Denise & Ginny,

We had one formal night and the rest were ccc last week. Signatures does require informal dress, so jackets are needed for men. I like Tom's method of wearing his jacket in the door and then removing it. That's one way to buck the system.

I understand your desire to experience formal night, Ginny. I do think that people should dress formally, if they so choose. However, I'd really like to see that as an option, rather than a directive.

We really try to pare down what we take along on trips. Packing and wearing formal attire is something we would never consider if we had the choice. One night is OK. I'm just very pleased to read that the rest of the nights suit our preference - CCC.

Thanks, Beth! Hope you are feeling better very, very soon!
