July 23rd 2009 My favorite ship was beached today in Alang India! After 56 years of almost continious service Regal Empress was run up onto the beach to begin demolition. Joy and I sailed her three times the last time this past febuary and always enjoyed the trip back in time. Well summer racing is in full swing with Saratoga ready to start next week. Our next cruise will be on Aranui to the Marquesus,so we have something to look forward too and pay for so all this driving will pay off. So till january everybody have a great summer and look back here for our departure January 7th 2010.
