Hello!  Had a nice time in Seattle, but too bad about those Kansas City Chiefs.  Now, it's catch-up time, and already I discovered we were having phone message problems again.  The phone company assures me it is being fixed -- my apologies and thanks to everyone for your patience.  If I missed a message, please try again or send me an e-mail at jmclaren@cruiseplanners.com.

So what's new with you? 

Well, the election's over -- which reminds me, I better go fill up the car today before the price goes back up, if I'm not already too late.

Prices are as low as they're going to be for cruises, too, so now is a good time to squeeze in something last-minute, or think about 2009 (especially with the reduced deposit sales going on right now).  I think we're safe to book next year's air after January 1, though, unless we come across a hot cruise line offering.

Packages are really taking a lot of shopping -- so don't do anything without calling us!  The other day, Larry helped out a friend who had been shopping a Disney package -- and he caught it that the amount somebody quoted her online did not really include the dining options that she wanted!  We're more careful with your money because you are our friends -- we'll make sure you not only get the best price, but that you actually get what you are paying for.

Take care and talk soon -- Janet
