WC will be a better and more fun cruise for all those lucky people because you two are on it. Have a wonderful trip and look forward to you sea mail.

Hey, Pat, thanks!

Pat, we're so excited, we need to start breathing into a brown paper bag as we're beginning to hyper-ventilate daily until we get underway.

On Jan. 5, Regent is having its annual kick-off party, this time at Fairmont's San Francisco Hotel for full world cruisers and we're going in a day early to enjoy the city. On the 6th we cruise off to Hawaii. The special event you mentioned is really something to look forward to.

And on top of that, the Hawaiian Ambassadors of Goodwill, health and happiness (Masaki, Amanda and Marika) will be joining us for lunch that same day. It was just last Jan. that we spent a wonderful day with them swimming at the Embassy's pool, lunch outdoors at the beautiful Halekulani Hotel and then a topping off dinner at Alan Wong's. Memories are made of this!

Aloha to Al.

Pammy: How nice of you!

Cheers! Ray & Penny

Ray...we've had the joy of lunch with Masaki, Amanda and Marika in Honolulu - they visited us on the Navigator when we were there - it was the highlight of our day - but the Governor should be the icing on the cake for you and Penny - how exciting.

A very belated congratulations on your docs! How exciting! We can't wait to see you and Penny again soon. We echo your sentiments, Margo, because it was great having lunch with you and Tom!
