Thanks Bill. I can't say that I got tired seeing gold and diamonds. The weather in London wasn't sunny but not much rain.

My sister and I arranged everything, Liszt. We looked at what's offered by spending a ton of time on the internet. For stops on the cruise, we took some excursions offered from the ship, and other stops we made our own way in the various cities.

We booked our airline tickets through a Canadian agency and had them book our cruise. We paid attention to any discounts that were offered later, to get more benefits. It was hard to plan this trip but well worth it. I can't tell you about satisfaction levels, since we are the ones that had to look for discounts, and one of our planes got cancelled. We had to make changes.

Thanks Pat. It was a 25 day trip. My sister and I did it on our own.

Thanks Pat. I would love to spend a week or two in Italy. I would stay in a hotel and visit various cities that I didn't get to see on this trip.

Welcome to my blog, RubiSleepinBuuty. I'm glad you liked my photos. Thank you.

It's too bad you can't go with your daughter, but if she takes videos and pics, it will make you feel like you were there.
