We are still under a flood watch thru tomorrow with a few roads closed due to high water. We were able to walk to this part of the campground, but water level is up another 1 foot + this morning, so the access road we used to get to this point would be under water this morning. Our water levels are up, since they are trying to reduce the amount of water reaching Pittsburgh. Sorry to read about the flooding 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 14 #119352 Share Posted April 14 Well, my plans to spend the day walking Stanley Park have changed….instead of arriving Vancouver tomorrow morning, I will be (hopefully) arriving 11hrs later due to “operational issues”At least DH & I don’t have to get up before dawn tomorrow morning and there is now a strong possibility that the “kids” can meet me at the airport when I arrive. Time to put that koala onesie back into my carryon and embarrass the heck out of my kids - with my 🐨 hugs at the airport. 12 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to wonder if it wasn't more of a show of look what we could do if we want to. They are also using relatively inexpensive drones to deplete a stock of relatively expensive missiles to shoot them down. I'd like to think that they are not dumb enough to start WW III. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 14 #119357 Share Posted April 14 Well, this Aussie koala will definitely be doing the full Love Actually Airport scene - flight has been pushed back a further 1 1/2hrs.

I've found the process of booking reserved seats very user friendly and convenient (and, of course, when we cancelled due Covid, we were immediately reimbursed). I've made a mock booking for July 11.... https://book.nationalexpress.com/coach/#/choose-journey?journeyType=single&departureStopId=57020&destinationStopId=65136&departureDate=11%2F07%2F2024&departArrive=DepartAfter&outboundTime=00:00&returnDate=11%2F07%2F2024&departArriveReturn=DepartAfter&returnTime=00:00&adults=1&children=0&infants=0&euroAdults=1&euroChildren=0&euroSixtyPlus=0&euroInfants=0&ouiAdults=1&ouiChildren=0&usingCoachCard=false&youngPersonCards=0&seniorCards=0&disabledCards=0&partnerId=NX&campaignId=DEFAULT&request_locale=en&numResults=4 Thanks I will most likely do the bus rather than lugging suitcases on train.

We boarded the bus at our arrival terminal in a shaded area with seating. There were taxis waiting at the Southampton bus terminal. I made the mistake, or maybe not, of booking a Hilton that was not too close to city center. One day , we took the bus to Winchester.

I will need to figure out how to get from Southampton to downtown London. We’ll have too many bags I think to take a train. We actually will get off in Portsmouth, then I want to spend a couple of nights there or Southampton, taking the train to bath and maybe Cotswold? Then we’ll spend a week in London before flying home. We’ll skip Stonehenge but will do a day trip out to Windsor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highclere Castle home of Downton Abbey is at Newbury about 35 miles North of Southampton. It is best to pre-book online.

We booked a post cruise tour with them that took us from the ship and dropped us at our hotel in London. It included stops at Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Windsor. It was a small, 15 passenger van, but I think we only had 8 people which was nice. You may be able to coordinate a pickup with them. They do have stops at some of the places you list. This is their current pricing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
