We’ve been home for over a week now, yet we’re still adjusting in many ways. We seem to be back on the right time zone, which thanks to the ocean crossing really went pretty easily. We arrived only about 2 – 3 hours off. We still seem to want to eat different amounts of food [...]

Anyone reading this from the 60s-70s generation might need read no further; you probably get the general idea! Two days home and we’re beginning to adjust. The time changes that happened on board the ship helped a great deal – but not entirely. We seem to be about 3 hours off still, not bad for [...]

Sorry to be out of touch for so long! We boarded the Queen Mary 2 on June 2 and we haven’t been able to connect (they did have internet but at 50 cents a minute). This morning we watched the sun rise over the Statute of Liberty as we arrived in NY . We are [...]

We had a great train ride through the Chunnel from Paris to London. It’s actually a rather “boring” ride in terms of the scenery (and at least 1/2 hour is spent in the tunnel). We enjoyed first class and were served a nice luncheon type meal while enjoying cozy seats. I was worried about my [...]

We are currently sitting in the Gare du Nord train station waiting for our train to London in a hour or so. There’s a nice lounge for first class travelers (which we’re doing for comfort and the meal!) with connection. So here’s just a few pictures from our few days in Paris. From London, this [...]

We had a great first day in Paris. It was part of the river cruise tour so we spent the afternoon and evening with people from that cruise. We went on the organized tour of Versailles. We had not been there before as about 10 years ago when we came to Paris, there had been [...]

Goodness, that was a long stretch without posting, wasn’t it? Hope you are all checking back in! We have just arrived in Paris from a week cruising on the river Rhone and Soane. This is the boat when we arrived in Arles. It was a small boat holding only about 125 people with, best we [...]

Our next to last day in Nice. Tomorrow we transfer from the current hotel we’re in a block or two away to the hotel that is the official start of our “Flavors of Burgendy & Provence†River cruise. We’re having second thoughts (and that’s all they can be!) and hoping we enjoy being with a [...]

We arrived last night from Figueres Spain to Nice France! It took about 7 hours total. We went Figueres to Montpellier, changed trains and then Montpellier to Nice. We had quite a moment when we went to track D and waited patiently only to have Rich observe that no-one else was on the platform. He [...]

We leave tomorrow morning for Nice France. It’s been a wonderful wonderful time here in Spain. We’ve learned a great deal, met wonderful people, and experienced not only another culture; but had time to reflect on the “culture” we live in. We had a great day and a half in Cadaques! I’ll post more another [...]
