More great recollections!
thanks for another jealousy-producing chapter! We loved Bangkok and we got our tropical downpour when we were in an open rooster boat cruising the Kwai River on our day trip to the Bridge at the river Kwai. Nowhere to go, no way to hide. But then the sun came out and after an hour or so you had steamed Goldsmiths ready for more!

Sioux Falls
We just left Sioux Falls today after the SD Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction yesterday. The guys in the band gathered on Wed. and practiced Thurs. and Fri. We had such fun reconnecting with the band, friends and family. We had our fill of rock and roll music last night. The in-house bands started about 5:00 and the inductee groups started at 6:30. Mike's band played from 6:30-7:00. Groups played in 1/2 hour segments until almost midnight. The last group was The Mob out of Chicago. They had 14 members with 7 horn players. The group played at the Mocamba Club downtown in the late 60's to the early 80's. It was a fabulous show band. The only negative about the last several days was the weather: 30's and rain to sleet to snow showers. We are happy to head back south. I had unch with Peeker, Nancy Doorn, Anne Frankman, and Gayle Angle. Gayle's husband, Chet, is terminally ill with lung cancer--not a good deal. She is quite resigned. Other than that sad news, the gals and their families are doing great. I was at Waterford a few times but never encountered your dad. How is he? I always enjoy reading your blogs. Sandy

Cambodia and see you "soon".
Hey, I really liked what I saw in Cambodia. It looks like a great friendly place to visit. Well we finally made a decision on our scheduled cruise to Israel, etc. We can hardly recognize the reservation we made while we were on the 2010 cruise they have changed it so much. So we cancelled it and changed the reservation with Michelle to do the Round South America 2012 cruise. The "plus" for us is that we will be back with you. That really put the frosting on the cake. We are on the wait list to get back on the 7th deck where we would rather be plus saving us about 5,000. We will be there one way or another. If Morton Dean & Mary are still on the ship, tell them "Hi". Morty, me, Emerald Lagasee and Lizzy Borden are all from the same town. Needless to say, I am the least important person on this prestegious list. Keep having fun and love your blog. Hugs, Norm inda

It looks like you're having a terrific cruise. We can't wait to get back on the Regent! It was great seeing the photos of Dieter and Ilsa (our favorite instructors) and Aurelia (our "paparazzi" from the Mariner). Please say "HI" to all.

Sounds as though you two are having a wonderful cruise, with the exception of that nasty scrape with the coral! Wishing you a happy voyage and good health! Hugs, mary ann

Pan Am Stratuscruisers
Hi You Two, Sounds like the cruise is going very well. Tahiti, ah yes!! Loved the bit about the Pan Am Clippers. My first trip to Australia, 1957, We were aboard a Pan Am Stratuscruiser. 250 miles per hour. We stopped after Hawaii, at both Wake and Midway to refuel. Brought back a few memories of that trip. Time flies!! Glad all's well. Finished my Aussie Open telecasts from LA and taking a deep breath. Keep the Blogs coming!! and happy cruising!! Bear and Michele

Thanks again for letting us travel with you. We decided we had enough of the winter in NC so we left for Tucson. We arrived yesterday and damn it, the cold followed us on I-20 and I-10. It's cold enough here to break records. 21 tonight and 41 for a high today. The warm weather you are experiencing sounds a lot better. We will be here for a month and it WILL get better. Say "hi" to our friends that are saily with you. We miss you all and continue to have a great cruise. Hugs, Norm & Linda

I am drooling
Well, we will be following along on your marvelous trip. Please tell Suzanne hello for us. I told Norm that if he really, really loved me, we would be on the trip with you. This was after being snowed in for 7 days and risking life & limb on our icy driveway & private road when we could finally get out. Love you both, Linda

Great to hear that you are off and sailing again. Wish we were with you. We almost took the first segment of your World Cruise since it included our 60th wedding anniversary on the 3rd of Feb. However, we 'downsized' to a 14 day Cunard cruise on the Queen Victoria out of LA also going to Hawaii and around the islands and back to LA. Have not sailed with Cunard before. We fly to LAX Friday, the 28th provided it doesn't snow too much in Chicago. The ship sails on the 30th. When we return to LA on the 13th, we will drive to San Diego to see our granddaughter who lives there since her marriage to a sailor who is now at sea until June! We have several other friends either from cruises, high school or the education field in the area that we hope to see. Love hearing from you and hope to travel with you again soon. Gladys and Nelson Durand

Hawaii 5-0
Surfing! I am truly impressed. Congratulations for catching a wave. But ouch, Kevin. Your brush with a coral doesn't look to great. Heal well. Surreal to think of you passing underneath our beloved Golden Gate Bridge, your home. Can only imagine the feeling.

Great blog and pictures.
I very much enjoyed your acount of San Francisco and Hawaii, but especially liked the pictures. I spotted old acquaintances Larry and Karen who were visiting in San Diego. It must have been a wrench for them not to be proceedind on the WC as they have done many times previously.

Bon Voyage
I do hope I can get away with "better late than never" ... but I do wish you both a wonderful journey. We were out skiing when you passed through the Panama Canal, but we did read through the emails and view the pics when back in by the fire. It's impressive to think about Mark, Barbara, Andrew and Jack passing through the Canal just weeks before you, and how vastly different the scale of events were. But one thing is constant, those on board both boats have an adventurous spirit. May this adventure be magical. All the Best, Steph

Joining you in Bangkok!
Hi Kevin and Susan, I'll be joining the cruise at Bangkok and traveling thru to Rome. Ten countries, 6 time zones, 5 major religions, 3 continents and unlimited champagne. Oh, I am ready! Chuck and Terri (my sister, above) say "Hello". I am very much looking forward to the world cultures, gorgeous scenery, World Heritage sites, and all the wonderful service & support that Regent offers. I'm so excited! Please add me to your guest list to share a juicy steak dinner. I look forward to meeting you and all the other passengers. Whoo hoo.
