John and I are home from a wonderful CLEO experience. We're probably the first to get home, as our flight from Istanbul to Frankfurt left at 5:50 a.m. We had a 2:00 a.m. wake-up call and left the Mariner at 3:15. Didn't manage to make it before we left, but we were informed that coffee corner would open at 2:30 a.m. for the early departees!

CLEO was a fantastic trip, with extremely interesting sights -- as can be seen from the great pictures that have been posted -- and a really great group of people plus the Mariner in good shape with tip-top service. Memories of a lifetime ....
