My buddy Rick (who runs the guitar shop) and his wife are currently on a
12 day cruise on the Norwegian Dawn celebrating their 25th wedding
anniversary. Right now they are docked at Philipsburg (Sint
Maarten)/Lesser Antilles.

They are due back in Boston this coming Friday. I'll have to email him
the news about the Norwegian Breakaway just to get him nervous. :-)
