Impish:
Hi everyone:

I;m not on the ship yet, but had to check in to see if Chris is OK and I'll rest easier now that he's out of his coma.  While I'm here, I thought I'd get this thread started... 

I'm in Nice using a French keyboard so forgive the many typos I'm sure to make. 
I arrived yesterday and wandered around Vieux Nice (old Nice) with its roads so teensy that no car could get through.  Stopped in a sorbet shop, where they make their own from every fruit imaginable.  I just had to try the cactus sorbet, and it was delicious.

I wnet to the museum of modern art today ...  my favorite piece was a replica of the Venus de Milo but the body was done using fake fingernails, with all different colors of nail polish.  Hard to explain.

Tomorrow I'm renting a car to drive up on the Grande Corniche above Nice, where Cary Grant and Grace Kelly picnicked in Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief."

Sunday we board the ship at 1p, and set sail at 5pm.  More from the high seas on Monday.

Bonne journee a tous!

This sounds just wonderful Bill - just wonderful!   I hope this journey through the world is a journey to yourself as well.  Best wishes,

Front-Ranger:
Thanx for taking us along with U in spirit. Celeste, luv your new avatar.

David:
Hey Impish!

    I just saw this pic they took of your group arriving on the Ship.   

If I were you,  I'd be real cautious with these people around Midnight!   :laugh:

I think U need someone to come along and serve as the official cilantro taster, to make sure no cilantro is in the same room cabin as U! Meanwhile let us know of any brokeisms U hear on the cruise...and everything else for that matter!

p.s. David is running amok on Safe Haven...just as we all hoped!
