I am back too. Answered email and did a quick scan of the posts. It was wonderful to see everyone, what a group of really special friends we have become.

What is so nice is with each cruise or get together more people come along to join in. Finally meeting Dougburns who I have wanted to meet for so long and his lovely (and she is lovely) wife Lyn. Now I know why everyone likes them so much. Their friends, Karen and Joseph who are truly delightful just like the Dougburns.(Joseph is such a gentleman, escorted me to the ladies room and then waited to escort me back. Betty (who is a hoot and a lot of fun -check out Todds picture of her drinking her wine with no hands - now this is a fun lady). Chip was only there for the one night so our meeting was short but we got to visit a little. Looking forward to spending more one on one time with him in September.

John bought his cousin VINNY and yes he does suit that name "cousin Vinny" and another high school friend and Todd has his friend John along too. They were all great and we enjoyed meeting them. Todd is working on John to join us on MINT, he has never cruised.

What a great group of people!!!! Looking forward to MINT now to see everyone again and meeting some new people.

I agree with Denise. Las Vegas is too big a place. Like being on a massive cruise ship you cant find each other. However, not having been there for 10 years I enjoyed seeing it again and all the new hotels.
