On the Queen Mary at last.....

After we left Margaret, we drove to Southampton where
we had considerable difficulty in locating a gas
station and the Alamo/Europcar rental office.
We were dismayed to learn that had no shuttle to
the harbor.  A young British fellow told us it was only
a 10 minute walk, but Brits say that for walks of
5 to 10 miles.  So, we dropped Sharon and Cheryl at
the dock and returned 1.6 miles to Alamo.
There, we were able to share a cab with
an American couple.  

Cheryl and Margaret say goodbye as we
leave her house in South Wonston, a village by
Winchester.

Once we were aboard, we soon headed for the buffet area for drinks.

At last we are aboard!

      I am having some trouble with getting the script aligned with the pictures, and it is costing 40 cents per minute to use the computer, plus the pictures won't download as before, plus this internet connection is as slow as molasses, so I may have limited pictures to post and their order

is all messed up.  Sorry!  This is very frustrating!

The hallway outside our cabin is very narrow and very long.

Fresh flowers were on display every day/

This hot tub and nearby pool were in a covered area so fun
 need not be interrupted by bad weather.

This is one of the hot tubs on board.  There were also several pools.
