OT: I'm Leaving All Of You!
« on: September 27, 2008, 12:28:44 AM »
But not for long!  I'm going on my first vacation in over four years......on a Mediterranean cruise on the brand new Queen Victoria!  I'm leaving this Sunday and will be gone for almost three weeks.  We sail out of Rome and go to Naples, Capri, Istanbul, Athens, several Greek Isles, Dubrovnik and end up in Venice.  My friend and I will be staying for a few more days in Venice!  I'll try to get everyone a T-shirt, and if I can't, I'll save up the small bottles of shampoo from our cabin bathroom!

I'm dying of envy.

Do the Queen Victoria's friends call her the Queen Vicki?

Thanks, everyone, for the bon voyage wishes!  I've got so much to do today yet.  Go to the store, tons of laundry, making sure I've got everything, packing, and I even still hafta mow the lawn!  I'm hoping to check in once more tonight (especially to see my daily fix of episode stills since I'll be missing almost three-weeks worth of episodes!).  Queen Victoria, I mean Queen Vicki, here I come!

Sounds wonderful, Gerard.  I wonder whether the Queen Vicki will make a stop in Crete. I long to visit the Minoan ruins there.

If you stop in Samos, don't forget to sample the delicious local white wine (if you drink, that is!) and visit the ruins of the Temple of Hera, once one of the most beautiful in all Greece.

cheers!  Steve

Bon voyage, or, as they say in French World, Buena Vista Home Entertainment!

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket,
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
