Back home with many wonderful memories. My three girls had a wonderful time. We all woke early and sat in the front of the Observation lounge, drinking cappucino and eating pastries as the locks filled and lifted our ship forward through Canal.

Other glimpses of special memories...
Santa emerging from the 12th deck, down the stairs past the pool with gifts for everyone of the 65 kids on board...
Watching fellow passengers on video on CHannel 4 singing songs that included the "word-of-the-day"..
Playing bingo in the Horizon lounge...
Arriving back to our suite after a long day on an excursion and having cavier and jumbo shrimp on the veranda...
Watching the kids jump the waves in the pool on "at sea" days...
Playing Rummicube at the game tables on Deck 5...
Watching a great magician, Nick Lewin, leave the audience either in laughter at his jokes or in amazement at his tricks...
Hearing Glenn, the CD, relaying all of the evening options at 10:45pm with her "And if you don't like that choice, make another one!"...
Being greeted by Dennis every morning in La Veranda with toasted bagels for the girls...

I could go on and on. It really was lovely.
Happy New Year all,
Susannah
