The 40th Anniversary cruise was more fun than I could have hoped for. And meeting Billie Jean King was the highlight for me. She is warm, wonderful and a great moitivational speaker. Okay, back to earth. I booked the Eastern Caribbean trip while onboard and I'm so glad I did. Now I have some very good reasons to get me through the next Canadian Winter. For all of you who have booked your first trip with Olivia, prepare to be amazed. I'm confident you will have a wonderful time, make marvelous memories and plan many Olivia adventures in the future.</description></item><item><title>Re: New Friends</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193933.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:29:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:193933</guid><dc:creator>cuddlebug1</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193933.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=196406&amp;PostID=193933</wfw:commentRss><description>Thanks for the information, we are looking forward to a fun trip with sun shine and sand verses snow and wind.

They call them vacation stretchers. The rate is usually pretty good, and many of us partake. It's a great way to get to know a few folks prior to the trip. Keep an eye on the trip page - it will probably show up in the next 2-3 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Staci and Amy&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: New Friends</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193903.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2013 04:06:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:193903</guid><dc:creator>cuddlebug1</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193903.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=196406&amp;PostID=193903</wfw:commentRss><description>Any suggestions on where to stay before the cruise?
