What an amazing afternoon it's been. First I was sitting in the Coffee Corner reading all of your messages when a young man comes by - walks past me and then turn to say hello and ask if I was Margo - you know how much those little avatars look like the “real” article!

Anyway I had the delight of meeting Dave and his father Herb. Many of you have cruised with Herb and his wife, Marilyn (Marinergal). Herb asked me to pass along his regards to Ardis – I’m not sure she’s reading this thread while on the Voyager but he has some wonderful stories and memories of their time cruising and playing trivia together.

He told me about how Marilyn became ill on their way to the Grand Pacific Voyage. He has made many friends among crewmembers in the Regent family and we talked about those we knew in common.

He is sharing this voyage with his son and granddaughter. I’m so happy we had a chance to meet. While Herb never posts on LCT he wanted me to tell you he visits here many times each day and enjoys reading what we all have to say.

After that wonderful meeting I went off to the theatre to see the screening of The Queen. We’ve had some very good “Big Screen” movies during this cruise.

After the flick I wandered into Trivia – I haven’t played very often feeling a bit dim when it comes to most topics but today was our day – our team won! It was a comedy of errors – the questions were old ones and the crowd kept shouting out “we’ve had that one!” Kiri kept going and found 14 questions that no one remembered hearing before! The 15th question was a repeat but at that point we were all laughing so much it didn’t matter.

Tonight Crew Capers will be done during the Captain’s Farewell Party – we’ve been much like Cinderella on this cruise – off to bed long before midnight so at least this show will be one we can enjoy!

Thank you to all of you for your notes – I enjoy writing about cruising – I appreciate it when others do the same.

Cerinda – I promise there are some chocolates left!!!!! I just wish we could stay onboard to join you.

Leslie...the coffee is wonderful - very strong - they also make all the lattes etc. to order. I think you'll be happy with it.
