I'm sitting here at my desk remembering what it's like in the early dawn as the ship approaches the Port Everglades Cruise Terminals.

All the hustle and commotion on the docks, the passengers leaning out from their verandas to get they firsts views of land in many days. They sip a cup of room service coffee as they enjoy their last few moments of cruising. Some are worried about how quickly they can get off the ship and to the airport. Others are wondering why they should ever leave...to cruise on, always my dream! How does one stowaway???? OK, got to snap out of this, it isn't even my cruise!!!!!

One last request for our CROSSers, let's see the photos soon! We've loved your tales of adventure and will enjoy seeing the visual memories you brought back in your cameras. So do the pics first, the luggage can wait!!!!
