I've been lurking in the shadows for months. Now that we have our first Regent cruise under our belts, I thought I'd introduce ourselves.

I'm Judy and my husband is Steve. For the past 7 years we've called the coast of Maine our home. Helping us make our home a wonderful place to live, are two 80 pound black labs, one 22 year old cat, one teen age son and one 91 year old mom.

Steve is 57 and is in the technology industry. He's able to work from home 75% of the time. He's a private pilot, loves to read and can be very handy in the kitchen.... I'm 49 and a stay at home mom. (I prefer the title domestic goddess, or she who must be obeyed) I enjoy gardening, hiking, cooking, entertaining and making plans for our next travel adventure.

We've been on 10 cruises in our 23 years of marriage. The first being a Barefoot Cruise for our honeymoon.After that, we've cruised mostly with the larger cruise lines...Our Regent cruise last month was our first experience with a luxury line. The Navigator and her crew exceeded our expectations. We also had such a wonderful time meeting our fellow passengers. Everyone was so nice! We're looking forward to another journey on the Navigator in March, and hope to sail on one of Regents other ships in 2010, when we'll be celebrating our 25th.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your cruising knowledge. It's been very helpful.

Cheers,
Judy and Steve
