We love the free laundry --now if I can just get Jerry to pare down his packing accordingly --he's still thinking a 30 day cruise must mean he should bring 30 shirts . We actually do use some of our however-many-hours of phone time. Our grandkids love to get phone calls from out of the way places. Their favorite is the time we called from Zanzibar. They'll probably be pretty impressed getting a call from Israel too.
