UTP 10 - Days 1 and 2 - Mon, 15 Feb 2016

#UTPCruise - Boarded the Celebrity Solstice at 2:30 pm. We had a few hours to get our cabins organized and then headed off for supper. All the Conference participants had a corner of the main dining room in the 6 p.m. session reserved for them, and so it all began.

At 8pm, we met for the “Meet and Greet”. Helen Smith introduced the speakers and asked each to give a short bio. I was called on first and exceeded Helen’s time limit. In all, we’ve got an excellent selection of 11 speakers highlighted with Judy Russell and Paul Blake over the next 18 days.

The next day, we tendered at the Bay of Islands in New Zealand. Most people took a day trip and there were several on my trip with me, and thus began the opportunities to share our genealogical experiences, such as the special features of The Master Genealogist and what software to use to replace it now that it has been retired.

Supper again with the group, which I know will be a daily highlight.

Then Judy Russell, the Legal Genealogist gave a very appropriate first talk:

Drinks in the Sky Lounge afterwards, and then off to bed.
