Marcie, you share your excitment so well...it feels like we're right there along side you.

Your note made me remember our long cruises. My DH (another Tom) loved giving many of the passengers nicknames, some of them quite discriptive. We also made up our own little histories for them. It was great fun. On long voyages you get to know so many people, you become almost an extended family.

Every evening as we raised our cocktail glasses our toast was # of days until the end....as the number got lower I always felt a little sad. You'll be amazed how quickly the next 108 days will fly by.

To this day when we're joking around we'll clink glasses and say a number! Sometimes it's the days until our next cruise....and now it's when our remodel might finally be done - that's not a warm fuzzy moment! LOL

I can tell you're cherishing the moments...we love sharing them with you.
