Barbara and Muddy4paws:

Thanks for putting this in perspective for me - you are SO right - having a couple of nice pens in a safe is nothing compared to the wonderful memories of a cruise!!

(Every other time we have gone on one, I have made a HUGE collage of the pics when we get back, and they are hung above my desk in the study - it's so nice to look back on all the wonderful places we have visited)

When we bought the pens it was as an investment for a "rainy day" so I guess this must be our rainy day!!!

Rachel - I have PMd you
