of course one must add one of these to the 'bucket list' as a journey of a lifetime
Paris-Budapest-Bucharest-Istanbul Unfortunately, Scouse went off the idea when I told him he had to 'dress' for dinner. He's not fancy, but he's cheap :lol: |

You've hit our bucket list right on the head, this is something we've talked about doing for a long time!
Unfortunately, Scouse went off the idea when I told him he had to 'dress' for dinner. He's not fancy, but he's cheap :lol: The train from Lime St to Euston, Eurostar train to Paris, overnight in Paris. The Orient Express Paris to Istanbul, overnight in Istanbul, then a flight from Istanbul to Perth. Couple of days in Perth visiting relatives & friends, then boarding the Queen something or Princess xxx at Perth to Southampton, total journey is approx (on the cheap) its doable for ~$40k+ per person. By the end of the 80 days around the world you'd need a holiday..... Before one is a long time dead - the journey of a lifetime |
Re: QM2 booked....again!
We too are returning to the UK on the same voyage. 35 years in the USA and heading home.
See you in the Golden Lion :) |

Was thinking that if (if if if if if) the insurance thing is over by March, when QM2 is in Perth, it would be nice to go that way for a holiday. But then, we'd be away for yonks and it's hard to get a house and dog sitter for that amount of time (we wouldn't put Murphy in a kennel).

Re: QM2 booked....again!
So why the move? If you don't mind me asking!!
We moved back after 15 years in the US. Pop culture references were lost on us but after a year in the UK we were able to fill in the gaps :) I'm looking forward to going back. The panic move back to the US (after 18 months in the UK) has only solidified the fact that we want to live in the UK.....which is a lovely feeling!! |

Realizing that the UK has changed much since those bygone days it really will be like visiting a new country for us. |
