But not for good!  I just wanted to let you all know, so you don't think I got sucked into the past or some parallel time.  I'll be leaving in a few days for the east coast, and then, as a gift, joining friends on a month long transatlantic crossing/cruise on board the brand, new Queen Mary 2.  We sail from New York to Southampton, and then on to Scotland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Holland, back to England, and cross the Atlantic back to New York.  I'll be home sometime in August.  Now don't you think that we should suggest having one of the DS Festivals done with something like this?  We could turn the entire liner into Collinwood!  Everyone would think we sailed through the Bermuda Triangle.

Sounds like a great trip, Gerard. No point in telling you to enjoy yourself, as it sounds like a given. ;)

Gerard,

How fabulous! That sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy!

Vlad, that's a very good question. Although I will be traveling to Rome this November with two good friends, so that's pretty exciting too. It seems we'll be staying near the Trevi Fountain within coin tossing distance.   Hope you're well - gotta write you of these days!

Wow...the trip of a lifetime indeed!!

Be sure you keep a journal so you can regale us with stories (in your usual humorous style  ;) ) upon your safe return!!

And wave hello to Scotland for me!!

bon voyage,

In the words of Hyacinth Bookay - oh my word, how nice!  I'll try to not sit here and seethe with envy.  My wife's aunt took the Queen Mary to South America earlier this year and had a wonderful time.
