Alan and Denise, have a wonderful cruise! Looking forward to your reports. Don't forget the sea-mail!

Denise and Alan, enjoy every minute of your cruise. Have fun and report back when you can.

Denise, I know how much you research each and every cruise you take, and you always have such great reports when you come home about your excursions and adventures. You are one of the BEST on this board who passes along information for future cruisers!

May this trip be all that you envision, may you have calm seas and sunny days, and wonderful company (oh, we know that is a given!) :bv:

Well, everyone has said it well already. Bon voyage, Denise and Alan, Leslie, Ginny, Ngaire of course, and any BRAVOers I might have missed! What fun you will have from the moment you meet at the obelisk (wherever that is) in Stockholm. This should be a truly wonderful trip, and I'll be waiting to hear all about it.

What a wonderful and heartwarming post! Nothing like dreaming of a wonderful cruise, planning and anticipating, working like a lunatic until vacation time rolls around, and reading such great wishes from a terrific group of friends who share in your excitement! Thanks so much, Leslie, for beginning this thread. It really put the icing on my cake for the day!

We now have three full days to pack and get ready to go. We're thrilled that the time has finally arrived.

It was a long, busy and anxious day at work. I was marking time until 3:55 rolled around and I grabbed my purse and raced out the door of my office and into may car. I got halfway home and realized I had forgotten to change my voicemail and email messages stating I would be gone for 3 weeks! Oh well! I DID have more IMPORTANT things on my mind!

Can't wait to see Ngaire and Ken again and meet our new friends, Leslie/Brad, Ginny/Jim!

Thanks so much! This trip is a real dream-come-true for us!

Denise, Give our best to Ngaire and Ken. Keep notes to pass along when you get home. This will be one of the best trips you have even taken. Russia is beautiful and so opulent. I could spend a week in each museum and palace. (that is how much there is to see). Be safe my good friends and ENJOY! Love, Judy

Wishing you happy and safe travels, Have lot's of fun Bring home a brain full of great memories.

Denise & Alan,

Hope you have the best time on your cruise. Enjoy the ship, the food (do be careful), the wonderfulness of the Baltics and especially your time in Russia. I do hope it is all you wish it to be.

Have fun and can't wait to hear all about it on your return.

Denise & Alan:

We have followed closely, and have saved, the information provided you on this trip as we look forward to doing a similar itinerary on June 19.

In the meantime,we wish you safe, uneventful flights and a most rewarding cruise.

Cheers! Ray & Penny

Denise, Alan and Ginny, Leslie and Ngaire - hope you all have perfect sailing, wonderful weather, fabulous ports and a perfect cruise!!

Its your turn Denise, make the most of it, as I'm sure you will.

Denise and Alan, I hope you have a wonderful time and with were you are going, that's a given!

I know how much planning went into this trip, I can't wait to hear about your experiences when you come home.

Thanks for your good wishes, suggestions and advice, Miriam. I appreciate all the help you provided.

And, thanks to you, Bonnie! It's mandatory that we all have a ball!

Have a truly wonderful time! Hope it is all you dreamed of!

Thanks so much, Ronnie! Alan and I so appreciate all the "goodies" you sent our way and the information you provided us.

Hope you're enjoying that lovely new houseboat! Take care and have a wonderful summer!

Denise & Alan,

Sorry I'm so late to wish you a wonderful cruise (out of town for the last 3 days). Can't believe your long awaited special trip is finally here!!!!

Have a FABULOUS time!!!! We'll miss you here back at our LCT home.

Denise, the houseboat is WONDERFUL! Chuck and I have spent the last 2 weekends there... can not wait until work slows down so that I can take a couple of days off so that we can spend more time there... I am going to have to work this weekend so he will have to go himself...

Can not wait to hear your review when you return... it will be a GREAT trip!!

Thanks, Cyndi and Ronnie!

Our packing is going well. That surely must mean we've forgotten things! I'm taking an LCT break.

Cyndi, I hope you had a nice time away and managed to relax.

Ronnie, what can I say? Your magnificent houseboat is such a fabulous retreat! You are, indeed, so fortunate to have such a wonderful home away from home!

And, the packing continues...

See you on Thursday - the weather is looking a bit better than when I checked yesterday.

Everybody, please do a sun dance for our Saturday sailaway through the archipelago. It can rain during the day, but at 6 PM we want a rainbow and clearing skies!!

Leslie

How great to finally be leaving tomorrow! It'll be terrific to meet after all our emails back and forth, Leslie.

Our LCT group has always demonstrated strong powers to do so much. Surely the group can muster up (after muster) a rainbow and clearing skies!

See you and Brad Thursday! Have a good flight to Stockholm!

Ahoy mates! Have a GREAT time!

Wish you were joining us, Olivia! Thanks for the good wishes!

Have a wonderful cruise Denise!
