Marcie - like everyone else said, I am full of envy and will have to live this wonderful adventure thru you, so please keep the posts coming.
I think your shoe count is acceptable, as long of course as they all match!!! haha!
Have a most wonderful time!
PS - the lady you met isn't named Cherry is she? We met a Cherry on the last segment of the 2003 World on Mariner, we were doing the Panama Canal, and there were 36 people still left on from the World. What interesting people they were and fun adventures to tell about.
