Just for curiosity, does the link to the Radiance work?

Bob, I think that is a peculiarity with Firefox. It seems to convert it to a link name that makes sense rather than a lot of letters. The Radiance link doesn't work either. I'll do a Google search to find out if there is anything I am missing.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! I have a feeling it is to do with my IP address in the UK, Bob as you mentioned. I went in using one of those IP hiding websites and it worked, so I must save that for future. Thanks for your help here

That's good, Phil. It's interesting that it worked and then stopped. I may go to my site hosting company (since they are only about 2 miles away) and ask about that. I wonder if they changed anything. I mean, it is called the World Wide Web. Isn't the UK part of the world?

Well you'd think so wouldn't you Bob and I've never been described as out of this world!

Hello, All,

Seems to be a lot of craziness going around. At least, Bob, your links to the cruises are working for me.

Welcome to Patti and Charles. This is a great group to be cruising with. Check out the links to this cruise at the bottom of any posts by bob278 or gkm to get a feel for the folks on this cruise (unless you're sharing the internet problems excitedofharpenden seems to be having).

Check this out!! Anne and I just came back from a driving trip down to Fla and back. In St. Augustine, we stayed in a bed and breakfast on the bay called the Casablanca Inn. At the Casablanca they have a little martini bar called the Tini Martini and the sign ove the door reads Martini Lounge. Eerie considering we're going to Casablanca and will definately spend time in the Martini Bar. It would have made Mr. Martini, aka gadgetguru, right at home.

We finally changed our flights and will arrive in Barcelona on the 5th. We found Aer Lingus tix for $405 each from JFK so we're pretty happy. Now we just have to worry about leaving our car in NJ to go home and getting to JFK from there.

Later,
Rick

Rick, Bob and I are thrilled you're coming to Barcelona early. I bet we can find some mischief to get into (maybe even some sangria).

When you look at the parking fees for that long, we have found that renting a car is cost-effective. Have you considered doing that?

Love that sangria. Last year in Cadiz, Anne and I had to take an emergency sangria break so she could use the rest room at the bistro.

We have usually rented a car to drive back to Philly from Bayonne, but I haven't thought that through since we'd be leaving from and arriving back to the NYC area. May be that renting a car both ways will still be a good idea. I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for the thought.
Rick

Wow, I can't believe there haven't been any posts here since Feb. 27 (which by the way was Bob and my 43rd anniversary). How is everyone doing?
