Update

We are now at home. I did not do any posts after we left London because I no longer had free internet.
London weather was not cooperative. We made the best we could of it and managed to see several places
we wanted to. I got drowned going to the Royal Coach museum. A new rain jacket is a must.

The "crossing" on the Queen Mary II was very nice although the weather was quite cold. We had
several interesting speakers. Two of them gave presentations on broadway musicals and early musical
films. P.D. James (age 91) was very good.  We enjoyed  2 shows at the planetarium. From all I had heard
I had expected the QM II crossing to be a little more elegant than other cruises but other than  3 formal
nights and 2 semi formals, it was pretty much like other cruises.

We enjoyed the train and much to my surprise I ran into my nephew Alan. He and his wife had been to
N.Y. to leave their daughter for a 2 week ballet program.

I have finally downloaded the pictures from the game preserve which had to be restored. I will be posting
them soon. Bear with me if I do not correctly identify some of the animals. Most are obvious, but a couple
are difficult.
