Tabber, Thank you so much! I'm sorry you can't travel more if that's what you love to do. And concerts, oh my goodness, I love them ,too! A few of the best concerts I've seen are K. D. Lang, she literally sent chills up our spines with her voice. And John Fogerty, originally of Creedance Clearwater Revival, outdoor ampi-theater, fantastic. Also, Steely Dan, one of my favorites bands ever. Always thought them to be just a studio band but they were excellent live! As well as Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers. He played the same show as Steely Dan. Excellent show. Any plans to attend any shows soon? Are you a musician? :-}

Couple years ago when we went, seals were being born on the ice flows. The glaciers had a deep blue color at base. I really recommend the cruise to inside passage. Went on norweigan cruise line.

We live in Australia. We've been to England a few times. My mother's sisters live in Yorkshire. More relatives in London. No one in Italy, never been there.

commented 12 years ago

Good on you Eggy, be bit chilly in Yorkshire in particular and London not much better Italy not too bad.
Love Yorkshire, the moors (hope you see the moors ponies I did)York itself, Whitby (Heartbeat country)
Not a great fan of Italy full of tourists in the main centres.
Rome to me is dreadfully overated, full of vendors selling junk probably made in China, yuk! Dam near shove it in your bag for you even thiugh you politely say "No thank you"
Be careful not to take anything in your hand as they will refuse to take it back and insist "You pay" This happened to one of my daughters but her husband in good Aussie fashion told the vendor to "F... off"
Another ruse is to offer to take your photo using your camera then try to charge you for so doing BEFORE they hand your camera back.
As far as the Vatican is concerned I felt it was obscene that all the millions of Euro was for one man. Could feed the worlds starving for ever.

Depending on how things go with the wife (not doing well right now, but I'm praying). The plan is to go out to Arizona and possibly buy some property and build on it. Have to do some research on weather and so on.

Didn`t realise you are a Aussie lambshank.
Depending on your age you may remember speed boat races on the river at Windsor, mate and I used to go every meet there and at Liverpool.
This was late 40s and early 50s.

Barra do not contact ROMOS on your trip he will end up getting you in the clink.
