gokenin ... He he don't worry, I always have gelled alcohol on me... remember I work in Fire/EMS so I am constantly disinfecting my hands (often all the way up to my elbows!) It's become such a habit I do it all the time... entering my car, entering my home...
Little Laker ... Hee hee no it's not the biggest ship, though it will be in port as we sail out so we'll see it! I'm on the Costa Fortuna, an Italian cruise line which I like for their multinational passenger list (ie: lots of europeans on board).
Sailor ... Thanks! It will be an amazing trip, and I've scheduled a real sailing trip on a catamaran while in Grand Turk... I really look forward to that!
Flyer ... Merci! It's going to be rough, but you know how it is... someone has to do it!
La grosse vie!
