Terry, both joannpv and I are bring on lots of family, I think about 20 between us, and almost all are new to cruising and we really want them to enjoy the Regent experience for the first time. Any way we can convince Regent to put you on in Vancouver for August 30 and MUSH, and what, the 70+ lct members on this cruise? You have such great fans among Ngaire's clients and others on this board. In Alaska, the commentator can really make a good cruise into one that is spectacular! In my business view, "office work" is never more important than "people work"! Editing to say, I just ordered your book this morning!
