Back Home

Back Home
Well, it was a fantastic adventure that I will never forget. Thank you Mark and Richard for this wonderful Retirement Gift. You two are awesome and I will never forget the time I had.

Hope you all enjoy my blog. Thank you to Britt for setting up the Home page for me. I want to tell everyone that views this how to proceed to see it in order. Go to the Archive Section (June 32) and advance each day through the postings. Then, if you want you can go back and see the Older Posts that show what I sent from the ship.

Send me your comments. Hugs everyone. Carolyn, Mom, Bammy, Ween

As we docked at the pier in Southampton, the Grand Princess came past us and boy was I impressed. The trip to the airport was freeway all the way and I didn't get to see anything except Heathrow. I must get back to London. It is on my bucket list.

Melinda Lee had a Farewall Cocktail Party for her group. We had champagne, appetizers and said goodbye to all our friends. It was fun and she was wonderful.

Forgot to mention this was settled by the Cornish adventurers where they made a living (of course) selling fish.

I took an excursion bus through the magnificent countryside and seascape to a little fishing village first settled over 200 years ago. The streets were so narrow we had to park in a lot up the hill and take a shuttle into town. Very small vehicles could go through but I don't know why. We hardly had room to walk on the cobblestone streets alongside of them. It was so crowded. It was interesting but boy, do I like Balboa better. They should see that!!

I took an excursion bus to the Jameson Distillery just because a friend of mine wanted a special reserve only sold here. It was a really interesting tour and I did find just what I was looking for. Here is the entrance to the famous distillery started by John Jameson who was an Irish Sailor turned whiskey maker who became very, very wealthy as a result.
