[conspire] Off to elsewhere; see you Oct. 29th

[Rick Moen]

SeaDream just called me to cancel, so, hey, we're now playing amateur 
travel agents and trying to line up a replacement Danube cruise -- the
one from Bucharesti (Bucharest) to Wien (Vienna).

Well, I always wanted to visit Schönbrunn Palace and the site of
Trajan's Bridge over the Danube 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan%27s_Bridge).  Now, seems I might 
get to do both.

SeaDream are not being chintzy about this:  We get full rebooking on 
almost any cruise through the end of 2018, plus all our current travel 
expenses incurred for the cancelled cruise (airfare, hotels, etc.) 
reimbursed, plus an additional complimentary 7-day cruise.  So, although
the 3-day and 7-day cruises got cancelled, we get three 7-day cruises in
exchange, plus our expenses picked up.  Sweet!

No idea, yet, whether the Oct. 29th CABAL meeting is still on.
