Well just back from Taorimina - what a beautiful place. We walked around with Tom and Mona, then Frank, Tom and I went up to the roman theater - very impressive, not to mention the views. Just a wonderful place. Did a little shopping and then stopped for some lunch and of course wine and beer.

Came back and did a little packing and organizing. Now just relaxing. Don't know if there is pooch today, but probably not, although we will most likely have everyone back in time for trivia.

Tonight is the big birthday celebration for Arlene and Rod. The "athens group" will be dining together along with, so rumor has it, the Captain and Ngaire and Ken - so it should be a very festive evening.

Tomorrow Sorento, one of our favorite places.

Life is good here in paradise, not to mention the wonderful people we are cruising with - we have had so much fun and enjoyed everyone.

Well Frank just came by and said he was going to the pool bar, so guess I'd better hussle up there, time for wine!!!
