It took the lead today, they are just past the 1/2 way point. Randy sent me an email today, he is getting all set up to try to get pictures of the ships arriving in Hawaii. I love the Hugo Boss one also. These pictures really are amazing. Karin gave ma a CD filled with so many it was difficult to choose which pictures to use.
