I'm thinking of including a trip to Venice, as well....especially after seeing Debbie's pictures, as well as Dani's when she visited and posted her photos! London can easily take 3 days unless you really want to knock youself out. The London Tower alone took up half a day and I had to leave before I was ready as I had plans to meet up with my brother and other family members. Venice is such a unique place on earth. You should definitely go. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't close to enough. We had 8 days total in the UK and I split them between London and Glasgow, 4 days each. I'm planning a big trip in 2026 for my 60 birthday hopefully full retirement. I'm hoping to do a TA with some time in the Uk and then follow it up with another week on a cruise out of Southhampton. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tour Europe I would suggest an absolute minimum of 3 nights for London and 2 nights for Venice. 2 nights for Barcelona and 3 nights for Rome. 3 nights for Paris. They are all wonderful cities. We stayed 3 nights in the London Ritz hotel 9 years ago for our 33rd wedding anniversary and 5 nights in Paris for our honeymoon in 1981.

I'm thinking of including a trip to Venice, as well....especially after seeing Debbie's pictures, as well as Dani's when she visited and posted her photos! I tend to agree with what OB, Dave, and Graham said about time to spend in London. There is so much to do and see. We were there three days, after a cruise from Southampton. You know that Susan and I are both big walkers, and we walked everywhere in London. I just looked back at the trip report I did, and we walked 20 miles our first day there. If you want to read about just the London part of the trip, it starts on page 10 of this link. Although this was four years ago, I recognize some familiar posters from Dani’s thread that followed along. One nice thing was we had a private tour post cruise with International Friends, that took us to Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, and Windsor Castle and dropped us at our hotel in London. Just these sites would take up a day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 6, 2023 #104961 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Stomach issues have returned. Severe cramping. Went to doctors and got same abdomen x-rays. He thinks I have a bad stomach virus. I was feeling better but ate a regular breakfast this morning and it blew up on me again. Not to be gross but we think my lymph nodes in my left side groin have gotten inflamed as that’s where it is most painful. No meds for a virus just rest and bland foods. I need for this to go sway I have a cruise in two weeks. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often times people start eating foods too soon after they start to feel better and things flair back up. You have to go slowly. And... lay off the Kraken.😉😇 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought I was getting over it and went back to regular breakfast and boy was that a mistake. One thing I did not realize is that there are lymph nodes in the groin area. Mine must be inflamed as they are really painful and swollen. The only thing that is helping is a heating pad on my stomach and left side groin area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
