The cruise was great! Jack Claton's daughter Dawn's wedding went off without a hitch (as far as I could tell, as a guest.) They were married on board, and it was a very nice and short ceremony. I met all of her new husband's (Randy) relatives who came for the event. Dawn's mom, Paula was there with a friend, and her sister Shirley from Chicago. Also her brother Scott and his wife, Shannon and their son, Nick. It was a fun time. I finally went snorkeling off of Cozumel, and finally got to Belize. The weather was perfect, the food was excellent, and, most importantly, Dawn and Randy's friends and relatives made the cruise!!
My brother-in-law, Chuck, picked me up at the Tucson airport, and then he and Miriam and I went to Restaurant Terra Cotta to celebrate our birthdays which were on the 16th and 19th. I stayed overnight with them, and Chuck dropped me at Jack's house in Green Valley. I took one of his cars, and picked Jack and Carol at the Tucson airport, and stayed at their home for two nights. I'm now at my condo in Ruidoso until April 1, at which time I can reclaim my home.
Now that I have my computer back and working, perhaps I can post some of the pictures.

LAST DAY IN BA
I've finally found a computer that will let me add to my blog. I'll probably have to fill in some blanks later, as I remember them.
I haven't had a lot to do for the last week, since I wasn't going to school, so I was just relaxing and enjoying the Buenos Aires scene in Recoleta Village. I actually went to a movie--Babel. This was before I knew it won any prizes. After 45 minutes, I gave up. It was horrible and depressing. As usual, I didn't learn from my mistakes, and tried another movie the next day. I was looking for a laugh, so bought a ticket to Borat. That was even more boring and not funny at all; and apparently the audience in attendence agreed. I heard one guy laugh one time! Another 45 minutes wasted!
Today is my last day in Buenos Aires and South America. My flight is scheduled to leave EZE at 10PM, and I'll be there, but my money says it won't leave at 10. A couple of days ago, there was a big rain and lightening storm that took out the airport's radar. It has allegedly been fixed.
Next stop MIA at 4:30AM. Then, as soon as I can wake them up, a limo trip to the Hyatt Regency in Weston, Florida where I will spend the night of the 10th. Jack and Carol have offered to share their room with me, but they don't arrive until the evening of the 11th.
Then, on to the cruise, relatively early on Monday morning the 12th. We have to board early for the wedding, and eat first, since no food will be available until we set sail late in the afternoon.
That's it for now. I'll try to fill in the blanks on my trip to Iguaza Falls in another post.
