hello from the uk.............manchester !!!!! ( lulu )

The weather in Fort Lauderdale has been great just windy. I think it was supposed to storm today. I flew back to NY yesterday and it was only 59degrees F. brrr

My youngest daughter met some very nice people from Manchester working in a camp for people with disabilities in Connecticut. She wants to take a trip there sometime in the future so I will have to start lurking on that board. We also have a family friends whose daughter is going to Manchester for a year to teach Lacrosse.

Hope you enjoy your planning your cruise.

Choc!! Welcome back!! Get yourself over here!!!

What excatly constitutes a ';heat wave'; where you are???

We are sipping a merlot as I speak so cheers!!

Pat, what if anything did your son have to say about the bringing booze onboard policies on RCCL? Choc- we have had several incidents of very inebriated cruisers falling overboard and some cruise lines are now restricting what patrons can bring on board personally to drink in their cabin. Holland America will only permit wine, beer and soft drinks I believe , no spirits. They claim it is a passenger safety issue- I think we all see dollar signs as a big part of their ';concern';. Trying to get a handle on the cruiseline policies so we can best warn people who ask where they can purchase before boarding- some people on cruisecritic.com have complained that booze was removed from carry on and/or checked luggage- trying to see how widespread that is..

We are leaving Sunday for a week in the Grand Tetons/Yellowstone Park in Wyoming- I can%26#39;t wait- should be nice and cool and lots of wildlife- we had several moose sitting in the parking lot of our lodge when we were there last- of course that was 20 years ago- even though I can%26#39;t believe it has been that long!

Keep looking for a good cruise Choc- we%26#39;ll keep the light on for you!
