210 SAILING THE CANARIES

220 CRUISING EUROPE’S EXOTIC ISLES

Whenever my husband Carl and I arrived early
for dinner in the main dining room on Holland
America's Rotterdam, staff members in the re-
ception area would enthusiastically smile and

forgetting the world's tragic problems, forcing
me to relax and have fun.
