Welcome

Dear Friends & Families & combinations thereof:

As you know (or you wouldn't be reading this), Margie and Phil are heading South this winter. We board the Crystal Symphony in Los Angeles December 7, and plan to leave her January 25 in Miami. Unless we get a better offer along the way. We'll keep a lookout for you at:
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico 12/9
Caldera, Cost Rica, 12/13
Guayaquil, Ecuador, 12/16
Lima, Peru, 12/18
Valparaiso, Chile, 12/23
Christmas cruising the Chilean Fjords
Punta Arenas, Chile 12/27
Ushiaia, Argentina, 12/29
New Year's Day cruising Antarctica
Falkland Islands, U.K., 1/4
Puerto Madryn, Argentina, 1/6
Montevideo, Uruguay, 1/8
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1/9
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1/12 & 1/13
Salvador, Brazil, 1/15
Fortaleza, Brazil, 1/17
Barbados, West Indies, 1/21
Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos, 1/23

We will not get phone messages or snail mail for those 2 months, but should get email at phil@joistdesign.com. Assuming their satellite link is working and we're not too busy relaxing.

If you want to see what we're seeing, four cameras are mounted on the ship at http://www.crystalcruises.com/liveviews.aspx. We're on the Crystal Symphony, and our cabin is on the port side towards the aft. And, subject to the same assumptions as above, I may post a few pictures here.

Have fun, and stay warm,
Phil & Margie
