I know Jeff, still trying
to get over the MONARCH
of the SEAS blues. Just thinking of what I was doing this time last week
in Cozumel, MX. Oh yes, watching a deluge of rain
from the Windjammer Cafe.
Aaaaahhhh, so relaxing.

Jeff, I am Summit bound in early Feb and awaiting your review. Special interest in the internet hookups. Should I lug a laptop on board? What is the charge for that service? Any idea? Looks like a great ship. Looking forward to hearing from you. Ed

Ed - We were on the same cruise with Jeff. Had a GREAT time! The ship, service and food (not in any particular order) were terrific!

Personally, I would not lug a laptop with me. We used the "On-Line" room at least daily to check e-mail. Pretty fast connections, free printing, but still 95 cents per minute. I would check e-mails, print them, sign off, take a few minutes to compose replies. There are also internet cafes in most ports. In fact we found one right off the ship in the mall in St. Thomas. $2 for 15 minutes.

I'm sorting through my memories for a review also. I've written a few in my head, just need to put something down on paper. If you have any specific questions, feel free to e-mail me at FrankB32073@yahoo.com.

I'm still going through withdrawals too... I had lunch in the cafeteria here at the office my first day back. I was waiting for a guy in white gloves to get my drink and carry my tray to the table. Oh well...

Jeff - HI! Miss you guys! Sunny and 70's here! Sorry, couldn't resist!
