Almost there!

Well here we are with one more sleep to go!  There is much excitement in 3 different homes; my two sisters and their husbands, Lesley & Dave and Barbara & Russell and ourselves are embarking on a cruise of the Greek Islands aboard the Queen Elizabeth.   Our plans have been in the pipeline now for about 3 months and finally the day has arrived, well almost.  I've taken time out from the frantic packing to start this blog as there really will not be time later or tomorrow as we must be gone by 9 o'clock.  Isn't it amazing how everything can run quite smoothly until the last minute.  The sweet girlie at the bank was to order our euros yesterday (Monday) for Dave to collect this morning.  Yes you guessed it - she .... just..... forgot to put the order in!!!  So, they are ordered today for collection tomorrow when we would have liked to leave home by 8.30am.  Oh well, what can do!!

Anyway, here is a map our cruise will take.  We will fly aboard an Emirates flight to Dubai where we will spend about 4 hours waiting for our flight to Athens where we will spend the rest of Thursday and Thursday night, embarking the ship on Friday at 14.30.  I will try to write a brief account daily and post photos and  when we are back home, will put more detail.  You are welcome to visit anytime to see what we have been up to and where we are doing it!
