Hi gang&#33;  Just sitting by the computer checking my emails onboard the Celebrity Mercury.  I&#39;m cruising solo on this 8 night cruise to the Pacific NW (SF, Monterey, Astoria, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle and SF).  It was very windy sailing out of SF this past Sat.  Yesterday we were in Monterey.  The weather was sunny but cold.  Took the ships tour to Cannery Row, Pacific Grove and Carmel and the famous 17 mile drive.  Also stopped at the Pebble Beach Golf Course.........I think the cost per round now is &#036;575.  Ouch&#33;  Tomorrow were docking in Astoria (on the Columbia River) and I&#39;m booked on a ship&#39;s tour.  Any question on the ship or ports, please asked&#33;  <br /><br />Ray<br /><br /><br /><br />
