Perseverance, patience, persistence

We kept playing, and finally got a few good cards at bridge today. It does make playing the game a lot more fun.

When we got home, we had a phone message from the American Cruise Line. The September 2014 Mississippi River trip we had tried to book a few weeks ago was full. I asked if they’d call us if there was a cancellation. The agent I talked to wasn’t particularly encouraging, but said he’d keep our names in the computer. Lo and behold! There had been a couple of cancellations. We even had a choice of two different cabins and price levels. And we are now booked on the river cruise of our choice in 2014.

So persistence paid off - short term and long term. Plus we’re finally getting some sunshine.
