6 Week Holiday Comes to an End

At 1:45am today, Bill and Deb arrived home with all bags intact and no bad experiences.  6 weeks away and only three days that were wet and these were just and only wet.  We can't believe our luck.  Off to bed now for a few hours sleep and then it is over to Auntie Daphne's to pick up some very excited children who have missed their Mum and Dad badly.  They do love us after all.

The happy travellers arrive home - pity about the security guard pipping us for taking a photo in customs.

LGDM Comes to an End - Cruise Into Venus

As the sun rises over a sleepy Venice, this marks the end of the Ledger, Grant, Dolan and Musson (LGDM) Mediterranean Cruise.  It has been an absolute holiday of a lifetime with great scenery, history, shopping, fun and laughter on one of the best ships in the world.  It is just hard to describe how good it was.  Thanks to all who have made this such a good time for the Ledgers before and during the cruise.  It has just been great!

LGDM Comes to an End

As the sun rises while cruising into Venus it unfortunately signals the end of a most fantastic 12 days with the Grants, Dolans & Mussons as well as 4 weeks visiting England, Belgium and Switzerland for the Ledgers.  Thanks to all who have made it one of the holidays of a lifetime.

Unfortunately blog updates have been difficult but they will be brought up to date soon.  Until then, we say farewell.
