Just found out that we will be on the Ring of Fire for segment 2. Ardis and Stan save a spot for us at Trivia. Can't wait to get on board sounds like a great cruise with all the terrific Mariner staff including Terry Breen(loved her comentary last year on in S. America) and John Barron. Barbara and Don (seggys until we retire).

We're on ROF segments 2 thru 4. Any others on before or after Koala?

Wow, consider seats SAVED. I agree with you about TERRY. She is tops.

Hey, Barbara and Don! We are eagerly waiting for you. When you arrive we will have one other couple since our guy from Stern will be leaving in Rio. Since they got their Trivia straightened out, our team has tied for first place the last two times so we are feeling great. It is not that it is so important to win, but we at least want to feel that the questions are geared to all or most of the guests. Be sure to make reservations for Prime 7 as soon as you can. It is great.

Ardis

Great to hear from you. Your trip so far sounds wonderful. Yes I did make reservations at Prime and Signatures via the phone since the web site is still not functioning. Is it true that for segment two there is only one formal night? It's going to be hard for Donald to drag the tux and shoes for just one night, however he will bring a jacket and we don't want to miss Prime. I've also been trying to pay attention to trivia as I drive to work. I actually did know about the Liffey River. Why do I remember stuff like that but still have problems with my computer applications that I use on a daily basis? Is Dominick in the salon. If he is maybe I'll splurge for another haircut. Last year's was the best. Right now Donald is working on his laptop to make sure he has the correct applications for office work while on the ship. We are really fortunate that we can get away as much as we do considering we still have an office and employees in Scottsdale. Went to the Phoenix Open(FBR) yesterday and the weather was great. Today we will watch the Superbowl, GO Cardinals! We arrive in BA on the 12th and can't wait to get on the Mariner. I've also been enjoying reading the Weldon's blog. Boy it really gets me in the mood for cruising. Take care and remember to keep your mind open(for trivia).

Yes,Dominick is in the salon.There are three formal nights and two informal ones. Any other into I can get?

Ardis

Thanks for the info. Since there are 3 formal nights Donald will bring the tux. I really miss the old web site. I hope passengers know to get visas for some of the segments. See you in 11 days!

Ardis, is there anything that you and Stan forgot to pack? Do you need more Mucinex? Colds have been going around here and things are blooming in February that usually don't bloom until late March. Let me know. Can't wait to join the Mariner on the 13th. I've been enjoying the Weldons blog. Donald and I really enjoyed Salvador last year. Too bad you won't be in Rio for the final Samba parade. We have great pictures that we took at last year's parade. We only stayed until 1:30A and next time we will stay until morning to see the best.

No, we don't need anything except new younger bodies but thank you for asking. There has been the ship's cough going around but we have escaped it. On segment 2 we will have Dinner and a Show and the show will be a Tango Show and that will be exciting.

Only a few more days!

Ardis
