We leave this morning for our 3-night pre-NorFjor723 in Copenhagen. It has been fun stalking the Voyager this summer in anticipation of our sailing and we will work to post some onboard photos of our fellow Fjordites. Thanks to everyone from the recent Norway sailing; you have facilitated our planning and heightened our excitement. We will toast you and all of our LCT friends when we get together Friday night.
Until then ....
Luke

Have a wonderful time! We look forward to hearing all about your trip. Give Capt. Knut our best. He's quite fond of Formula 1 as well as seafaring things. Cheers, Anne

Luke, have a great time on your NorFjor cruise! Tell us all about it if you can. Karen, Margo, and the others will have to work extra hard with the stalks to make up for your absence!

We have arrived in CPH and the Marriott is definitely a first class hotel. The rest of the family is well into their jet lag nap as I savor a Carlsberg and watch the Tour de France.
Smooth travels ... Paula and Oz went DFW-ORD-LHR-CPH on AAdvantage tickets ... Meredith and I went DFW-FRA-CPH on purchase tix, AND we received a complimentary upgrade to business class; when we hooked up with Paula and Oz, we simply asked them "how was YOUR food?"
Interesting twist to the "lost luggage" dilemma that some LCTers have faced recently. ALL of our luggage arrived, BUT when we got to the hotel we realized that Meredith's suitcase was not with us! The taxi driver had not loaded it and we had not supervised to make sure that all pieces were with us ... lesson learned! We raced back to CPH airport and the bag was not in sight, BUT it WAS in the airport police office. Meredith handled the situation MUCH beyond her 19 years (her extensive travels have taught her patience). So, all's well that ends well ... AND my credit cards have a bit of a balance left, which they would NOT if we had to outfit Meredith for the cruise via CPH stores!
After the luggage experience ... "one more Carlsberg!"
More soon.

Luke,
Great to hear from you already! Whew, what an experience with Meredith's luggage. I'm so glad it all worked out well.
Here's a note to make you feel especially good about being in Copenhagen. Yesterday was a scorcher here in Dallas, and all the weather forecasters warned that today will be a red alert day for unhealthy air quality. So ... enjoy those 60 degree temps in Copenhagen. Can't wait to hear more from you.

Light rain and 55 degrees in Copenhagen today. I'm sure they wonder why we Texans are so happy while others are bemoaning conditions as less than ideal. I guess they don't know that we are savoring the 40+ degree drop from Dallas! However, we DO hope that it clears a bit for our cruise!

To all NorFjor723ers:
It's your turn to see the beauty of Norway and I wish you as pleasant a journey as we had on the Sinful cruise.
Cheers! Ray

Betty and Jim & Laura have arrived at the CPH Marriott ... our family was at Tivoli all night, but we will touch base with them tomorrow. There is a shuttle from the Marriott to the Voyager that leaves at Noon, and I imagine we will all be on that bus.
More later.
