little yuch, but it is early and maybe this stuff will burn off by the time we hit Nassau. If it does, I think Diana and I are going to head to the beach.

Hard to believe it is almost over, it has gone by way too fast.

More later...

As others have said, it is very cloudy today!

Last night dinner was so fun, with Karen & Mark and Don & Diana! The food was yummy. We had pre-ordered lobster and lamb chops. Thanks to Arnold!!! Just wait 'til you see the photos! :)

My dear Joanna, I wish you were here, now! I can't wait for that cruise we will do together, hopefully sooner than later.
You too Nancy, Mia and Denise!!

Our cruise is drawing to an end. :( With this one, we will take away some very special memories. Having met handsome Mark and beautiful Karen and spending time with them, and all the other fun LCTers on this cruise!

It was great to meet Clay and Brooke. What a nice, good looking couple!!

And a real pleasure to cruise with Debbie and Russ!

So much more to tell, but later!!!

Betty, enjoy your last day!! You all have been missed and we look forward to seeing all the pictures when you return!

Don & Dianna, glad your first RSSC cruise won't be your last!!

So many people that are on SAND are people we've never cruised with before....hopefully this all will change one of these days soon!

I was thinking that too Marcie. So many on SAND I have not cruised with before either. Wish I could have been on board. Looking forward to pictures WITH names attached so we can figure out who is who.

I can tell you that those of you who haven't met Betty and Larry before are in for a BIG treat!! I now have a new sister and I just adore her from head to toe!!

Everyone I had never met before on this cruise are really super people and I feel lucky to have had the chance to get to know them! My list of "have to meets" is getting shorter and shorted but there are still many I am dying to meet one day!

Mark and Russ went tequilaing last night in the lounge, it is 10;30 and Mark is still laying in bed, lol! We are a few hours from Nassau, I think we are going over to Atlantis with Kathy and Frank. It is overcast but I don't think it is raining, I am going now to check the radar.

More later on tonight!

OHHHHH, I forgot to mention this!!! After 10 cruises, we finally had a picture taken that we didn't hide on the wall of shame!!! We actually bought this one!!! They had a huge bouquet of roses on one of the stair landings and the pictures that the ships photog took were really nice!!!

I'm sooo glad that you are all enjoying Sand. Please clear up the weather for us, we will be boarding the Voyager as you are disembarking the Navigator. Hope your last day is great.... and everyone wins big in the casino this evening :app: :app: If anyone will be at the port around noon, please stop by and say hello to us

Can't wait to meet Betty and Larry too Karen!!!

Have such a fun time at Atlantis today! We went as a family trip there with the kids about 12 years ago, lots of fun!!

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time in each other's company, Karen, Betty, Don (and spouses)! Comes as no surprise. We've yet to cruise with all of you, but hope to do so very, very soon. Don, looking forward to cruising CROSS with you and Diana, of course! Surely your fantastic first time experiences with SAND/RSSC have convinced you to book the entire CROSSing by now!

Have a great day!

Don is such a hoot on LCT and Betty adds so much with her great posts and wit so not surprised this group clicked!!!! (and of course Betty is a Gator she gets high marks from me :app: :app: ) and cruising with Mark and Karen very "special" - you have been missed but loved hearing about your fun times and dinners!

Wow - we just took on the pilot and we're on sail into Nassau. How pretty it is. I can see the shore from the computer here. Those pesky luggage tags were on our doors yesterday.

We had a great evening lastn ight - Cocktails as Don told you in our room with Shrimp cocktails/Cosmo's and cheese platter follwed by dinner with our WAVE/PIP friends, Wendy and David followed by a donation to the Casino and then Stars lounge where Jerry played guitar. We had drinks with Debbie, Russ, Julie and Chester, John and Lyndsay Barron; Off to the top deck to watch the sail in! And it's partly Sunny and Partly rain clouds!?!?!?

Everyone's reports make this trip sound like a really special one. Kathy, I'm envisioning your sail in to Nassau right now. Bittersweet since the cruise is ending soon, but so many happy memories ....

Hi, Betty - Your Saturday dinner sounded absolutely wonderful ... lamb, lobster and lots of good friends! :) Mark and I sure wish we could have joined You, Larry, Karen, Mark and the rest of the LCT gang ... but, hopefully, there are many future RSSC sailings on the horizon! By the way - South Florida is balmy and bright today, so the rest of the trip home should be smooth sailing! Mia

We walked around Atlantis with Betty and Larry, Mark and Karen and then we came back to the ship. Frank and I headed to Bay Street for a walk around and a little shopping. Off to trivia and tea before packing and getting ready for the AMEX Party and Dinner with Betty and Larry, Karen and Mark - in Arnold's station, of course! Beautiful weather hear. Ship is VERY quiet! Sad to be leaving.

