Drive to Southampton on Saturday ready to board on Sunday - yippee

Will be going on the northern lights trip in Tromso. Hopefully meet up. Will be driving down on Saturday.

Hi Educator69 I downloaded a booklet on Northern Lights Photography...capturetheatlas.com

Pete it is raining here today Monday and snow forecast for for Tuesday

Hi Selbourne and Presto2 seeing the Northern Lights is hit and miss all dependent on the weather and solar activity. This year has so far been good - hence views in the UK, and the eleven cycle of sun activity I believe is due up to end 2025. Will be off on Aurora soon for Christmas to Norway so planning to get to see them. Last saw them in March 2019.

Play there with our senior section really nice course

Hi Pete at the moment I am a member at porthmadog as we have a caravan there. I may look to join Trentham Park when we decide to get rid of the caravan.

Hi Pete yes I always check who makes the tableware. First cruise on Ventura we went in the Epicurean and was disappointed to see it was Villeroy and Boch. Having worked in the industry for 45 years - a company who supplied materials etc, it was interesting and very changeable. Glad to be retired now to enjoy the golf and cruising.

Adult only ship so wondering if Santa will be there 😂

Just looking forward to Christmas Dinner on Aurora as we sail out of Alta on Dec 25th.

Hi Mercury 7289 we had same situation on Arcadia when we went to Canada and USA last September. Same on QM2 in June this year to Italy. Will be interesting to see when we gon Aurora on Dec 16, to Norway.

Hi Pete I noticed how close the airport is to where the ship is docked. Amazing how with all that snow they keep the airport open - unlike in the UK.

Great photos Pete, can't wait for our trip in December. The drive down to Southampton on the previous day is the start of the holiday. Stay in a great b&b, across to the pub for a drink and and meal, then good night sleep. Then a hearty breakfast before they take us to the port, knowing the car is there safe a secure while away.

Hi Pete14 great photos

No problem Educator69 ensure you use a tripod. Depending on type of lens determines the iso, can go as high as 1600 - 3200 but need to reduce shutter time.
