Susie,
I think we are all very glad you and Larry will be aboard -- those who have already had the pleasure of cruising with you, and those of us who are looking forward to enjoying your company. See you on Thursday!

We arrived in Rome this evening -- weather was a very comfortable 59° (15°) -- and are checked into a very nice room at the Mecenate Palace. Our third passenger, ExtraSeat, enjoyed his 20 kg. luggage allowance! Wasn't 100% sure my idea would work, but after the AirBerlin check-in desk person reconfirmed it with her supervisor, we were given the 20 kg. that went with ExtraSeat's ticket! Saved us a lot of $$$$. (Ticket and 20 kgs.= €29, 20 kgs. at € 8 per kilo = € 160 (almost $240) Almost as good of a savings as switching to a guaranty cabin!

Hope the weather holds for tomorrow and Tuesday, as we are planning to walk our feet off.

Wishing everyone a safe trip over the big pond!

My Signature Sharon
