Today we are embarking on a journey that we’ve been planning for the past year. It’s not our usual last minute flying by the seat of our pants adventure. Or at least the major parts aren’t. Last August we called and talked with Kevin at Q Cruise Travel in Chicago to start the process. It’s been great working with him, he even called today to see if we had any last minute questions. We’ve parked our teardrop, Bell@ in Greg’s driveway for the duration and he drove us to the Amtrak station. We just boarded the Amtrak Vermonter a trip to New York City. We’re a bit behind schedule. Our train was scheduled to leave at 1:40PM but per the Amtrak app, there were unexpected staff changes so we’re actually departing now at 3:40PM. Now we’re exited to arrive at Penn Station about 7:45PM. It will be our first visit to the new Moynihan Train Hall. Then two nights in Manhattan before we set sail on Friday aboard the Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 bound for Southampton. We have lodging reserved for four weeks in London before embarking once again on the QM2 for our westbound voyage. We’ll actually be in London on to celebrate our Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary the end of this month! Hard to believe we’re actually on our way!
Congratulations on both your 50th anniversary & a fabulous couple of months. I love the QE2. I also love traveling by ship bc there’s not any jet lag. U loose or gain an hour every day r every other day! Enjoy!!!!!
Travel safe!
Bravo to you both. Enjoy my birth city and country. Be safe.

Have a great trip. I know you two have been locking forward to this cruise. I’ll still be hiking on the West Highland Way in Scotland when you arrive.
I guess you caught “Amanda Fever!” Lol!
We feel it coming on too! First symptoms – lots of internal butterflies, giggles and joyful anticipation!
