VE BER. . .IT' ALLO ER Arguably, the best part of a cruise fthe only good part for somel is getting home. For us, 17 November was a day We looked forward to for a long time. The rest of the world is nice, but it's just not home. As the days wound down, the excitement wound up. The night before arrival home is when you find ,ifffwgnu ff , K f- ' , rl f ,i f Q will ,c tw W . D' the heaviest case of channel fever there is. All the old familiar sightsg Point l ' g Loma, the Coronado Bridge and all the rest of them. And then there's the l X G family and friends and that's the best part of all.

We have made an effort to get everybody's picture into this book and had picture taking sessions with each division twice during the cruise. Even so -- some of you people, regrettably, have still not been photographed. For that we apologize and hope those few who fall into that category will enjoy this book anyway. We have put together a book which, we feel, is different from past cruisebooks of the LOUIS. We have added more color, more pages, more pictures, some art work and a spicier style of writing. Let it be said here and now that all which is written here is meant to be taken in a lighter vain and no offense is intended towards anyone or any group. We know we couldn't even begin to do your jobs and we don't try to tell you that we can. We just wanted to put together a book you can enjoy and for once feel you are investing 556.00 in pages you can use to remember the good old days with a smile rather than feeling you threw away good money on another damn cruisebook. So these pages are dedicated to each and every one of you who took part in this cruise. This is from us to you.
