May 2007

If you are lucky enough to be cruising during the month, please list your cruise and the date and we will do our best to stalk you along your journey to get a glimpse of your ship. Please list your dates and ports.

I will be on TAP beginning on April 30 and disembarkring May 14th in Barcelona. The bill is on my credit card now. It's really happening! :)

I have a cruise on my credit card too. Up to Vancouver from LA on HAL's Oesterdam. Funny thing is that I booked it because we are going to visit some very dear people up that way but I am going to a wedding for a life long friend I have known since I am 5. She is getting married for the 1st time at 52. May 12th and the cruise is May 14th. Without each of us knowing, She booked it for their honeymoon and we booked it as a way to go up north.

Just 3 days at sea but I love those sea days and the California Coast is so beautiful. We'll visit friends for 3 days and spend a few days wandering up in the Northwest. We were spending 10 days up that way until we won our June Cruise.

Not a cruise, but 10 days in Scotland. We leave here on May 16th and get back on 27th.

We'll spend five days in Edinburgh/Glasgow, then Gordon will pick us up for five days in the Highlands.

19 May Papeete to Lautoka on PG

We hope some of you will be joining us on our return trip to Alaska ! Departing May 12,2007 from San Francisco and to finish in Vancouver,BC on May 23rd.
We did Alaska several years ago on NCL but I think the cruise experience will be a little different this time !! <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />
We think it will also be a little colder this time. Last trip was in June and we had some 80 degree weather !!!

We won't be cruising. We're visiting Santa Fe, NM, May 4-7, spending great times with Priscilla/John, Leslie/Brad!

Denise,

Love Santa Fe. Going up in two weeks. I will be spending time with Leslie and Brad too. So much to see and do there. One of my very favorite places.

Denise: WOW you 6 will have a ball!!!

Fun times, for sure, Joanna! So looking forward to seeing Leslie and Brad again. We had the best time with them on our pre cruise in Stockholm, Baltics cruise, and post touring.

And, after years of planning, finally....I meet my sweet friend, Priscilla and wonderful husband, John!

Wish you and Tony could join us!

I can't wait to meet Brad and Leslie - have had the pleasure of cruising with P and J - I love to think about "possible" travel :hug: :hug:

Well, if you came to NM, you could meet Leslie and Brad in May and see Priscilla and John, once again. And, then there's getting together with Alan and me..Santa Fe would never be the same! ;)

Getting together with you and Alan would be wonderful - have wished for that for longgggggg time -

My wish, too, Joanna. We can make our wishes come true, May 4-7 in NM!

Like Pam, we are not doing a cruise but a driving trip in May & June: 2 weeks in Ireland, 9 days in Scotland, 10 days in Iceland & 4 days in Greenland. These are all nice sweater countries.

No May cruise for us; we will be spending a week in our favorite private villa on St. Croix! :)

Same here, Sue! We'll be at our little dwelling in the Bahamas for 3 weeks. Can't wait!

We'll be aboard the Mariner when she sails on May 12 from San Francisco. I see that John and Christina will join us. Anyone else?

We have an all girls trip planned on the May 19 Navigator sailing from Monte Carlo. This will be one of my friends first curise and first trip to France so I'm a little nervous with the responsibility. I have never been on the Navigator so would be a lot more assured with the Mariner or Voyager. Oh Well, if it's Regent it will be a good experience.

Monte Carlo
Rome
Sorrento
Taoromina
Ephesus
Santorini
Athens.

Hope to see some other LCYers aboard.

Happy Crusing--

Jan

Wow, Susan - your itinerary looks so wonderful! Egypt is quickly rising to the top of Greg's list, and I want to see Dubai someday. Too bad we will just miss you in Sorrento and Rome, we are one day behind you on each!

Have you sailed Crystal before? I will be very anxious to hear about this cruise!!!

Jan, we are on the sailing right after you, doing the exact itinerary in reverse. Our first time on Navigator too, so a little unsure, but just like you said, we're on Regent so we know it will be a great experience.

Susan,

Will this be your first time on Crystal? If it is and you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I'll also be anxious to hear about your cruise and the wonderful itinerary.

Nancy

Susan, as you know Jim & I just returned from a Crystal Serenity cruise from Dubai to Istanbul. It is a fabuous itinerary & a beautiful ship, but we have now decided to sail exclusively on Regent. The assigned seating & the loud dining room was the deal breaker. However, as this was our second Crystal cruise, I did get my 2 very nice canvas bags.

Enjoy your trip & give us your reviews of the ship & your wonderful port stops.

I think we're the only LCTers on this but OUR DOCS ARE IN
Greg

No cruise for us in May :( , but we're going to Nassau to visit Don and Michelle for a few days. Looking forward to some great days at the beach!

Visit Don and Chitlin???? Now I am depressed :(
I know you'll have a great time. Send me a "Wish you were here" card. Waa-a-a-a-a-a-a :mecry:

We will definitely wish you were there!! I'll drink an extra Pina Colada especially for you.

Jackie,
Jim had shared some of your thoughts on Crystal and while I know you didn't enjoy the overall dining experience I understand the food was quite good. We are looking forward to the cruise as this is our first time to Egypt and we always love seeing Italy.
Kristin,
I am sorry I am not going to have the opportunity to met up with you and Greg. Too bad we are passing ships in the two Italian ports.

Yes, indeed, Susan. I am confident we'll meet up someday, however! :)

Kristin,
I am counting on it. Hope we will be sailing together soon.

Susan, you can always celebrate the New Year with us on the PG! :D :app:
