Coming Up…

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UKLeave a comment

I mean, is it just me or is this year going INCREDIBLY quickly?   Due to changes in our holiday allocation at work, our holiday schedule has been slightly curtailed this year – and we have already completed the majority of our visits for this year.

But don’t panic, because we’ve still got a few surprises to come before its time to start planning next year.

We just arrived back from Mexico for the second time in two years so I’ve got to finish off our review and finishing compiling the video which will complement the blog post on our youtube channel, which of course you are subscribing to – aren’t you???  If not, you can find it here.

Coming soon, our grandchildren take Sue for her first visit to Harry Potter World (Hmmm, I’m sure it should be the other way around).

And last but not least, we are off to visit the beautiful and hopefully warm island of Ibiza – it’s our first time here except for a day in Ibiza Old Town while on one of our many cruises.   As all of our impressions of Ibiza revolve around the much publicised bar scene, it will be interesting to see if there is a different side of the island suitable to those whose raving days are well behind them.

So, I hope you have enjoyed our updates so far, I hope you enjoying the gorgeous UK summer we have at the moment, and we both hope you’ll come back soon and keep visiting our blog and youtbe channel.   And don’t forget, you can find us on twitter and facebook too.

See you soon!

 

Are you missing out?

I hope by now you’ve realised we have a youtube channel which we intend to fill with reviews and other information gathered as we travel around the world.

But have you subscribed yet?   Subscribing to our channel will ensure you don’t miss out again when we post new features. You can find it here.

Go on, press the big red subscribe button which you can find top right on our channel page – you know it make sense!

Brace yourself. Part three is nearly here.

Yes, that’s part three of our Independence of the Seas Mediterranean Tour 2017 video diary.

It’s a bit of a ‘chimichanga’ of all of the clips which aren’t in the other two parts, and I’m hoping it gives a bit of a taste of life on board a cruise ship.  It’s fair to say it only scratches the surface – it is missing lots of deck and onboard activities, parties on the promenade, boozing in the bars, live music and a lot more.   That’s what happens when you go to bed at nine in the evening I suppose.  But then again it’s impossible to be everywhere at once.

Unfortunately I couldn’t persuade my partner in crime to join me on the video. Maybe next time.  Or maybe I will have to change the name of our blog!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it enough to click “like” !

Part 2 – The wait is (nearly!) over

Honestly!   This “vlogging” will be the death of me!

No matter how much I think I’m on top of it all, the job just gets bigger and bigger as I become more picky and adventurous with my editing.   In fact, it’s a bit like my painting – if I wanted to I could tweak and fiddle with it forever, but I know that at some point I have to say “enough is enough” and declare the project finished. And if I don’t finish it soon, people will lose interest.

And after my third run through, that’s where I am at;  Part 2 of our epic journey around the Med is complete, and uploading as I can speak (which might take a while as it’s HUGE!) So apologies if you are as picky as me and spot something that really should have been fixed.

I’ve put a lot of hours in and I really hope it was worth it.   I’ve learned loads doing this first project – probably much too ambitious for a first attempt, but hey ho – I’ve never been one for taking the easy path.

I hope you enjoy it.  Any day now 🙂

 

Coming up this month…

A quick reminder to check-in later this month when I will be posting our visit to the inaugural Scampton Air Show, and later documenting my eagerly awaited adventure with my friend Joe in the Czech Republic, as we cram in a week’s worth of visits into a long weekend, including the Brahms museum and Colditz Castle just for starters.

Stay tuned!

Not sure I can handle the criticism…

Just when I thought I was doing so well on my new youtube channel, and someone goes and leaves me this!

I mean, what does it mean?  They don’t know me.  They don’t know what was coming next.  Don’t they realise they are crushing an already fragile emerging talent?   Don’t they know people need room to grow?

And the cowardly critic even used youtube’s anonymity to deal the cruel blow without leaving any identifying features, or any means of redress, nor can I ask politely how I could improve.

I have known people throw themselves under a number seven double decker for less.

Fortunately I am not one of those people.  It matters not to me;  what matters is that I enjoyed doing it.

So feel free to orientate your thumb in any direction you like, because at least you have taken the time to have a look and cast your vote, and I’m very thankful of your input.
