Hello from the Navigator! We got internet service back this morning, and every suite gets five free hours for our patience. There ARE supposed to be "hot spots" but I don't know yet where they will be. I'll hopefully know more before we get off. Arlene, my Cingular phone registered with a Mexican service and I could get through to my voicemail (just couldn't remember how to access it, but I think it was from Rich).

We had dinner with Guiseppe (hotel director, and I'm sure I have mangled his name) night before last. What a conversationalist! Ngaire, he sends his love. Suzie and Marilyn had dinner with the captain; they told him that they are Ngaire's children and that he should take very good care of them.

I had to teach my stewardess the difference between feather and not-feather pillows, before we accumulated every pillow she could find. She was trying hard, but had no idea what I was talking about.

Last night's deck barbeque was cancelled because of thunderstorms that kept tormenting us, but the mariachi band played in several areas including the dining room.

Ricardo has ordered a gallon of cinammon ice cream for our table, for tonight. That's going to be interesting, because (1) we are having a party in our suite at 6:00, (2) the SSS cocktail party is tonight. We are going to have to be rolled back to our suites.

Cozumel looks bad. We'll be going onshore later today, so I'll let you know what I see.
