Yesterday we (Fred and I) each received a package from Regent. In each was a nautical themed clock with a note from Mark Conroy wishing us a Bon Voyage on the Discovery Collection Trip! They are battery operated and look like they are mounted in a port hole. We will hang one next to the navigation map we have from Mariner Grand Pacific 2006. Not sure what we will do with the other one. Nice touch.

OOOO, that's cool!!!

Jan what a nice gift you were given.

It's thoughtful they sent it to your home. If you got it on Navigator it'd be more weight to perhaps put your luggage "over the limit."

We aren't in Naples right now so we haven't seen our gift. We got 2 of those nautical clocks for the 2007 Grand Circle South America, so we don't know what we'll do with 2 more.

Send it to me!!!

I just got home from a business trip to find two of these lovely clocks waiting--one for me and one for Beth. I'm not sure how to convince RSSC that Beth and I don't live together--and in fact live about 350 miles from each other. They're constantly sending things to my address for her, but this is the first thing that wasn't just paper.

I guess it's the same folks that have never sent me a brochure or catalog, even though I'm about to move into gold status with them. They, however, continue to send them to my mother, who had cruised a total of 11 nights with them and who has been dead for more than two years now (though I dare not tell them, for fear I'll never again hear about a cruise I might want to take).

Anyway, sorry to sound cranky. It really is a lovely clock. And will work well with my decor.

Crystal,

I know my clock will be fine in VA. until I get it.

Thanks for sharing the stories about the gifts. Now we know you are almost ready to go and are looking forward to sea mail.
