Hi There. I'm new to this chatting, but have been following the thread about the Silver Moon and her progress around Africa. Firstly, can I say a big thank you to those who have taken the trouble to post updates and changes to the itinerary. We haven't been contacted directly by Silversea, but having spoken to my travel agent this morning, it would seem they will be getting in touch with those booked through them (Imagine Cruising) by Friday 26th January. They will be telling us about hotel arrangements etc.
I have to say I'm sorry for all these events. Me and my husband seem to attract difficulties with all our holidays. We had a recent trip to Israel/Egypt/Jordan and commented on how peaceful things felt, well that soon changed. We had a trip to South America and managed to get ourselves driven around by crooks who took £5K and my jewellery. The exploits of a Motorhome holiday in Northern France would make for a good comedy film, but difficult to live through at the time. My friends tend to avoid going places at the same time as us. So, to you all, I offer my sincere apologies, it is obviously all my fault!!
We have been on the Silver Moon previously, when she was brand spanking new. She is beautiful. On this trip though, we have only booked a Vista Suite. I am hoping that the accommodation they book for us in Mumbai is not on a scale of suite type, as we might end up in the YMCA, or in the room directly above the Night Club.
I'm sure whatever arrangements they put in place will be perfectly fine. I just really hope I don't miss out on my excursion to the Elephant Orphanage. That would be sad. Otherwise, it is a bit like a magical mystery tour and I'm really looking forward to chatting to you in person and hopefully raising a glass or two.
