On the first day we all piled into a bus and went out to the great wall. One of the guests got completely lost. We all sat on the bus for about two hours while they tried to find him. Those two hours gave us great opportunity to bond and get to know each other. What an experience!
Even on the river boat we ran into a little trouble with fog and ended up spending an extra 24 hours stranded on the river. That just gave us extra time to get to know each other.
This time on the cruise it was so awesome to constantly, unexpectedly, run into people you knew. We all felt very connected to each other and it was like having friends pop up every where we went. It was wonderful.
I just wish I had been able to blog during this trip. The internet was pretty unpredictable. I will post pictures here now and then and I apologize to those that I emailed and am on facebook with...there will be doubles. But mostly I am going to be moving on now. Its time to whip the yard into shape, clean some more in the house, reconnect with distant family, lose some weight!! and get ready for the next trip in July. We are flying to Heathrow where we have arranged to be picked up and driven to Dover. We don't have much time between arrival and leaving on the ship.
This time we are on a small ship with Oceana...the Nautica. We are going up to the Shetlands, Pharoe, Iceland and Greenland. At the end of the cruise we are renting a car and driving around Ireland for a few days. Exciting!
I will be posting pics of the people we originally met on the river cruise periodically. I miss some of them alot. TTYL
