All I can say is WOW! I can't imagine being on a ship for 3 months - although I'd sure love to give it a try!!! When we went on Mariner May of 2003 Panama Canal, there were 36 people still on from the World - some of them were very interesting and we enjoyed meeting them. One of the couples was from Manhattan Beach CA, where I grew up, so we talked a lot - but they were supposed to get off in Ft Lauderdale, but said they decided to stay on for the Canal segment because it was cheaper than shipping all their stuff home from FLL!!! I thought that was funny!
Anyway - I'm sure you and Tom will have a most wonderful time and we will all be waiting to hear your various reports.
cheer cheer cheer Woooooohooooo!!
