Schmooze from a cruise

Cousin Chris, pictured below, who is sailing with his crew on the Caribbean, e-mailed this annoying dispatch: Hello, landlubbers, Royal Caribbean accidentally upgraded me to "Diamond Status" so we have some perks, including a half-hour of internet and ... four hours of cocktails each night in the concierge lounge ... along with other goodies. I'm not complaining. The Voyager is the largest ship we've been on ... very nice, tons of things to do. Even though there are a lot of people, it doesn't seem crowded. We were in Jamaica today, went to an all-inclusive resort (as Jamaica is said to be somewhat dangerous) and spent all day on the (clothing optional) beach, with a dozen bars, several swimming pools and jerk chicken shacks ... again, can't complain. Tomorrow is Grand Cayman, and Friday is Cozumel. We'll be back on land on Sunday and then will drive home from Galveston. Will call when we get back on land. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ZACK!!! Hope the weather back home is cold and snowy!!!! We're all sunburned and fat, Chris and the gang Addendum: Mary e-mailed later to say everyone was having a great time but that little E. has announced she's "homesick." Must miss all our snow and mud.
