Hello all,

I've gathered a wealth of information from LCTers over the past couple of years and have met a few of you on Regent's '06 WC, so I thought it was time to lurk no more and join in.

My husband Lou and I have always traveled when we could fit it in between our work schedules. Prior to the world cruise, we had never taken a trip longer than 3 weeks, or a cruise longer than 10 days, so taking a 4-month sabbatical from both of our jobs was looked upon as rather unusual by family and friends. The experience changed our life and now there's no turning back! Like so many others, we posted an on-line blog, which kept us connected to all of our loved ones back home and allows us today, to re-live all of our wonderful memories.

Because of our wonderful experience last year, we decided to sell our home on Cape Cod and downsize so that we can retire and travel more. We weren't actually prepared for our house to sell quickly, but it did, so now we are "in between" homes and considering relocating to Georgia or South Carolina.

We recently booked the Navigator's Fall '08 DC from Monte Carlo to Ft. Lauderdale and I've seen on the boards that several LCTers will be doing this as well, so I hope to make some new friends on this trip.

Thanks to everyone for all of your past advice and I'm sure I will need lots more to prepare for our next wonderful Regent experience.

Tina
