So hey, this would have been much more interesting / amazing if I had mentioned it earlier - but my cousin Karen (who gave a reading at our wedding) and her husband Jack are chaperoning a group of high school students on a Mediterranean cruise this April, and Liz and I had hoped that we could catch up with them in Athens for a few nights.
But I never mentioned this story, because as luck (and super-expensive plane tickets) would have it, we're not meeting up with them.
Either way, guess which boat they were supposed to be on?
Yup, the Sea Diamond - the one that sunk on Friday.
Luckily they weren't on it yet, as their cruise started on Sunday.
