Yes weather forecast looks good for Friday and most of Saturday.

Rob reminded me that on Saturday we must be at the Crowne Plaza before 8.30 am as we will be leaving sharp at 8.30 am to go to the ship.

Hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the ship visit to Queen Victoria. And for those of us back at home, do keep us updated and how about a group photo showing you all on Queen Victoria !

Happy Travels

Is the big red striped funnel stirring any emotions?

[June Ingram]

Thank you very much for the photos - please keep them coming.  Yes, big red striped funnel always draws emotions.  I imagine it must definitely be more so seeing it in person.

The June calendar wallpaper should stir memories of QE2 in Liverpool too!

What a lovely surprise to get a beautiful bouquet of flowers to thank me for the organising of the get together. Thank you so much I am so grateful and I love flowers.

Photos when I get back home.

Need you ask Rob, but as pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this Vista mark II looks I'm constantly reminded of my last Liverpool visit back in 1990 onboard QE2.

Oh how I wish that was the ship I was gazing upon. Still, brilliant to be back in this wonderful city, she has changed so much but in a stunning way.

Now why didn't I think of that!

Looking forward to seeing you all in the morning.  I've resisted posting the pictures as I don't want to spoil the Cunard building visit, but, I've seen some pictures of others who have had a look round and it looks amazing.  Also looking forward to finally meeting the legend that is flagship in the flesh!
