WE ARE HOME!!
After doing our road trip of Western and Central Florida we are finally home.
Quick story: 6 couples were signed up for 2002 Renaissance cruise to Tahiti, until 911 happened and they went out of business.
Everyone still wanted to go so I started looking for replacement. That is when I talked to Ngaire. and 5 couples signed up for the Paul Gaugin 02/15/2003 cruise.
In the mean time I was on a Tahiti chat line and met Pat Depre, ( shoppingpat.com) around October 2002. Started to emails and have stayed in contact since.
Pat & Tony moved to The Villages from Chicago, and we made arrangement to finally meet. What a wonderful time we had for 1 1/2 days. Plus cruising friends Sherry & Bud Jones
joined us for a BBQ at Depre's home, and dinner at Nancy Lopez restaurant.

Oh. And our back to back 20 day cruise on the Splendor was great with Pat & Jim Bittle, Arlene & Marc Levin, Tammy Bennett, and Sherie Kale, Carol & Bing Cherry.
