Well ladies and gents the time has finally come . . . a transatlantic voyage! Yes, that is correct the QE2 will set sail today for New England on what will be our longest cruise yet. A total of 19 days, 8 of which will be in port including an overnight in Quebec City, Canada. However, first comes the transatlantic part. The ship spends 5 complete days at sea crossing the Atlantic and each day is 25 hours long. Every night at 2am our clocks retard one hour so that by the time we get to NY we will be on the correct time. It may sound cool now but that means 23 hour days on the trip back.
We will hit NY on the 16th and work our way up the coast to Rhode Island, Boston, Maine, Canada and Halifax. The next few days are going to be very interesting as the Atlantic can be a bit rough at times. To make things even more fun the navigator on the ship has already issued a heavy weather warning for the first two days at sea. That means hold on tight!
Well time to go. Next stop AMERICA!
