What a relief for Arlene! As usual, Anne has done a stellar job distilling the Ho Down experience (I thought that was an apt choice of verbiage)into a succinct nugget. Everyone had a wonderful time and had a chance to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones we are anxious to travel with in the future. The only problem was that the cruise was too short! Thanks above all to Ngaire, Ken and the entire B & K staff for making us all feel so welcome and taking care of every last detail (was there any doubt?).
