Hi all, sitting in the observation again, this time with Carla and Franks glass of wine, keep those requests coming folks, we shall do our best. We are thinking out next cruise will be Miami to Lima January of 2014. Several here are going as well and we would like to maybe see about Macchu Pichu on the end. I normally don't enjoy post cruise things but this trip will do the canal and if we did Macchu it would be two off the bucket list! Would I love to do the Mariner in October? Oh yes, but these month long vacations really kill us with trying to work. We are hoping to get to Napa at least once and would love to come in to LA. For a Marcie and Tom fix :).

3rd sea day and this baby is a rockin. We upgraded to one of the suites on the back with the larger deck, we love the feel of looking straight out on a sail away, but boy did that room jump last night. We really don't mind the motion , some are fine, but our next door neighbor had a bad night. Sure are bigger problems in the world right?

tomarrow Hobart, and we are going an oysters and wine tour (huh?). Love these sea days but it will be nice to be on land. We just live our group, there are not enough nights for all the dinners so we have booked a nice lunch in Compass Rose with Mary Elaine and David. So fun. I'll keep you posted as I can , Internet is smoking fast right now, I'm guessing there are many napping?

Off to do a little walk!
