6/1: Hi all. Got an email concerning another "Mahopac Cruise" coming up next March. Rose and I along with a few others from our class went on the last one, and we really enjoyed it. Most of the MHS people were from classes in the 80's and 90's, but we had a good time. This next cruise will be a 9 night cruise that will go to New Orleans, to the Caribbean, and include Roatan, Bay Island, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel.

It leaves from Tampa, Fl. It begins March 2, 2024.

I don't have any other info, but will post it when I get it.

If you think you might be interested, let me know.

If you saw a post about Valerie here, it is not true. Don't know where I got that info from. Sorry Valerie.
