climbing the stairway to heaven.

We left God's waiting room this morning after catching the first half of the England rugby, and I was pleased to see, when we got to our San Fran hotel, that the chances they squandered did not cost them the game. All to play for next week then.

So then cruise has ended and we now have San Fran and New York before returning home on Friday. For all the highs and lows of the last two weeks, nothing could compare with SWMBO dragging me away from the stage as I went to volunteer as a standup comic in the passenger variety show.....I think I would have got a laugh but she disagreed! Funnily one of the acts was a blind chap from Cheshire telling jokes....exit signs, are they on the way out?

We have been out to see the St Patrick's Day parade this afternoon and we are shortly off to tour some old world architecture and some stunning hotel reception area's. Then it will be Guiness and steak before retiring. Our hotel restaurant is one of the best around and is a converted 1950's ballroom, so it should be good.

Trouser belt still on same notch so here's hoping it will survive another week!
