Southampton, England

Well, I made it to England and relatively smoothly. A big bonus on the flight, I ended up with a row all to my self, how often does that happen and perfect for sleeping.  When I arrived at the airport in London,  I was met by my friend Julie (from my Spring 96 voyage), I am excited to be sailing with her and four other 96 friends.  Her sister-in-law is from London and was kind enough to pick us both up and drive us the hour to Southampton.

W are spending two nights at a hotel here to do some training before getting on the ship on Sunday.  The students get on board Monday.  Tonight we had a reception to meet faculty and staff and families.  There are about 40 staff/faculty.  Afterward, we went out to dinner at a Greek restaurant in old town Southampton, next to a fort, are you reading Andy?  Now it's time to catch some zzz's.
