It's taken me 2 days to get back on solid ground after 3 weeks of amazing sights and non-stop excitement. Our pre & post accomodations were over the top. The ship cabin I booked was hard to leave but most of all, cheers to our old and new friends who made this cruise unforgettable.

A few photo's out of 200. Wish I had taken more in Athens. love that city and our hotel, The Grand Bretagne was icing on the cake.

Suzie - I love them all. What a time you all had! Thanks for posting.

Suzie,
I LOVE your pictures so much!! Wasn't it absolutely amazing!! What hotel did you stay at in Luxor? I know it wasn't Le Meridian where Regent put us up. I would love to have been on CAMEL with you all but will have to be content looking at your wonderful pictures! Welcome Home!

Marcie, we stayed at the Sonesta for Luxor

Suzie, thanks for the incredible pictures.

Nancy

GREAT shots Suzie. I know it is a lot of work to post them but it is SO MUCH FUN to see them all. Relive the experience!!!

I have never seen the picture that you all talked about where I looked like a NUN. Ken did not get it any of you have it??

It's on LCT. I'll put it here right now.

I didn't know what anyone was talking about that day when they said she looked like a NUN! I thought she was trying to make sure her blond hair didn't show and was wearing a headband! I am all the way back (center) with the frownie face at having to wear this garb. I was so glad when Ngaire "liberated" us smack in the middle of the market in Jeddah and we took off the darned things after going through the Library!

See how easy it was for the guys?

Suzie, those pix must have taken hours to get here! You definitely captured the fun parts of the cruise!

Thanks for posting these. Geez..am I sorry we didn't think ahead and book this cruise. Hope Black Sea makes up at least a bit for missing this.

Suzie - great photos! They do a wonderful job of capturing the variety of places, all the stuff we enjoyed and the vivid memories we all brought home.

Glad you are surfacing. I'm just about over the jet lag. Happy Mother's Day to all.

I agree .. let's drink to trouble! :pass: B2Bers, take note.

Cheers, Anne

WOW - wonderful photos. Yes, lots of work getting them here....very much appreciated.

Great pictures Suzie - just an amazing trip with wonderful people - thanks for posting them - Joanna

Fabulous shots, Suzie. You managed to package the whole experience beautifully. It was a truly wonderful trip. Your immense zest for life made it all the much more fun. Thanks so much. Pat

Suzie those pics are WONDERFUL!!! It looks like everyone had a fun time! :)

Suzie--great pictures. We're back from trekking all over Greece. We had a great trip to Meteora, Delphi, Olypia and last, but not least, Athens. After horrendous delays in immigration at JFK and then a flight delay, we finally got home at around 1:30 pm. What a great trip--but it's sooo good to be home.

Really great picture Suzie - thanks so much for posting those. What a great time you'all had.

LOVED your pics, Suzie, what a treat it is to get a glimpse of your trip. Thank you so much!

Suzie: Just love your photos! I'm still trying to figure out how I could have missed this trip! Lee

Thanks SO much for the wonderful pix! Feel like I've travelled with you; a wonderful time! Did Marilyn play golf in Dubai as planned?

Thanks for sharing, Suzie! Looks like a good time was had by all (not that that's too hard!)

Suzie - all those shots are terrific! Thanks for posting so many!
