There may be a slight hiccup to our early morning travel to Heathrow on Thursday via the Piccadilly line. If so we will take Heathrow Connect to the airport.

The last time we were here the moat was filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies representing the British and Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives in World War I.

We were back to the Mexican restaurant we ate at the other day because the matinee we were attending was just a couple of blocks away and also because the food was so awesome.

Dessert. Linda almost licked her plate clean. Great Food. Great Theater. Great time.

The play was The Mousetrap which has been running continuously for 64 years. After the performance Linda couldn’t, for the life of her, see why it had even lasted a month let alone decades. Wow, that sure made me feel better. Now I know why I have such a hard time pleasing her, just because I’ve been around for a long time doesn’t make me special.

Linda wanted to see Jersey Boys again.

Our first time ever not sitting in the stalls. Never again. We really enjoyed the show, but like Linda said, we want to the the sweat on the actors faces and the spittle spew from their mouths. The reason we were up here was because they had no seats available in the stalls. The Easter holiday was the reason. Linda clapping her hands to the music while a million watt smile lite up her face said all was good no matter where we were sitting.

Around the World in 128 Days - Arrival at Ft. Lauderdale and back home again

Image
  The Cruise is Over - May 11, 2024 - 5,904 Steps It was over months ago we walked out to this same spot shortly after we boarded the ship. Then it was a glorious and joyous afternoon, today it was a glorious but sad morning.  Instead of watching to see if could recognize our luggage being loaded aboard the Zuiderdam, it was watching to see if we could spot it being off loaded. The lineup of trucks bringing provisions for the next sailing that would be leaving a few hours. Trucks were lined up in the far distance awaiting their turn to unload. Port Everglades is a very busy cruise ship terminal. There was a staggering amount of food to be loaded onto the ship. A pallet of apples. A last look at the old home place that served us so well for the past mounts. Literally shutting the door on one of the most awesome adventures we have ever been on. But the fall of next year we will be opening the door on an another one. We patiently waited for our group, Gray 1, to be called. The lu...

Around the world in 128 Days - San Juan, Puerto Rico

  Travel Day 126 - May 8, 2024 - 7,666 Steps Joe and Patrick our room stewards who have gone way beyond and above to not only keep our room in perfect conditions, but also have a great sense of humor. If it looks familiar it's because it the same one I recently read. I mentioned to Linda I thought she would enjoy reading it, and she did. You never know how things like this are going to turn out. It proved to be great from original songs, standup comedians, dancing, musical instruments. There's talent hidden amongst the ship's passengers. It took a while after Jose And Grace were transferred  from the Lido, but in the opposite corner of the Lido we found Lisna, who was every bit as awesome as they were. David's history presentation, proving once again that only a tiny bit of history is about names and dates like we were taught in high school. A cartoon from several centuries ago portraying the effects of consuming too much sugar on the King of England. And it is a slight...

Around the World in 128 Days - At Sea Day Next to Last Day of the Cruise

  Travel Day 127 - May 9, 2024 - 5,904 Steps Gonna miss this view in a few days. With the cruise drawing ever closer to be over, Linda has certainly been glad of the many "Linda" sea days like today.. The laundry always comes back with one of these stickers on each article. Too bad it took until the last week to learn we could have pulled them off when putting the freshly laundered cloths away. All that scratchy itchy underwear!  Linda once again in the front row for Kim's interview. It was the bridge officers turn this morning. There is so much we learned about the operation of the ship from these sessions. David is ending his lectures with one today and tomorrow on Russia. Ivan set the tone for what Russia is even today. Enemies of the Russian ruler are simply killed. It's been that way for over 450 years. The last Tsar. And what came after the tsars was just as bad. It was little things like this which made the voyage so interesting. How one puts a survival suit on...
