                    <title>MONET'S GARDENS</title>
                    <description>Ah the gardens. I have aways loved Monet and visiting his home in Giverney was one of my must dos. The ride took about 90 minutes and I saw the Seine for the first time as we crossed it. It is much wider than I pictured. Of course it would be but somehow I had imagined a quiet tranquil river. I probably sensed this from those Impressionist painting I saw. The village of Giverney is all about Mo</description>

                    <title>THE BEACHES</title>
                    <description>There is no way to describe today as a fun day but it was a wonderful day nonetheless. We started our day with a visit to Mer St Englis where the 82nd airborne parachuted into town. Unfortunately there was a fire in a house next to the church and all the civilians were manning the bucket brigade. That meant that the Germans were out in force monitoring the crowd. Two unfortunate men landed on the </description>

                    <title>PORTS OF CALL</title>
                    <description>Sad to say today is our last sea day. Tomorrow we begin exploring NE France. We are 127 nautical miles from St. Malo and arrive there early tomorrow morning. Today there will be the last Hold39em Tournaments the final Trivia game the 100000 bingo and a formal night. Yesterday I came in second in one Hold39em game and was first out in the next. My cold is breaking up but ML is now feeling</description>

                    <description>Bermuda  1 The Captain is trying to avoid a low pressure area heading down from Newfoundland so we are really running hot. To add to his challenges we are running on three engines since one went out on the previous voyage and is being repaired on the run. This means that there is a little vibration in our cabin but nothing to keep us awake at night. Our days fall into a kind of routine. Coffee an</description>

                    <description>A day in Bermuda The island is more developed but as beautiful as I remember. Although it was a bit cool the sun was warm and the skies clear. The sea had a slight chop. We sailed past the Navy Yard where the Norwegian Dawn and an RCL ship were docked and headed straight into Hamilton and docked at Front Street. Because we are a small ship we can dock in town. Otherwise we would have to take a fe</description>

                    <title>TRANSATLANTIC ADVENTURE</title>
                    <description>Have I mentioned that I love sea days Day one dawned with the most amazing sunrise I have ever seen. Our cabin is port side aft but I turned on the bow camera and there was the glory. I was a bit concerned that the skies appeared red and you know what that is supposed to mean but the seas were calm all day the temperature mild the sun warm and the breeze soft.At breakfast we chatted with a </description>

                    <description>Our ship arrived in the early dawn and we could keep an eye on her from the balcony. It had rained during the night but the sun was out though in the distance I could see a water spout and rain. We had a light breakfast and packed up. Things had to be rearranged because of the water we bought but finally we were packed up and ready to go. Gerry and Georgina stopped by to take pictures. They are a </description>

                    <title>TRANSATLANTIC ADVENTURE</title>
                    <description>After a typical SW flight smooth and comfortable I arrived at Ft. Lauderdale early and taxied to the Embassy Suites where I checked in and shown to a wonderful corner room on the top floor with a great view of the port. I39m thinking this is the best room in the house. I took a walk to Total Wine and picked up a bottle for our CruiseCritic wine tasting then headed to the terrace for the Manag</description>

                    <title>HIGHLAND THOUGHTS</title>
                    <description>Some final thoughts on our trip. While the scenery might have been better in the sun still the drizzle and mists are what I think of when I think of Scotland. Since it was lambing season we say lots of black faced babies gamboling in the meadow the ewes grazing or both just taking a little lie down. We say highland cattle horses with blankets on and some without gulls and oyster catchers and </description>

                    <title>HIGHLAND FLING  FINAL DAY</title>
                    <description>Believe it or not the sun came out and the wind died down. We slept in a bit and had a leisurely breakfast. Joe and I headed out to the Royal Mile this time towards the bottom and Holyrood Palace. This is where the Queen stays when she is in town. Though the original structure dates from the 120039s the palace we see today is due to the renovations under Charles II. Along the mile are the te</description>

                    <description>Our first full day in in the capital of Scotland was cool and drizzly with a sharp cold wind off the North Sea. We met our guide Gail in the lobby and headed out across the bridge from the New Town to the Royal Mile. The buildings here are about eight stories high and narrow mostly made of dark stone. There have been tenements here since the town was developed and though the buildings here are mo</description>

                    <description>Day 5  Inverness to Edinburgh Today we traveled south towards Edinburgh with plenty of stops along the way. On the way to our first stop we saw snow on the roadside and light flurries on the windshield not the king of weather we were hoping for. Dalwhinnie distillery is sited just below a small loch fed by a fresh water stream. The pristine water is used on the distillation process. The product </description>

                    <description>Day 3  Loch Ness Unfortunately our day of scenic touring turned out to be more like driving in the rain. We left Oban and traveled to the highlands visiting Lochs along the way. Made our way through Fort William and passed rugged and barren landscapes bordering misty lochs till one looked much like another. We paralleled the Caldonia Canal that connects Inverness to the sea at the time a engine</description>

                    <description>After a wonderful breakfast buffet we head our in our coach to explore Scotland. The days weather changed from sunshine to showers to heavy rain to sunshine or as Alistair told us all seasons in one day. There was new snow at the tops of the higher mountains or bens as they are knows here. The sun appeared at Lock Lomand so the pictures had a wonderful combination of grey skies with blue patche</description>

                    <description>Day 1  Glasgow Smooth quick flight through Dublin brought us to sunny Glasgow. Our coach dropped us off for a bit to grab a cup of coffee. Our hotel is located on the River Clyde and in the heart of the shopping and restaurant area. We found a small bookstore W that also served coffee and had coffee and scones sitting among a wonderful display of books from all over the world. Stopped at the AT</description>

                    <description>The Last DaysOn Wednesday we arrived at Hobart Tasmania to temperatures of 50 degrees at 300 p.m. Our plan was to go to an animal reserve and feed the animals and see the nocturnal animals active. The temperature was expected to go down to 40 and neither of us had heavy sweaters or jackets. We decided to skip the tour and spend our last three days on board. These were lazy days as not much was g</description>

She met us at the information center with a Tassie bag with little treats a furry platypus a picture album and more. She is a local lady who retired from financial planning and now takes out folks from cruise ships or corporate visitors to the Caterpillar facility. We were her first </description>

New South Wales and Victoria do not permit visitors to hold a koala and we had to miss Brisbane in Queensland while MaryLou recovered so here in South Australia would be the last chance. The ships outing to Cleland was filled and cost 179 pp so we decided to go out o</description>

                    <description>The sea days passed too quickly. We slept in and enjoyed what the ship had to offer. There are no poker players on this leg but the lecturer is very good and his specialty is coral reefs and the animals that live there. We read and enjoy bingo or trivia and stayed up late for the Black  White Ball. Here in the Crows Nest the officers are available to dance with the Ladies and random prizes are</description>
