Wow. Imagine making a transatlantic crossing on her!

I think of that every time I see one of those teeny, tiny ships! Glad I wasn't on them

Good tip! I knew nothing about this. Of course, I know nothing about a lot of things, Daniel. 😂

Oh my, the weekend is gone. I spent Saturday flying home (smooth connections) and yesterday running around the house like a madwoman. You know how it is

@@warrenwolf4690 Very short, welcome home as I'm off again Monday. Hurtigruten came up with a Scandinavian cruise where I had never even heard of the ports! Jumped on it.
