Port 1 - Dubrovnik

I could say we woke up with the sunrise. Heck, I could say anything. But to be honest, we awoke just in time to watch our approach into Dubrovnik. Upon seeing the bright sunshine, some of us opted to stay in the shadows until the hair of the dog took hold.

Cheerio, Miss Sophie!

A beverage or two later, we began to get ready to disembark.

Arghhhhhhhhhh. Help!

We've had a kidnapping? From our stateroom? Call 911! Call Svetlana! Call Ingrid!

"Hello. Emergency? We've had a kidnapping. Here, from 1600. Describe the victim? Tall, thin, white sticky-out hair. Last seen in the bathroom. What? Oh, lying on the sink. Yes, the sink. Huh? No, SHE wasn't. It was. Name? Oral-B. Stop laughing. I said stop that laughing. "

The Victim

Once the authorities had been informed, we decided there wasn't anything we could do for the moment, except comfort Q in her loss, so to off to Dubrovnik we went.

Dubrovnik. Breathtaking. This is a place we would all love to visit again.

Greetings from Croatia

The water was gorgeous, the buildings were amazing, the people were friendly, and the shops, well, the shops were everywhere.

But soon it was time to return to the ship to see if the "Case of the Kidnapped Oral-B" had been solved. By now our secret weapon had been deployed.

After dinner some of the group enjoyed the show, some enjoyed the casino, and some just plain enjoyed. But the call never came. No ransom. No nothing.
