Suzie and Lee, your seamail is, indeed great. What Joan wanted to know was where you got the brooch and headgear.

As for Louisbourg, did the ship offer alternative excursions when it became clear that you couldn't tender to Louisbourg? On our last (Wind Surf) cruise, an excursion in an alternative port turned out to be the highlight of our trip: we missed Corsica, but took an excursion from Villefranche to St. Paul de Vence. We, too, plan on doing Louisbourg on our own; but we'd certainly rather have a ship's excursion than miss it.

Have fun for the remainder of your trip, and a safe trip home!
