Best Of The Lou! September 2-7

5:26 PM Tue, Sep 02, 2008 |

I apologize for the delay in getting this week's edition posted. I just got back from a cruise. Fortunately, the worst I got from Gustav was a diversion to the Bahamas instead of Cozumel. We had great weather! I heard one of the other ships couldn't make it back into port because of the storm so everyone got a 2 day longer cruise. I picked the wrong ship!

All of this week's events fall on the weekend. I guess that will be the trend now that summer is winding down. If you know of anything else going on this week, let me know!
