Well I have had a very emotional day today.  I received a call from our youngest (pregnant) daughter who is currently in South Africa - they have had so many problems with their contracts and red tape and it&#39;s just not working for them, so they are coming back to the States&#33;  We are both so excited, we will actually have our grand baby close by, when he is born - his due date is 1st January.  Well nothing ventured, nothing gained.... we sorry that it didn&#39;t turn out the way they would have liked it to, but selfishly we are thrilled that they are coming back home.  So she and I spent an hour crying on the phone.  Now she has to jump through all the hoops to import her dogs back into the States.<br /><br />Cheryl - what awesome news - 20/20&#33;&#33;&#33;  I wish I could say the same, I still have to carry my reading glasses everywhere with me.. it&#39;s a real pain.<br /><br />Debbie - thanks for posting that photo of the Adventure.... they are such beautiful ships, aren&#39;t they?<br /><br />Ed - when are you sailing on the Mariner?  You are going to have a ball... I bet you have never had a Captain like Captain Johnny before  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
