The 50th Anniversary Trip

[VK3DQ]

Hi Folks

 

 

28th September 2018 will mean that my Wife Jean and I will have been married for 50 years :D

 

So I must treat her to something special !

 

Must included a Stay in Funchal Madeira ..

 

My thoughts so far

 

MEL -DBX -LHR

 

Asmara Journey Monday 10th September 2018- London (Pool Of London ) --21/09/2018 Lisbon

 

21/09/2018 LIS--FNC approx 14 days Stay

 

FNC -LIS -DBX -MEL

 

 

So the question is how can we get rid of some of the flights can we convert some of them into sea travel ?? or if not some stopover suggestions in Lisbon a visit to Fundacao Amalia Rodrigues Casa Museu is mandatory :o

 

 

Help me fill in the blanks

 

Regards

VKG to VKC...Hi John, we did Canary Islands/Atlantic Islands, including Madiera last Oct/Nov on Oriana ex Southampton. Very nice, cheaper than Azamara.

 

As for sea travel instead of aircraft to/from Europe. Wrong time of year I reckon. The British ships, P&O/Cunard come out earlier in the year on their world cruises and the Princess world cruises ex Sydney, go in May and come back in August. Mate, lash out and go business class, most planes in business have the flat beds these days, you can sleep all the way !!

 

As Uncle Les says...'Above all, enjoy. !!'

Wow 48 years on Wednesday congratulations, doubt Mrs Gut will put up with me that long.

 

I hope you find the perfect cruise to celebrate.

Hi, my wife Jeanie and I are taking a Viking river cruise, 22 day from Amsterdam to Bucharest for our 50th, I booked a suite and we are flying business class both ways it's this coming April. It's costing us around 27k, but as they say you can't take it with you! Enjoy your trip we were married on April 16th 1967. Jeanie was 19 I was 21.

Well done John, it certainly is a mile stone.:D

We've celebraed our Diamond (60th) anniversary on 8th September,sailing on Pacific Jewel. Booked a celebration package at Salt restaurant but not all went exactly to plan as Julie was confined to her cabin with gastro on that special day :( However, managed to delay our celebration for a couple of days, so still enjoyed the champagne and tender steaks.
