Eric - you know I think the same people that gave you the Bordeux info might as well be able to give you some info on Private Guides in Nice - email them or post it up to Anne and I'll be she will respond. We have some friends arriving for the second portion of our cruise that day, so we plan to stick pretty close to the ship until they arrivw, as we are taking the next portion also to Rome. This will be our first trip to Europe, so we are really excited.

Tom - how fun that you will also be on this cruise. You have our cabin number 862, so maybe we can all get together on boarding day but in any case leave a message or something. Maybe we can all have those drinks and dinner together that Eric and I talked about above. Actually we might meet up on the transfer from London if you are all staying at one of RSSC's hotels and using their transfer, as we are also doing two nights in London prior. We will be at the Radisson Edwardian Hampshire, and will be using RSSC transfers over to Dover on the 31st. As I said previously, we are sailing on the next segment, so will not be doing a post in Monte Carlo. Tom, you are right we are right down the road "so to speak". Depending on where everyone is staying in London, and what everyone is doing - in any case should we plan to meet up in the Observation Lounge prior to sailing maybe???? Its a long way off, but we can work that as things get closer.
