Hi All,Hopefully in the very early hours of tomorrow morning a car will arrive out side my home, and the start of another adventure will commence,as we head to airport and fly into Southampton a few hours before sailing, many will know we have taken a year off cruising to be with our new puppy, who is growing up fast, she along with Shogun have been collected by the pet sitter so are already on their holidays. I think there was a tear in DWs eye as she said good bye to puppy for the first time, or may relief as she is a very demanding dog requiring hugs constantly.
So we are joining our old friend the Ruby Princess out of Southampton heading back home, now some will ask why take a cruise back to your own home, we will be just 20 miles from home, or to ports you have visited before, well firstly a cruise is a cruise its time away from work which has been stressful recently court cases and all that.

But a cruise is like any holiday its what you put into it that ensures you are rewarded with a holiday you can recall many years from now.
One place I plan on visiting is Pegasus Bridge Normandy, those who can recall the movie The Longest Day will know what I am talking about.

So I will try and post most days from the ship, weather may be interesting as a low is moving south taking gale force winds from the artic so temperatures are going to fall sharply.
What will make a nice start to this holiday is a friend we have not seen for some time will board the Ruby and spent a little time with us before the ship sails,
As before any questions or information folks want please ask away and will try and find the answers for you.
Yours Shogun
