Rare WesW Posted July 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2013 First up some pre-cruise reports. Ida and I are now enjoying our pre-cruise ritual, Champagne toast here in the Flagship lounge at Chicago O'hare airport, pls see: We arrive in London about 9 a.m, Monday. Will post more pictures of our London sites Monday and Tuesday. We can't wait to board the Cloud (our first time on a smaller Silversea ship) on Wednesday about noon or earlier :). Conte, really enjoyed the NYT article on Edinburgh thx again, Scotland--very helpful (with nice map of Edinburgh city) in planning our walking tour down the Royal Mile.

Rare RachelG Posted July 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Have a wonderful trip! George and I have done a similar itinerary on regent, and we really enjoyed it. We loved all those small ports in the British isles. Iceland is one of our favorite places as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosseauGirl Posted July 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Safe journey, enjoy your trip and pls post lots of pictures!! We will be boarding on Aug 4, if we can make it thru the horde of cyclists :D! Having only been on the Wind, I would be interested in your opinion of the smaller ships compared to the bigger ones. Have fun! Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farbster Posted July 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I wonder if you're optimistic about the short sleeves for the trip? Weather doesn't look so warm, but it is called Iceland. See you in a few days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
