M'ellen -- Loved your latest report! I hope we can duplicate your experience for good weather, and I'm really happy to get the information for doing Gerainger on our own. That may be what we decide to do since it sounds as if taxis are manageable; we would prefer that to a bus tour when possible.

The lecturers you have mentioned sound excellent. We love to get detailed information on the places we will be visiting, so I'm happy to hear about the high quality of the onboard lectures. Would it be possible to find out if the same lecturers will be on our July 23 sailing also? I hope so.

Thanks again. I'm eagerly awaiting your next post, if your schedule permits.
