I'm so sorry to hear that Tom has hurt his back and needed to bow out of the dancing with the Mariner stars competition. Everything else sounds great. Thanks so much to all of you for keeping us informed with your frequent, funny and teasing posts.

Karen - at the very beginning of your cruise I actually had a nightmare that something horrible happened with the LCT board and with both you and Ken over in New Zealand we had no one to bail us out. We do depend on you for so much. But, as far as I know, everything here has gone smoothly or else someone has taken care of stuff. Continue having a wonderful second half of your vacation.
