It is interesting to see the effect I have on people. But yep, I look forward to our next visit, whether that be in the US, Europe or Asia.

At least it cheered one of my direct reports up that as I say, she felt obliged to buy me champagne and cheese.

Like I say, in other assignments, we could of spoken of child abuse or end of life support for the elderly.

Besides, as you know, I wait with baited breathe to watch what happens as the UK elections unfold. I just pray those cons do not win, otherwise I may have to find another left wing refuge to go to.

However, closer to home, I am sure the Witches could hook you up, they seem to love the Kremes.

In all seriousness, there are some good trade options for your DVC points into so very good UK hotels.

And I can also recommend a great touring service as well. It's extremely exclusive and run by a dude with the same name as yours! (he doesn't wear tiaras however)<<< Ah, but the quality justifies the price. As for that service, tiaras are used on one of the other tours. Umbrellas and tiaras are hardly every linked together. They are reserved for the non cultural events, like a trip to the MK.

Provided the cruise is seven days or more. I really need 9-10. But you can do as much or as little as you like. You can be on the go, or simply relax and be pampered day and night. And DCL is still a very high quality product. Not a premium brand, but top of that next class along with Celebrity and Princess<<< I'll go...one day. I don't want to be pampered on vacation. I want to explore.

Nope ... not happy at all. << I just heard about the merger last night, but I didn't here who it was with. I am way behind on my reading with baseball season here. Continental is a really good airline. I would hate to see that change.
