Margo - thank you for your fantastic travelogue! I've just caught up with your sailing adventures. We should meet up some time on board. I love the snorkeling expeditions, too, so appreciate the inside info on what to expect and the quality of the snorkeling locations. I'm glad Tom recovered so quickly and you did not get ill.

We haven't been on Mariner in some time, so it's good to get an update on her services and conditions. We'll sail her again on Panda in the fall.

The internet drives me nuts, too. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison, but after using the internet on SeaDream (very reliable and lickety-split fast), I'm way less patient with the answer "we're working on it".

Have a safe journey home. We've missed you and Tom.

Cheers, Anne
