Priscilla - of course we can stay loose, thought that was the plan in the first place. I too am strictly a "social" player, no pressure from me here. Frank wants me to take some lessons, so I will be more confident when we play with our friends, who, as is he, are very good, and they are all very tolerant of me and my low level of playing. So anyway, I do want to take some lessons, without Frank around, so that I can learn on my own and learn to bid on my own without his help. I just thought if Kathy, and her Frank wanted to take some lessons, and you and I both did, we could be a foursome, thus our level of play could be very relaxed and loose.

Lets just play it by ear when we get onboard, there will be so much to do, and I would think most of this stuff will happen on the TA portion in any case.

Right now I just want to get on the ship!!!
