      I've been keeping an eye on Hurricane Idalia, so far it doesn't seem to affect this cruise. We're sailing on the Queen Elizabeth from Fort Ladeda, Fl. Sept. 5th to Bermuda, continuing to Funchal / Madeira, Portugal, Cadiz / Seville, Spain, Arriving Barcelona Spain 18 Sept. Will spend some time with some lovely friends in Barcelona, and in Madrid, and then fly home on the 24th. The Bermuda stop may be affected by the Hurricane. Pictures will have to wait until I return home, as the internet didn't work on the Queen Mary, and will probably not on this ship either.

                  We had a great trip. Returned home yesterday after a 5 hour delay At Dulles airport which wouldn't have been my choice, but booked through Cunard. I'll post a bunch of photos here, have a couple hundred to go through. First I'll start out with the ships photos. The ship is done in Art Deco, and nicely done.

                                            @ROman very nice shots, Sam. Thanks for sharing. Must have been a great trip.
                                            (I have memories to the Plaza Major as a backpacker in the late 80s, they involve a lot of beer)
