Hey Rum! Congrats on the retirement!! My husband Steve retired 2 weeks ago from the post office. Like you, when we planned this trip we didn't realize it would be such a celebration! And, as luck would have it, we're also staying at IA too. Getting in on the 24th. We'll have to all have a flaming Bob Marley together at the bar! Just look for the big Japanese guy with the Blackhawks t shirt. We're actually leaving tomorrow morning. Doing a cruise then leaving directly after docking for JA. See you there a week from today!
