Who Knows "All" ?

When you’re in So. America just know that I’m there with you all in spirit, possibly under a straw hat….

I’m the person who knows about each of you
Your food allergies, special requests and even what the F. in Harry Oxley’s name stands for.
It’s been fun to get to know alll of you!
Have fun, get crazy and enjoy all that South America and Holland America Line have to offer.
I hope this is a “Once in a lifetime experience” for each of you!
