We are off again

Hi Everybody,



We are off on another adventure. The limo arrives at 9am tomorrow morning to take us to our luxurious floating home away from home. We will board the Holland America Rotterdam in New York City and be pampered and fed well for the next 15 days. Our itinerary is shown below. From the Rotterdam dock in Rotterdam, we will be taken by bus to Amsterdam airport and fly to Dublin, where we will spend 6 more days before flying home.



We will be blogging as time permits, so join us for stories of our adventures and hopefully we will also be able to manage to post pictures as we go.



Here's where we will be headed:

This time we will be taking a much more northerly route than the last time and we expect cooler weather for the entire trip. We anticipate that the temperature range will be 40 - 60 degrees, although it may be colder off the coast of Newfoundland in an area known as Iceberg Alley. We are finally packed, except for the cosmetics and computer which will be used in the morning. If we wind up with a heat wave, we'll just have to go everywhere in bathing suits because just about everything else we packed is more winter than summer. Won't that be a sight? Yikes!!



OK - have to go to bed now. Hope to see you all soon. You can respond to us by commenting on this blog where all can see your questions and comments, or for friends and family, just email us directly.
