The Queen of Queens is here, but ever so briefly. Amid
the lightning she was all stop at 3:12, but she's
leaving about 6:30, so I had to come home to get the
cookies. No sleep tonight, but anything for a
steamboat. Incidentally, I'll be joining Franz, Carmen
and Leonie Saturday on the DQ for the ST.L-Nashville
cruise. It will be my first official DQ trip since
1983, and my 40th overall. Am I excited? Nahhhhhhh! And
of course, tomorrow the MQ is here, presumably for the
entire morning. The DQ is full to the gills, with some
crew members doubling up to free up pax space. And more
good financial news: there was an ad in the New Orleans
Sunday paper from the Bob Wall Travel Agency in NOLA,
stating that the DQ Co. was back operating in good
hands and financially sound. He is probably the biggest
cruise agency in NOLA, and spoke out during the
bankruptcy that it would take a lot to get him to book
passengers again on the DQ boats. Way to go, Delaware
North! Time to slosh through the rain and deliver the
cookies. Its now 4 AM. Life is tough along the
river!!!!!!!
