No problem in handling it, then. Zip it up and send it to me (I don't think our server takes the xls format)

BBC Look East , my local news channel. I am trying my best to get on the show. I informed him all about my interest in cruise ships ect ect ect...


Steve, the Assistant Editor said “ Hi Harry,


Many thanks for your email and pictures.
The way we work is that I juggle lots of different stories and then offer the best ones to the Look East producers.
I do think you have a lovely story to tell but I can't promise to tell it at the moment!
Can you leave it with me for a few days and I will get back to you either way.


Many thanks


Steve”


So finger crossed now !

Got our fingers crossed for you too.

Thank you Debbie. We had such a good time on the Mariner, but talked often about Harry and his wonderful accomplishments. Came back with a sinus/throat infection so not spending a lot of time on the boards right now. Many were ill in our group. No swine flu, thank goodness.

It's not the same around here with Mary, Reggie and Char away, it's very quiet. I cannot wait until they are back and look forward to hearing about the trips. Mary has promised me lots of photos.

Hal and I kept our promise. We've got LOTS of photos for you. Hal always goes thru and adjusts etc before sending to anyone. You will get 100s of photos of the ship, the scenary, people. (most are of the ship).

Royal Caribbean themself weren't much help at all.

So I called a local travel agent in my home town, Colchester. The lady I spoke to was very helpful. We had a few problems finding all the prices but the ones we didn't get we just took a rough guess.

Then I asked her if she had a few brochures I needed. She said she will put some aside for me. So when my mum and dad got home I told them I had finally got the prices. My dad then droped me and my mum off in town to go and pick the brochures up. I also show her some of my work and the tasks Stephen has set. She was very impressed.

We have just had a bit of lunch now and are getting ready to leave for Stephen's talk this evening. I'm very excited.

Glad you were able to get help with this. It is unfortunate that RCCL wasn't more helpful. Off to read more about the meeting you had with Mr. Payne.

Great news about the meeting, Harry. You are right on track.

Please don't feel that you need to share everything with us regarding your talks/correspondence with Mr. Payne. We understand the need to keep much of it between the two of you. It is fun that we can share parts of these adventures with you.
