Date: Jan. 8, 2007
Location: Miami
Next Port: Departure from Ft. Lauderdale on Jan. 9, 2007
Quick Summary: Everything is “GO” for launch (cast-off) tomorrow.
Report: We enjoyed an uneventful, on-time flight today down to Miami from Chicago. Regent reps met us at the airport and escorted us to a waiting limo for the short ride to the Four Seasons Hotel. They had a special desk set up where we turned in our passports and actually checked in for the cruise. We have our cruise ship cards, so after the complimentary breakfast, we transfer by mini coaches to the ship and just walk on.
Tonight, Regent hosted an excellent reception and dinner at the hotel. We met several new couples during the check-in process, the reception and dinner. Many of the people we met had Chicago connections. It promises to be a fun group.
We also met the Voyager’s Capt. Dag, RSSC’s President Mark Conroy and several people from the company. Everything so far has been very well done…we are impressed that Regent seems to have things well in hand.
Now, if our shipped luggage shows up….

Larry and Karen,
We are so enjoying your Journal from the High Seas! Cannot believe that all has gone so well...the luggage arriving on time alone is a huge victory for all of us who travel! Congratulations!
To pur your experience in perspective, I'm reading this from snowy Seattle...we had our second round (though light) of snow yesterday, so the streets have another layer of the white stuff, with the temperature hovering around 25 degrees this morning. There are, however, beautiful blue/sunny skies today. But what a contrast to what you're experiencing!
The Hawks and Da Bears are on the television, but know that--somehow--you're likely going to keep up with that event!
All our best for smooth sailing. Love that Karen is experiencing Pilates (it's the best!)
Sherry, Bob & Eric
