Can you tell me how to get that going? I appreciate your assistance. We are cruising on the Carnival Freedom on April 19, 2008. I have 64 cabins booked so I'm not sure how many will show up for the meet and greet but am planning on at least 75 people. Thank you so much and I have really enjoyed having you as a CD!Tammy Hey John,

New Orleans! Been a while since I've been there! Love those beignets, yummy! I'm planning on being there!Linda Hernacki, how far are you from New Orleans? Can you use an alternate form of transportation like the bus or Amtrack? You don't want to miss out on the fun and us other bloggers want to meet you. Also, I've sailed on the Liberty and she is a beautiful ship, and huge. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful cruise on her.Roberto, I was just curious, who is the Captain right now on the Freedom and do you have any idea who will be at the helm of the Fantasy for the 2009 bloggers cruise? I sailed her a few years ago for a short Bahama's trip and I was just curious.Party on all! Hugs to Big Ed. Did they get those extra large robes and chairs we asked for?See you next year!Julie Gantt Wooooo Hooooo! New Orleans! Been a while since I’ve been there! Love those beignets, yummy!

And, I adore the idea of doing something for that community. I've met a number of displaced Orleanians (?) and their bravery, etc. is impressive.One woman worked hard in Memphis with Habitat for Humanity (they build homes for people) so she would have the skills to rebuild her own half destroyed home in N.O. Now that's one super chick!See you in 09 (if not before). Hooray for New Orleans!
