4. The Orkneys were close to the beginning of that trip but not all of it.

We took the Queen Elizabeth out of Fort Lauderdale, stopped in New York City for one day (American Museum of Natural History), Halifax Nova Scotia (bus tour), St. Johns, Newfoundland (bus tour), Iceland (Vigur Island for puffins), Rekjavik (boat tour to see puffins), got off early at Port Glasgow, Loch Lomond (too rainy and foggy to see across the loch), traveled through Northern Scotland, out to the Orkneys, down the east coast of Scotland to Hadrian's Wall, one day in the Lake District, back to the East coast of England, down to Dover (too rainy and foggy to see the White Cliffs), back to Bury St. Edmunds to join a needlework class and tour that ended in London, a week in London (British Museum, Victoria & Albert, and the Natural History Museum), off to Wales, from bottom to top and back, out the Cornish peninsula to Land's End, the Jurassic Coast, Stonehenge (slightly rainy and foggy), then to Southampton to get on a Royal Caribean ship that went to four islands in the Caribbean, and back to Fort Lauderdale.

It was the trip of a lifetime! With stopping to see my sister going and coming, we were away from home four months. I've got up to London on my blog and just have not been able to finish the trip. I'll probably get the pictures from the trip sorted and put into photo albums on my site with just captions rather than trying to write a narrative.
