Default Queens Meet in Long Beach, CA

To Whom It May Concern:

We came across this information from the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well. If this is somehow a repeat of an
earlier post, sorry we missed it. This can always be ignored or deleted.


Queen Mary 2, operating its first West Coast itinerary since its launch in
2004, had a rendezvous with its former namesake, the original Queen Mary on
Thursday. Travel agents and media guests, as well as paying passengers, were
onboard for festivities in Long Beach, CA, harbor. As the QM2 sailed by the
Queen Mary, both ships sounded their horns, and the blasts could be heard
for 10 miles. One horn on QM2 is an original used on the Queen Mary many
years ago. The celebration in Long Beach harbor also featured fireboats, a
flotilla of ships of all types, and skywriting by airplane, as well as flag
waving by guests from the ships. Retired from maritime service for nearly 40
years, the Queen Mary, which sailed between 1937 and 1967, is one of Long
Beach's most revered attractions, serving as both a hotel and a tour venue.
QM2 is operating a three-day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico prior to heading off
to Hawaii and the Pacific on the remainder of its World Cruise.


Happy sailing,
John Sisker

John's next attempt to promote his agency may be to relate the news item of
the loss of the Titanic.

We know, John, we all saw the movie.
