Yes, and I'm sorry we didn't meet either. There always seemed so much going on (including the chosen Not doing much of anything!!). I sure appreciate your photos and think that the one of that little racal captures him perfectly. What a trip, just can't say enough about the wonderful crew and the scenery.We're going to do the Cooks and Australs next. Had no problem convincing my husband which is something as this cruise was a bit of a stretch for us but so well worth it. Did you hear any of the rumor floating around that the terrific Philippino crew was going to be phased out? To us, they are one of the main assets of that cruise.
