EZAir is much better (so far). I can change flights without having to call Princess and have more flight options.

........and usually at a better cost.

Well, it's T Day. Another site to check -

https://nasstatus.faa.gov/

 

It seems there is a Groundstop due to thunderstorms at DFW until 10:!5am with about a 50% chance it will be extended.

 

Nothing I can do about that, so try to keep on plan unless forced to change.

[BlerkOne]

I see the flight from London to Dallas has left, so that's good. I think that plane just flies back and forth so should be the one will be on later.

 

Our flight into DFW is showing delayed, but if it goes, we should be okay.

 

Almost caffeinated enough to get out in the rain and finish up all the last minute stuff.

good luck, as your journey begins. looking forward to following the journey. why the memberships? I have never considered this, when you have a minute I would appreciate your insight. we are considering this cruise in summer 23.

Unlimited entrance into any site we are likely to visit. Many still will want reservations, but do allow walk ins subject to capacity control.

 

If you visit a few locations, you likely cover the cost of the membership. Plus in these times, they can use the money. I admit I went overboard and if you are a better planner, you might add up what the various admission fees are for where you are going, to decide if worthwhile for you.

Made it to Southampton! I stopped posting so I didn't jinx us anymore. You can read about some of it here:

 

 

[BlerkOne]

We arrived later than we were supposed to, so we skipped our planned excursion to Hampton Court Palace on the way to Southampton was scrapped and we just went directly to the Holiday Inn which seems nice enough..

 

Our driver, Eddie, who turns out to be the owner of the Eddie Manning's transfer was very nice and pleasant and didn't charge us the full agreed upon amount since tour was a bust We are going to use him for our transfer after the cruise.

and I think when we return in November.

Kind of sleep deprived at the moment, so things are going to just ramble on.
