Dream Trip on the Titanic in January

[bluecoconuts]

For this experience the journey itself is the vacation.

I get that, just not really my style. Don't get me wrong, I get the appeal of stepping into the past a bit, I've done a few "D-Day jumps" where we get to jump out over Normandy in WWII gear and it was a lot of fun. If I'm doing a journey is the vacation thing I'd rather do a trek in Nepal, or up to Machu Picchu or something, but that's just me. I'm one of their weirdos who likes walking, and looking at the natural world.

Well, so do I. A huge part of the experience besides the history is watching and experiencing nature on the decks. Hearing, seeing, smelling the ocean...feeling the chill of the night air. Seeing stars beyond counting on a clear night is something I miss too. Being in the panorama of a night sky, full of stars on a comparatively small craft to a vast ocean, gives perspective to how truly insignificant we are in the scope of things.

I think this would be a cool experience.

I imagine there would be a small casino onboard and internet that you could pay for like on the Queen Mary II, but if you are staying on such a historically accurate ship like Titanic II, why ruin the experience? I also would love to be outside with uncounted stars in the sky. The voyage is at a pretty leisurely pace on the Quenn Mary II, as it takes 7 days for the crossing. If you book a round trip ticket that goes back to back, you can keep your same room/bed for the return trip. I don't know if I would do that because I would want to check out some places that my ancestors lived in London area, unless the turn around time is a few days. The only other trip I would like almost as much would be an Alaskan cruise. My wife an I are not into the Carribean or hot places for vacation. We like moderate or cold places!

You are the opposite of me. I only like warm places for vacations. I hate the cold.

Which part? - Kurt Russell or Keith David

And that was a fantastic horror movie - I consider it #1 for all horror movies

Alien and Aliens up there though
