@Heartgrove Jack....I would love to go back there too....the World Cruise stopped there a few years ago...I really should have taken that leg of the trip....!! On January 3, 1947....my Mom and I boarded the USS Lejeune in San Francisco...to take us to Guam....where my Dad...a US Navy Seabee had served during WWII and was still there... Those with family were given a quonset shell...if they could make it "liveable" and pass inspection...then we could join him. We spent one year there and loved it...:)- 73 replies

Cabin fever on return leg from Hawaii?
Rowsby replied to Petronillus's topic in Holland America Line
I've been on this cruise twice....and I love sea days....!! There is entertainment and anticipation going to Hawaii on the first set of sea days.....and total relaxation coming back..... I would think that only those diehard "port-loving" folks would have a problem....😉 -

Rowsby replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
When are you going....are you staying in the London area...or elsewhere....?? I haven't purchased my flights yet...because I wasn't sure about the return date... I am spending the first 3 weeks at the dorm in London...and planned on the longer train trips during a 2 week period after......it might make more sense to fly into Heathrow and come back from Edinburgh...staying as far away from London as possible and returning before May 6th.... I've tried to "google" what coronation celebrations will be held in other areas of the UK....but so far there isn't much published information......- 84 replies

I will be staying at Passfield Hall, 1-7 Endsleigh Place...where I spent 3 weeks in 2017. Even tho I was doing genealogical research at the libraries and archives....I loved meeting and visiting with the other traveler's staying there every morning for our full English breakfast....it was a great way to start the day....🙂- 84 replies

THIS is a hoot.....I belong to MyHeritage and they offered a free photo feature...I had to download 10 photos of myself (had to even go back to 2015 to find that many)...and they arrange them in what you would look like back in history.....this is my Saxon image.........😅 A few weeks ago...I booked 3 weeks at a university dorm (London School of Economics) during their long spring break in April. I had intended on booking the whole month...but the last week wasn't available....which I thought was odd...as I was one of the first to make reservations.... Well....now I know why........the Coronation is May 6th........... I planned to extend my stay another 2 weeks and travel to other parts of the UK...including Scotland and Wales.....now I'm wondering about the availability of lodging and if the whole of the UK will be crushingly full....does anyone have a clue.......????- 84 replies
