Tucson, Arizona


One More Blog Before We Leave on Monday



As you can imagine, we have been very busy preparing for our six-week trip. We have been doing endless laundry, making and checking lengthy lists, finalizing tours and other cruise activities, and panicking about all we still have left to do.

I do want to advise my readers about an important update about communication. As you may recall, on my transatlantic cruise this past April, my VCU email (llaban@vcu.edu) stopped working about half way across the ocean. I have been in discussion with the IT team at VCU; they have told me the error message I was receiving is very rare and they aren't sure how to fix it.

My Solution:  I will be using my alternate email (lawrencelaban1@gmail.com) to notify you about new blog posts. The best way to reach me is at lawrencelaban1@gmail.com. You may still contact Will directly at willfeathers@comcast.net.
Phone calls on board ship are very expensive for both the caller and receiver, even if we don't answer.

Other than that, we are both very excited about all the places we will visit and all the French Champagne we can drink.

LFLatSea will return after we start our journey.

Warmest regards to all.
