Great first night on board. Wonderful weather and so much fun to see everyone again. Lots of laughter and drinks flowing. We had dinner with some new people. Sue is a lurker who has posted once under Seadreamer. WE need to get her posting more a super person. She was interested in meeting all the on line people in the flesh. Sue used to live in Joanna Mondae's home town so they had a nice talk. She is with her husband and daughter. Then another couple that also fit right into the LCT group instantly. Rod and Cynthia who I hope many more of you can meet in the future.

A large group sat outside the HOrizon Lounge on the deck with the LOVELY EMILY keeping all the libations coming as we got noiser and nosier. Good thing we had parked ourselves outside. Tony was in rare form. The sea was like glass and the temperature absolutely perfect. We finally pulled ourselves away from the tables at about 12.30 am since we had an early start in Mykonos the next morning.

We have organized an area of the Observation Lounge in the back corner to meet each night so we can wander down to dinner together without having to make so many formal arrangments. I really do like that more relaxed style of getting together.

Not as many pooch players here and very little time to play with NO sea days and ports to investigate daily. I promised Mark we would find time to play but need to get a few more people addicted to the game along the way. Maybe a game after trivia might work. Time will tell it will all work out in the end.

DINNER was fantastic last night. That great seafood appetizer with shrimp and crab, sweet potato soup, spinach mimosa salad, prime rib and of course a special order of rack of lamb followed with mixed berries and whipped cream. I felt RIGHT at home. Yes, 13 more days of this will be a just fine with me. All this came with a great shiraz. LIFE IS GOOD

Off to Myknonos. Arlene is coming with us today and Marc is off to Delos. We are going to wander, shop, take a coffee on the foreshore with the pelicans and soak up that special ambiance that is Mykonos.
