We're making good headway. We are sitting in Lufthansa lounge at Athens airport waiting for our flight. We got lucky and have a 2hr.30min flight to Munich, a 1 hour layover than a NON-STOP to LAX (12 hr.30min..) all in Biz class. We'll be home sleeping in our own beds tonight.

As unfortunate as this incidence has been, we did have a lot of fun with old friends and meeting new ones.....kind of like a big 4 night Ho-Down party with lots and lots of laughs and fun. Many hugs good bye as one by one we're getting off the ship. Last big hug was to Joanna & Tony here at the airport. They're off to Singapore for a week or so to visit their son Carter. Our flights leave the same time so we'll wave across the tarmack.

Sweet Olivia was up early for our send off from the ship. She and others must be out by tomorrow morning when the Voyager leaves for dry dock. Regent is puting them up at Intercontinental with $100. per person daily allowance for food and beverage. Talked to several who will be there until their flight on Monday. Others don't have any clue as to when they'll get a flight.

Ngaire & Ken have been the BEST, always making sure everyone is taken care of before caring about themselves!!

Considering what has happened on this cruise to nowhere, I'm disappointed that Capt. Mario did not make his presence known except making announcements as needed. I think it would have been good Regent PR had he been visible once in awhile around the ship (McNeil, Dag, Knute, type of interaction). Capt. Mario stayed in hiding.

So that's the latest on the Matassa end !
