Suzanne,
We didn't do a crossing with Denyse (although I'm pretty surey I know who you are talking about :) ). We met them in the med on Seabourn in 02'. At the time we were living in New Mexico and they were living in the city. Now we both live in Montclair, within a mile of each other!
I say we have a loooooong lunch together....of the cruising variety. The Claremont hotel....
