Aw, thanks everyone! You've made my day. Betty, you are right that it has been too long since we've been on a Regent ship, not since November 2007. I am so eager to be back onboard, and it will be fun learning my way around the Mariner. Wish some of our good friends were along, but I'll try to keep you posted by seamail.

Denise, if we "have a situation" I'll call you for help.

Since it's near the end of the day on Thursday, I am calling it THREE days and counting until we fly off to Vancouver first thing Monday morning.... :D :D
