Hi Karen
thanks for the update. speaking of Gilbert, my middle son lives there. In fact he has been there for many years now, works in and around Phoenix area. they have just signed papers for building of new home which will continue to be in that area. I lived near that area for over 25 years, a little community just south of there called Casa Grande. Things are getting very expensive there with the real estate market. Again, glad that you are keeping me updated as we all look forward in the up coming cruise. If you hear of any thing about the itinerary , Cozumel in particular, please let me know. I think by time we hit the cruise all should be back to normal. I wasnt all that impressed with Cozumel when there a couple months ago, but if you are going to take side visits for beaches, snorkling, diving it should be great. dont get caught up in taking the island tour to see the ruins etc as thats a huge joke. My son went on diving tour and was super delighted. I am hopeful that the submarine ride is back in operation and the glass bottom boat tour.
Stay warm, have a great winter and keep thinking how much fun we all are going to enjoy.
