Kevin - up to your old tricks again I see.  Love your avatar by the way.  Wow - what a great experience for Austin.  I loved Girl Guides.... I guess that&#39;s what instilled the love of camping in me.<br /><br />Cheryl - that&#39;s a gorgeous hat... are they available on line?<br /><br />Ed - wonderful to have you back on the Dock and great to hear that you had a super cruise.  Are you going to be in a Promenade room on the Mariner?  Our daughter had one of those rooms and said that they heard nothing except the one night&#39;s Mardi Gras celebration.  One thing that is hugely evident about the Promenade.... if you are on a cruise in cold weather ie Pacific Northwest/ALaska there are tons of people in the Promenade at all times.  Our first cruise was to the E Caribbean, hot weather and the Promenade was always pretty empty other than when there was a celebration evening and the Captain spoke from the &quot;bridge&quot;.
