Hi Bruno,

Carmen's info is correct. We will raft in Natchez and Vicksburg. We are also in Memphis together on Day 1, but the DQ will be at the Mud Island facility and we will be a couple of miles away at Green State Park.

I look forward to the Natchez and Vicksburg days. When we do get to be together, there is a lot of cross visiting among the crew and it's like a family reunion with lots of hugs.

I can relate a funny story about this. In my years on the AQ, I became quite friendly with one of the servers. His name is Wayne. When I transferred to the DQ after the bankruptcy, I was very pleased to see him there and always greeted him with a hearty, "Hey Wayne, how are you?".

Until one day when "Wayne" informed me that, "My name is Dwayne. Wayne is my twin brother". He just never had the heart to correct me!

The twins never worked the same boat, but whenever the AQ and DQ were co-ported, it was so heartwarming to see the genuine affection these guys had for each other and how excited they were to be together.

Anyway, I'll see you in Vicksburg.

Paul
