Okay, so many of you seem to be more interested in the bet Jim lost (hence him having to get a pedicure with clear polish and a design on each big toe) than our upcoming trip. So, here is the scoop. As many of you know, I was looking forward to Jim's retirement on December 31st with a bit of trepidation. I had to remind him that this was not a boss/employee relationship and to make life easier for both of us that he needed to remember our family's motto... there is the Wells way (me) and the wrong way. So, for the past month we have been keeping count as to who is "right" the most. A common saying to one of us challenging the other is "wanna bet?" I WON!!!

I thought you all might be interested in some of the stats of the Jamaica Bay III. The ship is newly constructed and just completed in Germany in late 2010. It is in its maiden season in the Caribbean. The owners have been on the ship for about three weeks and are still learning all the bells and whistles!  The copy is not that easy to read but here goes..
