1-Being a co-writer of the fan video with Jen and Ron, having Rob Shearman say "It's Good......Well not that good!" I love it! (especially Ron D's Kahlua method of stimulating writing creativity).
2-Playing in the fan video, but it is obvious I shouldn't give up my day job!
3-Snorkeling on the Cozumel reef, and the fun with our group on the catamaran and the beach. What a wonderful day!
4-Discussing everything from historical oddities to politics to Benjamin Britten with Sylvester McCoy.
5-Mayan ruins, just fabulous, especially Xunantunich in Belize.
6-Chichen-Itza, actually climbing to the top, something I was very worried about, since I have a fear of heights.
7-Conversations with our star guests, Lisa Bowerman and Frazer Hines, we learned a bit about photography and horses.
8-Our wonderful old and new friends on the cruise!
9-The entire ambience of the ship, just wonderful!
10-Trying to figure out the Mayan base 20 numerical system and cogwheeling calender system. A brain twister!
