It is a n absolutely beautiful country and I know we would certainly jump at a chance to go back there again and see even more of the country. I am glad that we have at least been. I can't see them stopping tourism there but maybe they could put a limit on the amount of people that come through, I guess only time will tell.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68961444554313746432016-09-03T09:20:19.185-04:002016-09-03T09:20:19.185-04:00One day we will do something like that! :-)One day we will do something like that! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-49872194894909727512016-09-03T09:14:40.977-04:002016-09-03T09:14:40.977-04:00Thank you Debbie!

And we will, some day, it just hasn't worked out with the timing yet. And I've seen them at prices of under $40 a day including meals. Yes, you still have to add taxes and gratuities, but it's still good value if you're getting somewhere you wanted to go.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-26190657055916384402016-09-02T19:56:29.203-04:002016-09-02T19:56:29.203-04:00Icelanders are actually taking to their streets to...Icelanders are actually taking to their streets to stop tourism. On PBS News hour this week, Iceland has become a major tourist destination. They claim they don't have the infrastructure to handle the influx and renters are being kicked out to make way for AirBNBs. They feel their country will be destroyed or better is to rent out their homes and change countries. living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72604825014010367322016-09-02T18:20:21.339-04:002016-09-02T18:20:21.339-04:00oops!

Right now on the Queen Mary II between Brooklyn, NY and Southhampton, England, there is a $549 rate per person for seven nights for an inside cabin and giving you a $150 onboard credit. This is for the date of January 3, 2017. Of course, I'm sure you need to add $130 per cabin for taxes, so that is $65 per person for taxes. Not bad for transportation, maid service, food, and entertainment all the way to the UK. <br /><br />Dee Tillotson<br />Summerville, SC<br />Dee Tillotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602508098099644096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-59298408729575134172016-09-02T13:35:01.817-04:002016-09-02T13:35:01.817-04:00Wow, your patience sure paid off!

I keep looking for something late Spring but it is a little early to see anything yet. We are just too busy this fall with our business to get away any sooner other than our planned short weekend away in October (with wifi so we can still work if we absolutely have to).Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
