Our travels began two weeks early this year, January 5th, because Crystal
Symphony's World Cruise departed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida rather than Los Angeles, California for the
first time. So, we took the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World
for about two weeks prior to traveling to the departure point and the
complimentary overnight at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Miami and Gala Bon Voyage
Party.

to add links to
pictures after the pages are initially published, so be sure to check the
"Page updated" date at the top of each page to see if you have missed anything.
Spelling and typing errors are also corrected later, but we'll pretend those
never happened in the first place.
