Who is this guy in my house?

On January 25, 2009, Allyn and I fly to Miami to begin our four month Ring of Fire Cruise on the Seven Sea Mariner. 
 
It will be a blast and we will be reporting every day. Our bags have already started the journey.

Regent Cruise Line is giving all of us who are taking all eight segments of the cruise a very special treat.  We have complimentary baggage transfers in both directions. We get a whopping 135 pounds per person and the bags will (hopefully) be in our cabin when we arrive.
 
Not only do we have door to door service, but each piece is individually bubble wrapped so that in theory it should travel much better than the normal airline method.
 
Stay tuned to see if it gets there.
