Wow, I had no idea the fee was based on weight but it makes sense since even long haul trucking companies by land charge by weight, and Effie I seem to recall short lines also charge by weight? It's been sooooo long since I've thought about your job as a brakeperson. :D

FYI, it took me a bit to figure out how best to view it in Gmail. Gmail doesn't like real Word docs as well as I thought. It opened for me as 67 pages, mostly blank, and about half of the photos were rotated. But... I did get to enjoy reading the text and seeing the photos. If you have a way to send it as a PDF it might be treated in a kinder, gentler way lol. :D

Remember only the good stuff, like the excitement of going through the Panama Canal.

The thing I remember most is that it was hot & sticky - the hottest Thanksgiving Day I'll ever experience! Also, the excursion was late returning to the ship and they weren't going to give us our dinner. Someone made a fuss and we got our meal.  The Italian cruise line had no idea what to do with bread stuffing - they treated it like a garnish on the plate with a mere tablespoon served. Or maybe, we got so little because they didn't have a lot left.

Very nice, especially the opening analogy and the pictures.

Thought you’d like to read this short blog I did for my corporate travel agency. Effie and I did this cruise way back in 2009.
