I hope it doesn't seem strange to end this seamail with a military slant. That is not what this cruise was all about as you have read from my seamail and all the others who made this trip so very special. But for me it became even more special when we were in Honolulu one week ago and were privileged to spend an evening on the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed that ended WWII.


And to lastly wish everyone a very Happy Christmas with a view of the wreaths that honor our fallen at the National Cemetery, "The Punchbowl" also in Honolulu. I am so glad you could come along.
