We're checked into the Marriott - with all our luggage and the room is ready!!

Suzie & Marilyn are the official greeters in the lobby, both looking good in their Regent logo apparel.

Time for our naps and showers. zzzzz.

We are in Zurich waiting for our flight to CPH. Glad everyone is arriving safe &, hopefully, with all bags. Should be in our hotel in CPH by mid evening. The good news is we were not charged for the excess weight of our luggage for this intra European flight:) Very happy since this means I am not in the doghouse anymore :)

We got here about 6 pm yesterday. The Marriott is a lovely hotel.

Leslie and Brad, Andrea, Suzie, Marilyn, Suzanne met up with us in the hotel bar around 6:30 (duh) and headed out to dinner. The restaurant was situated an old cloister near the Royal Palace gardens. Atmosphere was amazing .. food ok to very good. I can now check the box that says "try carrot ice cream .. once". Fairly tasty; will never give chocolate a run for its money on the popularity charts. That leaves 999 other things to do before I die.

We got right back in our best sailing form and closed the restaurant last night near midnight. The route to the bathrooms involved walking up a steep corkscrew staircase. As Suzanne aptly noted, we needed to be kirful! The waiter was explaining the wine pairings to us, waxing eloquently about the special location of the California chardonnay. As they say in one of the car rental adds, "not exactly". There was one other group down at the other end of the room. We got into a karaoke contest with one another. It was, we're fairly sure, a first in that particular venue. They smiled broadly when we asked for cabs back to the hotel.

It was dark out by the time we left the restaurant. I woke up and saw light creeping around the window's edge. Ack! It was 4 am. Fortunately I got back to sleep until about 8. We opted for the executive floor at an extra cost of around $50. Free breakfast (about $25 downstairs) and free internet ($15 for one hour, about $30 for 24 hours) in the lounge. Wireless is also available. I'm not sure if it's free in the public areas downstairs. I'm also unlikely to find out! They offer hors d'oeurves from 5:30 to 7:30 in the lounge. That could easily substitute for dinner. Drinks are NOT free outside of coffee, tea and the like. It is a madhouse up here this morning for breakfast.

We arrived at the Scandic Webers yesterday and immediately I met Mr. Marcie and Olivia! We had a nice dinner with Scott and Judy (portolan) and walked Tivoli Gardens afterward. This morning breakfast was such fun as I finally got to met Marcie, Joanna, Marc, Arlene, Tony and David. Also ran into Lee and Michael. This will be a wonderful cruise with so many new people to get to know.
We are relaxing this morning in anticipation of baording the Voyager at noontime. The weather is not cooperating....it is raining right now.
Howeever, it is NOT going to stop the fun.
Cheers, Pam

Checking in from the Hilton here! All is going great so far. Yesterday we (Joanna, Tony, Marc & Arlene= had a fantastic day....lots of walking and took the canal boat trip all through the canals etc. and saw the little mermaid on the rock that Copenhagen is famous for in the Hans Christian Anderson stories. We stopped for pizza, then walking back we ran into Cindy and David.

Had a great dinner last night at an Italian restaurant that's only about 100 yards from the hotel. We kind of took over the restaurant....let's see there was Matassa's, Mondaeøs, Levins, Olivia, Marsha & George, Cindy & David, Marc's Mom and step Dad (I'm probably forgetting someone). After dinner everyone but Marsha and George came back to our hotel for lots of drinking and laughing in the outdoor bar area. (Marsha and George needed to go check on their still missing 2 bags). Olivia's Joanna arrived around 11:00pm and joined us. We really had a lot of fun!! The night before the bar had run out of Sambuca :eek: but they stocked up again for last night :banana: We called it a night around 1;45....we had laughed so hard our sides hurt!

Our hotel is in the BEST location! It's so close to everything and it includes free breakfast and free internet. This morning we met more LCTers at breakfast....Pam & Tom and Scott & Judy. I feel like we've taken over this hotel and they'll probably be happy to see us checking out in a couple of hours. We're all meeting in the lobby at noon to head to the Voyager. So anyway, this is the latest! We're so excited to be back on the Voyager again!

P.S. Our hotel is very close to the Red Light District and all I can say is WOW....from our window we could look out and see lots of working girls. They're even out when it's raining with their umbrellas. The first night I woke up at 3am and looked outside....lots of action out there for sure! :D

MARCIE and I are posting but she has covered it all. Had fun two days in CPH but all anxious to get on the ship - we had a late night last night with great company. More from the ship - it is pouring right now Joanna
