Greetings from Florida

We arrived at our hotel in Dania Beach FL at about midnight and now after a good night's sleep, we are ready to start our first cruise. Here is a picture of our ship, The Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. We have never been on this ship in the RCI fleet so it will be a day of exploring the ship to try and orient ourselves to this large vessel. It carries about 3000 passengers so we hope that we have large turnouts for all of 15 presentations. We will meet with the cruise director today and find out our schedule and expect to be off and running tomorrow with our first show on Pirates. The whole series that we have developed is nautical so it will be different for us as we usually do the destinations. There are only three ports with the first stop in the port of Canary Islands on May 10th. Then we will be in Mallorca on May 13th, Corsica on the 14th and Rome on the 15th. We will try to get an internet connection on one of more of those ports to update our blog.
When we got into the airport last night at 11:00 we heard about the long-overdue demise of Osama.  Everyone was really up about this.

Our trip across the Atlantic will reverse Columbus' first voyage.  Maybe we will discover Europe!
