Reminds me of when I went to Mexico once and was asking about the price of an item. They wanted something like $15 for it. I said no way and they guy said.... lemme ask my boss.... they started speaking in spanish and the boss said.... hhhmmmm.... ocho.... and the salesman came back to me and said.... boss says no less than $10. I looked at him and said... I do know enough spanish to know that ocho is 8..... and we left. Maybe sometimes it pays to know, but not speak!

Past Cruises On the water everything is clear. It is a gift for the soul; a clarity born of sea and salt air that touches the small inner voice within us that has been too long silenced by the chaos of life. It is a gift that heals; that gives us power to rid ourselves of confusion, worry, guilt, and regret; that gives us faith in ourselves and our dreams. ~ Valerie Wilcox
