Hey all;
Wow!! I'm so excited to see the roll call for this cruise! 
My DH and I will be onboard--we went on our very first cruise this past October on the Paradise for the 5-day Catalina/Ensenada jaunt and have been hooked ever since. The first thing we did when we returned was to start planning our next cruise! This one sets sail on his birthday--
--so we will have a special toast at sail away, and likely some cake & singing at dinner! (He will be so embarrassed). 
We have also invited another couple who are very dear friends and they have booked as well. My sister and her DH may be joining us too---we will know within a week or so.
I'll never forget how excited we were when we first saw the Paradise docked at port in L.A. It was like being a kid at Christmas all over again!
I'm starting to think about the shore excusions and whether or not I'll have a heart attack if I try the zipline in P.V.---(just had a good checkup with the cardiologist, so maybe I'll chance it!) Swimming with the dolphins has been the biggest thing on my wishlist for a very long time, so I definitely want to do that.
I would like to say hi to the folks from Yorkton, Sask.--we are from Calgary, and I believe our Stampeders will trounce your Roughriders this season! (Let's talk about it on board the Splendor over a coconut monkeyhead drink, shall we?) 
Talk to y'all soon;
