David - my apologies! Good to know who the POOCH sommelier is for future cruises. Any future sailings booked?
Mary Ann and Bill - the HAL Istanbul to LA sounds like a great sailing! So far, we've booked sydney to hong kong legs of the Mariner world cruise in March-April and the Black Sea Sept. 18 departure on Navigator for 2009. The auckland-LA looks tempting for late 2008, especially since it includes the days in Tahiti.
Great to hear from you! Happy Holidays.
Cheers, Anne
