European Adventure 2009-Part 1 - London
Friday, July 24 2009
My Mom and I started planning our annual cruise in January. We were up for doing something different, so instead of looking into the usual Caribbean/Bahamas/Bermuda thing we decided to extend our reach to Europe. Over the next few days, I’ll share some favorites from our adventure.
We flew out of Newark, New Jersey on Virgin Atlantic – this was my first time flying with this airline (more about that later) – to London Heathrow. We flew in a day and a half before our cruise departed Southampton to give us a chance to recover from the jetlag and see the sites of London. I was amazed that we were able to pack so much into basically one day. I’m sure that’s because we decided to take a tour. We went with Big Bus Tours which threw in a river cruise for free. Despite the off and on cloudy/rainy weather, we had a fabulous time.
Next up….Cherbourg, France!
