Hi Larry,
Thanks for your kind words!
I have to admit, it hasnıt been easy. Rick is big on preparing ahead of
time, so he figured while were on land, there were things we could do.
I forgot about the foreign language. Santa presented us with a Spanish CD
course. So thatıs in the To Do list, too.
Cheers,
Sharon
