Thank you, Ted. haha, I have never been the subject of a topic before, and no need to continue this one! Olivia is safe at home after arriving at IAD tonight, and driving 5 hours on a circuitous (is that a word?) route home, since I carelessly lost my iPhone on the ship and had no navigation abilities once I got to Dulles! As many times as I've been there, it's never from the same hotel where I park. Thank god for a nice doorman to guide me to Route 50 East.

What a wonderful cruise! Have always wanted to come back to French Polynesia, but I knew this was the rainy season, and we had some storms now and then that necessitated port changes once in a while, but I'm always ready for another sea day.

Most of all, I wish the MAOI's a wonderful journey!
