Yesterday we were in Busan, South Korea. Fantastic Mall and a big fish market were the highlights. Don and Carolyn took an eight hour tour, something I would not do but said it was great. They had a lunch in a fancy hotel that had all types of food, including lots of really good western dishes. The weather was good, in fact since leaving Tokyo the weather has been sunshine, temperatures in the 50's to 60's and nice. I have some pictures but we are having internet issues and I cannot get them to load but will try again later.

Food has been very good, last night in Compass Rose I had a lobster tail and prime rib. Lobster tail was quite large and yummy and the prime rib was tender and cooked perfectly.

Today we are in Juju South Korea and a group of us are taking the Women Divers tour. I have done this before and reallly like it. The women are "not young" and still diving, quite interesting. Afterwards you go to a small park that is really lovely with stunning trees and foilage. Also they serve the best cappuccino, which I intend to get again. Unforunately today there is a chance of rain, I hope it holds off because that would not be good.

Really been enjoying this trip, seas pretty good, one swelly night. Food excellent, staff outstanding.

Andrea DeMarco, the new Regent President was on this trip and it was so nice to get to meet her personally. She gave an excellent presentation, including plans for internet improvement. I was fortunate enough to have a dinner and lunch with her and she was very focused wanting to know from my point of view (which is also the guests point of view) the things that could be improved. She was very receptive and I think she will make some excellent changes. Always hard to change Presidents and we have had some super stars in the past. Jason Montague is going to be missed but I think over time Andrea DeMarco will do an excellent job.

Marc, it did not feel appropriate to ask your questions at my first meeting with Andrea.
