We began our trip around the world in NYC with other World Cruisers Larry & Ruthanne Gustafson, Barbara & Dan Christy plus Dennis and Jane Fennessey who will join us on the Los Angeles to Sydney leg. We were hosted by the Fennesseys in their New Jersey home and had a delightful day in NYC. First, we saw Jersey Boys, the musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons which was fabulous. Then we had a delightful dinner at Scaletta, where we were joined by Natalie and Michael Demar.
Tomorrow (Sunday) the Fennesseys will take us and the Gustafsons (plus our 16 suitcases) via a rented super van to the Queen Victoria. Then he will pick up the Christy’s at their hotel and deliver them with their 8 suitcases! Our sail out of NY harbor will probably be a media event as this will be the first time all three Cunard “Queens” will be together—the new Queen Victoria as we set sail on her maiden world cruise voyage, the Queen Mary II, and the soon-to-be-retired Queen Elizabeth II. There will be fireworks as the Three Queens sail down the Hudson River past the Statue of Liberty.

Just want you to know we how much we enjoyed watching the France Video again. It was even more enjoyable the second time.
Enjoy the cruise and we look forward to keeping in touch and following your adventures.
God Bless and Safe Journey
Jan and Larry
Thanks for sharing the start of your voyage with us. We had a great time. Let us know how ship life is and give us suggestions for our rendezvous in LA.
Ok, were you able to get the cases of wine on board? Deb
