My husband John and I are excited to sail on the Paul Gauguin under the new manangement and we are going to Fiji for the first time on May 8. We could not pass up this opportunity. If anyone wants to join us PG cruises is offering a fantastic deal including a complimentary upgrade to a balcony and free air from LAX. I know this is last minute but it would be fun to sail with some fellow LCTers. They are also offering the same deal on the May 22 Fiji sailing.

Hi Susan,
Was wondering where you find the PG itinaries? Sounds great, I have always wanted to see Fiji!

Hope all is well, have fond memories of our SA cruise.

I have checked and PG cruises will honor the Regent, Silversea, Seabourn, Crystal, WindStar past guest 5% discount as well. In addition, until tomorrow there is a 0 single supplement. At this point these deals are capacity controlled so we do not know when they will expire. However, the 0 single supplement expires April 30.

As you know, we did the Fiji trip last fall - we are envious - it is a great trip. The exposure to the contrast in cultures as you move westward through the islands is fascinating,

Joan and I dove with JMC when we did the Marquesas on the PG a few years back. He wouldn't remember me but might remember Joan as the woman who could breathe for 3 days on a 40 cu. ft. tank!

Have a great trip.

Ted and Joan

Ted and Joan,
I am sorry that I won't see Jean Michel on this trip unless he offers a dive in Savusavu. If I do see him I will mention Joan's amazing ability. I certainly will mention you both to Dominique.
