I agree that a white shirt, black pants, black vest, eye patch and bandana would work great. I think I'll just check out the offering at the Halloween outlet. In fact, I think my boss might have been Captain Hook at a Halloween party himself and maybe he'd be willing to lend us the outfit. The only problem: takes up space in the old suitcase. I've got to consider that as well.
Although I'd like to explore Panama, I really feel I want to be on the ship to go through the locks and all. I can always go back down to explore the area at another time although it's a very remote possibility. Decisions, decisions, decisions !!!! And only 8 months to figure it all out !!!!!

Thanks, Barbara. I was happy with the way everything turned out yesterday, but had to grit-my-teeth smile at one point! After starting preparations for this on TUESDAY (special trip to shop for Japanese ingredients) and cooking since Thursday, Martin's cousin gave his sister all kinds of praise for the Japanese new year's vegetable tray and salad she had prepared, and Martin for how hard he was working "slaving away making all the tempura!" which has to be cooked at the end once the guests have arrived. Then she looked at me, and said "and you've been busy too - it's so much work to get the house ready and then you'll have to clean everything up tomorrow!"
