Excellent response. Mahalo. I love visiting destinations even if they are brief excursions. I do love languishing in a location for days though and will do so before my cruise and also after, 3 days in a location at a time. I guess 3 days at sea will also be languishing in one location even though in transit. I'm really looking forward to the beautiful Silver Ray and now can't imagine being happy on any other ship. I think it will be perfect for me and I may even book a TP through the Inside Passage to Japan. Thanks for chatting, Frank. Catch you later. Wailua
