Yus - we land on the 26th at Southampton. But its a State Secret, so mums the word guys!! End of an era and the start of a new life for us - in Mallorca, in the company of many other Brits!! Oh well, nothing is forever and we have to adapt. Its the Spanish language that's going to be difficult. Neither do I speak German...........!!! Uh oh!!

I did write to RCCL and ask whether we could be invited to the launch of the Independence which takes place on the 26th in S'ampton. Surprise, surprise - no reply!!! Maybe its 'cos I also said that somewhere would have to be found to store our not inconsiderable amount of luggage, while it takes place.

Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained - can only ARRRRSK!!!!

Back on terra firma!!!! After 22 days I am not even rolling - feeling great!!

Super cruise - Brilliance is a lovely ship - food was good, as was entertainment. Met some nice people. According to reports, there is a whinging passenger on CruiseCritic running down the cruise. We will definitely have MyTime Dining next cruise.

Big drug smuggling ring busted - delayed 5 hours at Cristobel Pier while authorities investigated.

Knock-on effect,as customs were very vigilant at Southampton, causing massive queues. Usually, customs are invisible!!

All questions will be considered - not guaranteeing they will be answered

Hope you all behaved while I was suffering the hardship of cruisin'!!!
