I just had some exciting news that even Debbie does not know yet, she is of course on SAND right now so let her know Sandies if you read this. This is why I am posting this here.

Ken and I will be on the Mariner sailing 12/3/07 Auckland to LAX that docks in Papeete on December 12th. Ken and I are disembarking in Papeete. Debbie is escorting the PG on December 12th departure.

Since both ships will be in port on the same day we have been trying to think about doing something special for those BK guests on the Mariner and those about to embark on the Paul Gauguin. Debbie and I have been working on this together.

We have put together a complimentary one night hotel package for the night of December 11th at the Radisson Hotel for Brown and Keene guests on the December 12 sailing of the Paul Gauguin. Also a transfer from the hotel to the Mariner the morning of December 12th to arrive at the Mariner in time for a SPECIAL BK AND LCT REUNION LUNCHEON for all BK guestS on both ships.

The morning of December 12th we will have a morning cocktail reception and then lunch on the Mariner for all the Paul Gauguin guests and Mariner guests.

Then the PG guests can walk over to the PG an have special early boarding on the PG as the Mariner sails at 2.00 pm. That will be neat too to be the first on board. Since Ken and I are disembarking the Mariner we will come over to the PG as well.

I think it will be so much fun with both groups coming together in Tahiti. It will be the first time we have been able to do something like this. I am pretty excited about it. It will be the first reunion of LCT cruisers from two trips aboard a Regent ship.

The ships are not in port together that much so it just seemed like such a fun and neat thing to do.
