Well we had a great flight to FLL with no delays as projected. We are staying at the Hyatt and it is quite nice. Long walk to some of the rooms. The group at the Holiday Inn Express are happy with their hotel also.

Gorgeous day, sun shining. Ken and I arrived at around 3.00 pm so we took a walk around a residential neighborhood that backs onto a water canal. Wow there are some absolutely spectacular homes here, cannot imagine the price tags.

At 7.00 pm we met at the Bimini Boat Yard. We had 18 people at two tables of nine. The food and company was great. Seeing Olivia, Jim and Jan again was so wonderful. Also for me so nice to see some people that were not actually coming on the cruise and spend a little time with them. They are not LCT posters. To have a full 14 day cruise ahead of us it means so much more time to visit with the LCT group, so many more dinners to share, 7 days just goes by so quickly. Briefly met Bette and Marty and Carol and Charles (Jim and Jan’s friends) looking forward to getting to know them over the next few weeks.

I am really anxious to get onboard the Voyager. No matter how much I cruise I just love being on the ships. Will post again after we board.

On board now - last night guess what -- herb crusted rack of lamb. We ate with Debbie (my office) and Russell, Olivia and Marjorie (one of my new adopted mothers). Had a wonderful time, the food and company was great. Then we went up stairs to the Observation lounge with Jim, Jan , Bing and Carol and ended the night upstairs. It is so nice to be back on board the Voyager.

The ship is beautifully decorated, I think it looks lovely.

Great staff, Dag, Steph, Patrick and many others all send their best to Marcie and all the other LCT members they know.

Formal night to night so we know it will be another great meal. They originally had New Years as country club casual black and white. It has changed to Formal black and white. I guess many people wanted that so they changed.

So off to my first lunch aboard. The day is glorious sun is shining and we have been doing nothing this morning. We are in Key West. After lunch we will go ashore and stroll around. We are parked right in town so that is very handy.
