It's time for all of us to wish a "Bon Voyage" to Marcie & Tom. I'm wishing you an absolutely wonderful time on your World Cruise. And we'll be remembering Jill and all your furry friends under her care while you are experiencing exciting new adventures. You know we'll be looking for reports from on board.

Bon Voyage is right! What an awesome trip you will have and we will look forward to many wonderful posts!!

Have a fantastic journey, Marcie and Tom! We know how much you've been anticipating this long-awaited cruise and the time has now come to sail to so many parts of the world so many of us can only dream of.

Please remind Jill we are but a phone call away if she needs anything.

Looking forward to reading lots of reports. Have a safe and wonderful time!

Denise & Alan

Enjoy the trip of a lifetime!

And keep all of us jealous LCTers informed.

BON VOYAGE!

Just think of all the exciting things you will see! I hope you and Tom have wonderful trip!

Oh, the time has finally arrived! Be sure to keep a journal so you can report back to us really, really often.

Have an incredible time!

Marcie, you and Tom are going to have a fantastic time. I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to hear bout your adventures in exotic ports. Take care and have fun.

This is a trip of a lifetime... have a simply marvelous time!

Thank you all so much!! What a day...pouring rain! Tomorrow afternoon we're being picked up for the St. Regis then Wednesday we board. As of now it shows rain most of the week EXCEPT Wednesday...let's hope this is correct.

We're ready! I know Jill is getting so sick of me giving her so many instructions, "don't forget this's and that's". According to her, I've told her the same things over and over. (she's probably right!) I've got visitor's passes for my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and Jill to all come on board Wednesday. As excited as I am (and I REALLY AM)...I bet I'll cry when I walk out of the house tomorrow and say good bye to my pets for 109 days!

Marcie,

The hardest part of travel is leaving the babies behind. I always take a photo and put it up on the mirror at the dressing table.

Wishing you and Tom the best trip of a lifetime.

Bon voyage, Marcie and Tom! Keep us posted on all your adventures.

MarnaLou

Marcie, a dream of a lifetime has finally arrived! Post lots, and have a great time!

Bon Voyages to all of you!!

I'll leave behind all good wishes for you guys when I disembark.

Marcie:

I hope you buy lots of internet time because I don't think we can get along without your daily posts.

Have a wonderful adventure, cherish every moment and remember to share those memories with us!

Bon Voyage,

Marcie - Leaving pets is harder than leaving people I think! At least you know that Jill will take good care of everyone! Drop us a line here and there - and have a safe and fabulous world cruise!

Marcie & Tom..Fair winds and Following seas as my Navy buddies say...We join in the well wishes for you magnificent world cruise...Pls send us seamail often...r/wes

Marcie & Tom -

Have a wonderful cruise! Keep us posted as to your exploits.

Marcie & Tom,

Have a simply MARVELOUS time!! We'll all be there in spirit with you. Great idea to take pictures of your babies. It will help.

Marcie, I imagine you will still post when you can (please, please do!!) but it won't be the same as you being with us all the time. We'll miss you!!! Good luck on your eating and workouts while you're gone. Touch base with our 12 Steps(Away from the Fridge)group whenever you need some encouragement. You'll do fine. You looked great when I met you!!!

Both of you take care and have the most wonderful time!!!

Cyndi

Have a great trip!

Bill (and Nancy)

Please try and upload and post some photos along the way!!

And, don't let Tom catch you and Captain Dag together in that mens'room!

We look forward to your very informative reports. Enjoy every minute!
Gail and Rich

Wishing you a safe, and incredible cruise !!!
Enjoy each and every minute of it !

Good point, Suzanne. That reminded me to tell Marcie to pack the loin clothes while she's at it!

:b:

Oh m'gosh, Marcie and Tom! I can't believe the day is actually here. Have a WONDERFUL time and do write messages when you can. I don't know how we will manage without your regular posts!

I soooo understand what you're feeling about leaving your pets. But Jill will take good care of them. Maybe she can e-mail you a digital photo of them every now and then when they do something particularly cute.

All the best as you start this trip of a lifetime!

I hope the 2 of you can sleep tonight. If you can't, you can party all day tomorrow & Wednesday, then have a long lovely week of sea days to rest up for your big adventure.
Have a grand, grand time.

Marcie and Tom,

Wishing you a wonderful cruise and lots of great new experiences. You're going to have an amazing time, I'm sure.

And, since your posts are probably as close as I'll ever get to an RSSC world cruise, I'm definitely looking forward to every report. ;)

Have fun!

Kathy

Marcie and Tom - have a wonderful time. Keep a journal on that lap top - we want to know about all your adventures - so exciting! we will all sail around the world vicariously with you!

Leslie

Marcie,

Wishing you both a marvelous time! I will be reading your posts - can't wait to hear about all the exotic ports of call you will see.

Ginny

Marcie & Tom: Clyde and I echo all the good wishes of above. We hope your trip is the very best of your life. Keep us posted. Jean

Marcie & Tom, have a wonderful cruise. Please keep in touch and let us know how the cruise goes. Really interested in your feelings about being gone for so long, the new places you will see, and gossip about your fellow passengers.

Have fun! And remember, you can book the 2006 World Cruise Wednesday onboard! I don't think you have to deposit until later so nothing to lose....who knows...you might decide world cruises are the only way to go!

Marcie,

I will admit, I am a little envious...o.k., a lot envious. :) But, if not me, then I am glad it is YOU going on a world cruise. I know you will take us all with you, through your wonderful posts, and I am looking forward to each and every one. Have a wonderful time!!!!

Betty

You guys are the BEST!!! hey...whatever I forgot, we'll still survive! Got the docs and passports...everything else is secondary right? If Ngiare can survive with two left shoes, we'll be in good shape!

I probably won't sleep tonight! I'll post when possible and be THINKING of ALL OF YOU everyday! When I say I'll miss my family...I hope you know this includes all of you! Thanks for such a wonderful send off!! I'm so happy you'll be with us in spirit! Our longest cruise thus far is 11 days...this is a huge LEAP! I've got a kitty in my lap and a dog at my feet as I type...Life is good! (Tom is on the couch snoring away without a care in the world...how does he do it??)

Marcie and Tom,
have a super wonderful time

And in my mind, I can hear Tom and Marcie ringing the Voyager World Cruise bell at home as they depart. May you have a wonderful cruise and bring home unforgettable memories. :)

Masaki

This going to be a dream trip for you. Hope you settle in well and have a superb time!

Trish

Masaki...I was thinking about the bell too...can hear it ringing! Wish I knew how to add the sound!

Marcie and Tom, just to echo everyone's sentiment in having an amazing next 109 days. I'm sure there's no need to twist your arm!
