Wes, I am glad you could still tell we enjoyed the ambiance. I was afraid I went on so long that I lost that in the report. Kristin, it was so special that I captured all that detail so I could read over the years without missing a thing.

I'm wondering how the new ship will be with over 500 people. Both the bigger and smaller ships now are special, but clearly the smaller is even more intimate. I wonder if we will get more entertainment and amenities to supplement for this loss. Time will tell.

I'm looking forward to our middle east trip and trying to find a 2008 trip I think we could do that meets our schedule, but so far I am not finding luck. I'd love to go to Guam since I lived there in high school, but I don't think we could do 21 days, and if I am dragging 26 hours to Guam, I think I might want to spend more than one or two days in the Northern Marianas. If anyone has a chance to go, it is so worth it. Having lived on islands four years of my life, I never get over islands. Once an islander, always an islander
