Saw your letter in the NYT...how did the rest of the trip "work out"?

Arriving at a reception for the Europe-bound grad students, I recounted my tale. A German about ten years my senior excused himself from the group, only to return moments later to introduce himself as an assigned leader, there to hold orientation meetings onboard. He had spoken with the ship’s purser, and wonder of wonders, I would get the upper bunk in his private cabin. Rather than a four-person berth as held by the other student passengers, I’d won a far more luxurious accommodation.
“I have only one request,” he said with a grin, “Seven to nine in the evening is my private time, just in case I’m entertaining a guest. You get nine to eleven.”
“Not a problem,” I replied, “that’ll work out just fine.”
Off to Germany at last, I took my complimentary champagne and went out to watch Lady Liberty sliding past.

Thanks for your question, Karen. Stay well! Patrick(less)
