    I was thinking about a pre- at first, and then thinking about a post-. May end up doing neither. I want to burn up some frequent flier miles for air, so that will have some impact. Also haven't quite figured out the transfers to/from London. With over a year to go, still lots of time.

    I lived in London a few centuries ago, although many of my brain cells from that era are faded.

    I think it will be a great cruise!

    There is always the Ritz, but back in those days it was more hostels and such for me when not in residence hall.

    I plan on Best Western Churchill in Dover the night before the cruise.

    For anyone interested in the Carnival Splendor, go to Zydo's website (in his signature), He is posting some fantastic pictures as he progresses through the inaugural cruise.

    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    I just read a review of the ship on CruiseCritic.com, and got a good description of the ship, plus some problem areas. The part that caught my attention at the start was the mention of a "hairly LEGS contest'. Later, in the article, they mentioned "hairy CHEST contest", which is one of the usual amusements of the week on Carnival!
