I've tried that but they say to call 118 119 which doesn't mean anything to me.

I see the name listed but no phone number.

I will have to wait until May of next year to be in England.

I was supposed to go to Bermuda this month but didn't make it because of the hurricane.
The captain cancelled the trip when all the passengers were on board. We ended up going to Florida and Nassau which was a poor substitute.

How is your mother doing?

We are going to Bermuda next week. I hope we have better luck than you did. Sorry to hear about the trip, I expect DW was disappointed. Mother nature can certainly turn things upside down.

You could put an ad in the IOW local newspaper looking for your cousin, maybe someone would see it who knew him/her.

Are you going on a cruise and if so which one.

I have spent all morning making reservations for Thanksgiving and I was successful for the hotel but it was difficult for a restaurant. I think they may be booked a year in advance.
The hotel and restaurant is in Midway Utah. We finally got a restaurant in a top hotel in Salt Lake City. Lucky!

We are leaving from Charleston on a cruise to Bermuda. Our daughter lives there. We will drive down, and she will take us to the ship. Didn't want to go to NY. The weather is still in the 80s here in the SE, so hopefully it will be a nice trip.

Have you tried facebook for tracking down your cousin?

Perhaps other relatives are on facebook who might be able to help (can sometimes be better to try younger relatives), or mutual friends? Or perhaps there are facebook groups based around the local area?

I know I am in a few of the 'nostalgia' type groups for various towns and I do sometimes see posts from people trying to re-connect with old friends/relatives.

I called a cousin to get the contact info. and his wife answered. I asked to talk to her husband and she said he died 4 years ago. What a shocker!
