There’s gotta be a connection here. We just spent the weekend with our three grown children (and families) and one of the topics of conversation was some in-house trading of cel phones so that their mother, O Travel Queen, would wind up with an iPhone<\/a> instead of a Blackberry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means, once she downloads her iPhone app \u2014 free \u2014 she can check out cabins and suites, wellness and fitness centers, restaurants and bars, even Grand Prix and golf simulators.<\/p>\n