You sure lucked out with John and Lyndsay on your cruise Sandies!! - they do such an incredible job of mingling with everyone!!! Tony and I would love to have monopolized their time but impossible as they have so many guests they cater to in such a charming way!!! A few of us stole away with them for a most memorable land dinner in Buenos Aires!

Hello all and sorry to hear your cruise is winding down. Enjoyed all the seamail and nostalgia for the Navigator and her staff is with me. Betty, you must remember to tell all when we have lunch in 3 weeks! ;)

All good things must come to an end...at least till the next cruise.....

This cruise was wonderful and we met so many wonderful folks. Really nice community and we can't wait to cruise again.

Navigator will go wireless as of tomorrow!!!!!

Tina

We will sure miss hearing from you all and so HAPPY you had a wonderful time on SANDS.

Since the next sailing is "nameless" I'm adding a photo taken tonight from our LCT dinner to send Andrea & Jerel off tomorrow on the Mariner! We had a delicious dinner at a Long Beach restaurant picked by Denise.

Andrea, Jerel, Dena & Grant, Denise & Alan, Tom and me. I don't know what is the matter but I can't seem to get this any larger!! I like the larger photos too!(sorry this is the best I could get it) Everyone is sitting across from their spouse.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/marciematassa/LCTLongBeachdinner-1-1.jpg?t=1166418639[/img]

Hoping the SANDees made some fantastic memories. Seems like we were just saying "Bon Voyage" to you all.

Marcie,

You sure posted our group photo quickly!

It was a wonderful LCT dinner tonight, welcoming Andrea and Jerel to SOCAL and toasting several glasses of wine, wishing Bon Voyage to Andrea and Jerel, as they embark on the Mariner tomorrow. Great food, conversation, and, most of all, fantastic company!

As one cruise disembarks, another embarks. Hopefully, lots of seamail and pics from Andrea and Jerel.

Andrea and Jerel,

It was a pleasure to finally meet you both! Alan and I hope to cruise with you someday soon!

Safe travels home to the SANDees!

I'm adding that we would have loved having Mary Ellen and Jim join us tonight too (if they flew in one day early) but none of us heard from you!! Please don't be shy!

Marcie,

Forgot to add - Your photo came over very clear and large enough for these old (and very tired from too much wine) eyes!

I will post the photo from my camera tomorrow, hopefully.

Just thought I would jump in here before we disembark today. We had a great time and it will be hard getting off the ship and leaving all our friends. So much to talk about and so much fun.

Looks like a fun group had dinner last night = love the picture!

Welcome home SANDee's!

Loved the picture from the LCT dinner with Andrea and Jerel yesterday.

Nancy

It was great fun to welcome Andrea and Jerel to the LCT Orange County chapter. A good time was had by all!

Dena

Well, this party is over - another cruise on the horizon. We had an inpromptu party in Don and Diana's room last night with Russ and Debbie and Wendy and David as well. Much more fun than the AMEX Party - we laughed so hard and we had a bird's eye view of everyone returning to the ship from Nassau. Then Dinner with Larry and Betty, Karen and Mark of course in Arnold's section.

Hard to believe that we're aren't booked to sail on Regent until CROSS; The Barrons will be boarding when we get off and Jamie and Dana will be on Voyager when we are cruising.

The Cruise was really near perfect - only too short is my only complaint!

Well, off to get a bite to eat before we board our flight. The Airport is very busy with holiday travellers. We were able to get on a flight much earlier than originally scheduled thanks to a great curbside rep - 4 hours earlier and still in First - yippee. We really lucked out - our bags were overweight since we shopped before the cruise.

Where was the Andrea and Jerel WABVD (now THERE's a catchy acronym :rolleyes: ) dinner held? What were your favorite courses?

Welcome back to all the SANDees and a special Bon Voyage to Andrea and Jerel, honorary members of the LCT Orange County tribe. It's a LOC! LOL!

Cheers, Anne

Anne, it was at a very good restaurant that Denise selected in Long Beach called La Crêperie Café (French but most things on the menu had an Italian flair).

Now tell me what WABVD stands for?

Hey, BP!

Curious about that acronym, too.

Alan and I had French onion soup. entree of Jambalaya crepes and bananas flambe crepes with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The food was really good. Very lively place with a piano player, which added to the festivities.

Sure would have loved for you and Gary to have been there! It was another perfect LCT gathering to welcome out-of-town LCTers to SOCAL!

BTW, Andrea looks beautiful!

Just about time to say "Welcome Home, SANDees!"

Welcome home SANDees!!

