everybody will be hitting the ground running tomorrow, some on private tours and some on Regent tours, We all have a mandatory "face to face" passport inspection with Israeli immigration in the morning; first calls begin at 6:30 AM.

Today was all about R&R and indulgence - a morning martini mixing class, Mediterranean fish bbq on the deck, World of wine wine tasting, Chocholic tea time, block party, B&K cocktail party, dinner with staff, etc. Whew!

We did manage to get in two pooch games for two tables of six - we shared space in the card game with the much more subdued MAriner club kids working on some beading projects. We sort of tried to curtail our language, when we remembered, with Susan uttering the immortal Texan phrase of disgust of the day DAG GUM, followed by other equally colorful explications of DAB NABBIT, etc.

Four long days ahead - we'll try to get some photos posted.
