I remember it well Hello mother, hello father Here I am at Camp Granada Camp is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining I went hiking with Joe Spivey He developed poison ivy You remember Lennard Skinard He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner All the counselors hate the waiters And the lake has alligators And the head coach wants no sissies So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses' No, I don't want this should scare ya But my bunkmate has malaria You remember Jeffrey Hardy They're about to organize a searching party Take me home, oh mother, father Take me home, I hate Granada Don't leave me out in the forest Where I might get eaten by a bear Take me home, I promise I will not make noise Or mess the house with other boys Oh, please don't make me stay I've been here one whole day Dearest father, darling mother How's my precious little brother Let me come home if you miss me I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me Wait a minute, it stopped hailing Guys are swimming, guys are sailing Playing baseball, gee that's better Mother, father, kindly disregard this letter Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Allan Sherman Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh! lyrics © Curtain Call Productions 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very enjoyable. I don't know why Arvia gets so many bad reviews. Food, cleanliness, passage cabin, staff, Holiday App and a fair amount of the entertainment we're all good. Sorry your cabin attendant was not up to it. Very happy on Arvia again before long. We thought Arvia was brilliant. Everything except the beef bucco in Olive Grove. Very fatty, but the lamb shank terrine was very good. Apart from that brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of my favourite things, Alaska and the Queen Elizabeth. I loved the atmosphere on QE, not stuffy at all, We had real fun. We used to laugh looking in Queens in the morning when they were doing their exercises, scruffy lot😂 After that we got chairs out and did some chair exercises . Then in the evening it was a gorgeous ballroom and everyone was scrubbed up. We really enjoyed her and her impeccable service. Aren't the icebergs unbelievable close up. Enjoy every minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted June 4 #59184 Share Posted June 4 We're home, that was a bit of a drag, our flight to Manchester from Munich changed to Gatwick then an option of stay in Radisson and bus to Manchester next day or bus straight to Manchester. We took plan B as it is Mrs YP big, big big birthday today and she wasn't over keen on wasting it. All in all we enjoyed the cruise, loved Vienna and got to meet Brian and Marilyn @brian1 and had some cracking weather before getting to Germany. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
