I too hope all things come together nicely for you in England, Enjoy yourself.

Tomorrow and for the rest of the week I will think of you when I have my cup of PG Tips.
Agreed, much nicer than an airplane ride. Have a beautiful cruise, the love boat!!!! See it as a second honeymoon, after all, you are starting a new life together - again!!

Awww, ED, that was so lovely. Thank you! If we get up to your neck of the woods, it would be lovely to have a cuppa together! Take care!

But when you arrive in Southampton I hope both your faces light up with happiness and Joy just knowing that you are about to start the biggest adventure of your lives,

Dont worry about eating too much on board cause you can always shred those pounds later in England, just enjoy your wonderful six days aboard the QE2

I will be looking forward to seeing your first post from the other side of the pond, cheers to both of you I hope all your hopes and dreams come true,
Rodney.


Rodney, thank you so much for ALL your support and encouragement. You are an EXPERT at encouragement and you really helped me feel that we were doing the right thing! Thank you, my friend, and now the countdown is on for you! Cheerio for now!

Thanks for that and you are so right - it's going to be soooo much better than flying coach! Enjoy that PG ... we've been out now for 2 days and I'm having tea withdrawal! Good thing that Cunard's an English liner with plenty of TEA! Take care!

Well, okay folks ... it's almost 11pm Saturday night and we've said our good-byes (a bit more difficult than I imagined) and we're now ready to unplug this computer, pack it in the suitcase, and start a new life.

THANK YOU everyone for your friendship, advice, suggestions, encouragement, support ... and WISDOM.

I can't wait to give you an update and I promise to give the good with the bad - for that is the reality of life, isn't it?

Take care and keep the kettle warm.

Alright I dont know whether I want to laugh or cry. I imagine myself on the dock waving goodbye to DDL, my hanky blowing in the wind till the ship moves out of sight. Wishing I was on board... my heart is happy for them but oh so sad for me