Welcome back, SANDees, from what sounds like an almost perfect cruise.

And thanks for posting the photo from the Southern California dinner. A great group, some of whom I hope to meet in person before too long!

Been back home for just a couple of hours. Bags are all unpacked and Diana is doing the laundry as we speak.

We rode to the airport with Frank and Kathy. They invited us to come with them to the Delta Lounge to hang out with them, but it was in a different terminal and Diana was still having a few stomach issues, so we decided to stay put and wait for our flight. I started working on our cruise review on my laptop at the airport, but didn't get too far. We bumped into Debbie, Russ, and her parents at the next gate waiting for their flight home, so we sat and chatted for quite awhile before we boarded sharing all the memories of the cruise. We plan on getting together with them after the holidays for dinner and reminscing over the pictures.

I can't say enough about all the fun us LCT'rs had on this cruise. What a great group of people to sail with. So many good memories.

Welcome home SANDEES! Sounds like a great cruise despite the rocky start!

Would love more pix of the OC dinner also!

Welcome home, Texas Don and Diana! You've been missed around here! Time to start planning for CROSS!

Sounds like a fantastic time was had by all!

Diana and Don: A big welcome home - you have been missed on LCT!!!

Where is the most wonderful Betty???? You and Larry were beloved on this cruise - NO surprise to me -

Glad all the Sandee's had a good time and are sorry to see their cruise end.

Well, phooey, Alan and I flew home tonight from Irvine after a short Christmas visit with his mom. We could have "almost" made it to the LCT send off for Andrea and Jeryl. Have a good time guys!

So glad you guys had a great time.

The following is too late for the Sandies,(I apologise for only reading the mail last night as I was finishing up a chapter) but hopefully will help someone else.

Last year on the Navigator, we too had alot of pitching and rolling. The solution if you could make it was to go into CR since in CR it felt like the ship wasn't even moving. One night Gil hadn't felt well. I went alone to CR and as I was sitting there, I realized it was very calm. I ran back to the cabin and insisted Gil get dressed and come down to CR. Paige, Anthony, Gordon and Rebecca were with us, and Anthony commented how Gil came into CR green and left looking normal. He had rice that night, but CR cured his seasickness.

Arlene, I don't think even Compass Rose would of saved us on our worst night! The seas were so rough that we could watch huge waves crash over the bow on the tv channel that shows the front of this ship. The waves were so intense, they were reaching the camera!

After 10 cruises, I can say that it was our worst day at sea, the first that I have seen Mark that green at the gills.

Arlene, boy are you right.l We just had lunch in CR and it was calm, but back in our room now we sure are rocking and rolling.

Hi Doris!! So happy to hear from you. I hope the seas calm down for you. In the meantime maybe you can just take up residency in a corner of CR!

Karen I feel your pain. We had 9' - 10' swells the night Gil got sick and you couldn't even feel the ship move in CR. (I guess they do that on purpose so they don't have lots of sick diners at night.)

Hi everyone...just wanted to report back after disembarking from Navigator today that it was everything I hoped for and more. There were 13 of us in all, and every single one of us from the youngest to the oldest had a blast. The crew were delighted having kids on board and went out of their way to make all the kids on board, about 30 or 40, feel welcome and at home. Santa stopped by on Christmas Day (we couldn't go to Roatan so got an extra day at sea) and had gifts for every kid. Guisseppe popped the question in front of all to see, and it was the most lovely and romantic thing I think I've ever seen. He then quickly dove into the pool, uniform, stocking cap, and all! The captain, the social staff, the wait staff, the butlers and stewardesses...I hated leaving. They pretty much had to wheel us off from all the food and wine. All in all, a super time was had by all!

Melinda

Melinda, I am glad you had such a good time!! I would of LOVED to see Guiseppi pop the question, I bet that he was a nervous wreck!

Karen, we actually have a picture or two, and also of Baby Lorenzo and his mom...what a great looking family! I will see if I can't figure out how to post the picture. I just looked at the pictures from last week's trip that are on line...my kids and I are feeling lost with no one to cater to our every whim right now, lol.

Melinda, can you link us to where the pix are online? I have only seen the picture of Lorenzo that Guiseppi uses as his screensaver, I bet he has grown since that picture was taken!

Giuseppe was so excited about proposing! Melinda, thanks for reporting in. I look forward to the photos.

Hi...if you can send me an email address, I will send you the pictures, but I don't have them up on a site and not sure how to upload them here. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!

Melinda,

If you send them to me at krappaport@aol.com I will put them up on the Ofoto site for everyone to see.

I emailed them, so please let me know if you didn't get them.

Melinda

They're on the Ofoto site under Melinda's Navigator Pix
