Our good freeper from Illinois, Oswegodeee, is generously donating a great table prize for our cruise. She and her husband are the owners of a fine, critically-acclaimed restaurant, "Savannah's Southern Bistro" in one of Chicago's western suburbs (Aurora, Naperville area). It specializes in real southern low-country cuisine.

Savannah's imports the finest and most costly teas directly from the plantations of the East and other areas of the world. Oswegodeee will donate a gift box prize with several 4 oz quantities of packages chosen from the following loose teas:

Green Snail, a superior green tea, each leaf rolled to look like a snail. The most flavorful green tea, ever.

Green tea with orange zest, a refreshing drink. Great hot or iced.

English Breakfast, a blend of Assam, Darjeeling and Kenya black tea. A traditional English tea.

Black Ceylon directly imported from the Galaboda Tea Plantation high in the mountains above Columbo, Sri Lanka. Refreshing, smooth, great plain or with milk and sugar.

Black Nilgiri from the Parkside Tea Plantation. This tea is grown in the hills of Tamil Madu and Kerala, India. An aromatic, smooth black tea which is perfect hot or iced or to use with fruit juice to make a tea punch.

The teas come in sleek airtight cannisters which you can use forever.

The gift box will also include an IngenuiTEA tea maker, a modern marvel for the Tea Snob. It's a sensation on the market. Just put in your loose tea and boiling water, let it steep and pour. No fuss, no mess. Makes two cups.

If that isn't enough for you, there'll be a package of Jasmine Oolong, just wonderful with Oriental foods. A great tea to keep on hand when you order in Chinese!

The goodies keep coming! How about some luscious snacks to go with your cuppa?

Oswegodee will select some goodies from a list which includes Scottish All-Butter Shortbread Cookies, Cranberry Orange Scone Mix, Lime Smacker Cookies, and Dark Chocolate-Frosted Chocolate Macadamia Biscotti.

One of our cruiser freepers will win this fabulous prize at dinner some evening. Why not YOU? Make your reservation right now with Wanda and you'll also be eligible THREE times to win a $50 on-board-credit prize to spend any way you want on the cruise.

Please don't wait till it's too late to do anything but wail and gnash your teeth.

Our heartfelt thanks to Oswegodeee for her contribution to help make our trip a success and raise a few bucks for FR.

To Dee and hubby, you're both the FReepingest!

To: All; Bizzy Bugz
P.S.....Bizzy Bugz won a tea gift basket (again donated by Oswegodeee) on our last cruise, FReeps Ahoy 3. That basket one was creatively different, more of a selection of great items for a Victorian high tea.

Bizzy is a southern belle from Alabama, so she won the perfect gift for a southern tea party.

Bizzy, do you feel lucky again this cruise???
