For the new people here, the cruise is something we planned quite some
time ago. It's taking place on April 16, 17, and 18--we are leaving out
of LA on the HOLIDAY for a three day cruise. Brenda is in charge so if
you want to know more about it you can contact her--I have no idea if
you can still join up with us or if it's too late but her email address
is: [email protected] just in case.
