Where we are on our trip
On our special day we wanted to pay our respects at Ground Zero. The last time I was in New York, in 1981, I met a friend for lunch at the restaurant at the top of the World Trade Centre. To see this site now it is hard to imagine that this is the same place. What the city and it’s people are doing here is truly inspirational.

Well we have now had nearly three full days in New York and they have been quite eventful as you will see. Before we start can I thank all of you who passed on good wishes for our 30th anniversary on the 26/7/2016, special mention to Pam and Steve who got a card to us!!

Our thoughts on crossing the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2, what a wonderful way to travel! Comfortable, civilised, no jet lag, what is not to like? We have seen pods of dolphins swimming alongside the ship, Mark spotted a whale (sorry Mia it disappeared to quickly to take a photograph) and we have marvelled at the mesmerizing ocean views which are truly breath-taking. What a fantastic way to start our trip.

Well with only two weeks to go it is getting pretty exciting. On Friday last week we heard from Cunard that we have been upgraded and now have a cabin with a balcony! This will make the trip even more special.
On Saturday our Audley paperwork arrived by special courier. It is all held in two Filofax folders and looks very professional.
So now its the time to start checking we have everything we need before the mass panic (or as Kim says, the orderly departure) next week.
