Podróżnik My favorite travel story is sitting in large in ground hot tubs in Rotorua, Nee Zealand late at night with a bunch of locals and a bunch of beer. They were pointing out constellations that we don’t see in the Northern Hemisphere. There was great music being piped which made the ambience even better. As they were pointing out the Southern Cross to my friend and I, the CSN song Southern Cross starts playing! Perfect timing! Every time I hear that song, I remember that evening with a smile!

Where to Captain Morris? I see your first mate, Susan, is searching the seas. Pirates seen? The control deck is bigger than I thought but I too was looking for the giant Captain steering wheel. Enjoy! [Susan Gates]
