Peri,

First, I can't remember reading another one of your reviews comments and
discussion, sure, but review, no, but how could I not remember, you are
such a terrific writer?! Your "quick" recap was delightful to read. Thanks
for making the effort.

Second, I am so glad you had fun on the Rhapsody. I worried about reassuring
you that you'd like it--thanks for coming back and telling all of us what a
good time you had. I am impressed with the consistency of the Rhapsody. Your
take on it as an experienced cruiser reinforces my opinion that it's a
"recommendable" cruise. I'm actually kinda tempted to go out on her again,
esp. if I could be sure that Dan Dan the Party Man and Derek Lewis were
still aboard!

And thanks for the plug for the locals who tend to make up the majority on
those ships out of Galveston! I agree, we're a fun-loving and friendly
bunch! I married a New Yorker, so I gotta love you guys, too. But there's
nothing like Texans...okay, you Okies and Cajuns, too!

Thanks, Peri. What's next for y'all?
