Hi all.

Just got off the phone with Marcie. What a great surprise, once again.

She is having such a great time meeting everyone. Marcie is ecstatic! From the sound of her voice, it appears it has finally set in that this trip is REAL and happening RIGHT NOW! They are anxiously awaiting their departure out of LA, which should be very soon now. She was trying to make as many calls as she could before her cell phone cut out.

She shared a very funny story about their transport from St. Regis to the ship. They were waiting their turn to get into a limo, when a stretch limo pulled up. They were asked to please get inside. Marcie got in and moved over, to allow Tom and several others, whom she assumed would be joining both her and Tom, in the car. After they both got in, the driver told them they were now going to go to the ship. It was just the two of them in that stretch limo. She said that 10 others could have easily joined them!

So glad that they are having the times of their lives on this trip!

Alan made her promise that she was going to call us at every port they docked in! Yeah, right!

I am now going to get my ruby slippers on, click my heels three times and say, "I wish I were Marcie, I wish I were Marcie, I wish I were Marcie!"
