<<it felt wierd to actually have to whip out the credit card to pay
after a meal in a restaurant....>>

It's funny how fast you get used to things like that.  After my last trip to
Vegas, I kept feeling like I was supposed to be tipping the receptionist at
the office.

That sounds like it was a great trip, Roger.  Thanks for sharing the
details, and congratulations on the 25 years!

Rummy,

Going hungry on one of these cruises?  Boy, the problem is just the
opposite, effortless overeating!  All the meals are so exotic, with a
seemingly endless supply, incredible variety, beautiful presentations, & all
so delicious.  I have no idea what sort of credentials & experience it takes
to be a chef on one of these cruise ships, but we never had a meal or snack
that wasn't simply excellent.  After we got off the ship in San Juan, Puerto
Rico; it felt wierd to actually have to whip out the credit card to pay
after a meal in a restaurant.  We'd gotten used to simply getting up &
leaving when the meal was through!

Deb & I aren't used to living at that standard of pampering & we were a
little uncomfortable with it for the 1st couple of days of the cruise.  Then
,we both relaxed & got to enjoying it.

Now, we're both going thru culture shock getting back to reality back here
at home.
