Hi Folks,<br /><br />Just a quick note...late start this morning.....and I am off to work.<br /><br />Mary Lou, I take all sorts of gifts.  I&#39;ve always given out phone cards but I take different things to different people.  This cruise, I have something for every day, for guest services - pistachios, almond rocha, mango gummies, and chocolate covered fruits.  I take mango gummies for the crew as well - they love them and always know I&#39;m on board when they see them.  I take dried mangoes from the Phillipines for the Filipino crew, hand creams from Bath and Body works, chai tea for the Indians.  This time I also have jazz CDs for some of the officers - my good friend in San Francisco is so great and her latest, &quot;Out of This World&quot; is just that.<br /><br />Will check back later though we have a busy day....two children to interview and I&#39;m on call the entire weekend till 5P Sunday.
