I spent a week in and around Liverpool, Merseyside, years ago. It was
quite interesting, and included going to the bar/disco where the Beatles used
to play many many years prior.

I think Ray's gonna try for that tour while in Liverpool :-)

It's a tour now? How is that possible, unless it is just to see where it all
happened? There's no way to experience it during the daytime. We were guests
of some locals who showed us around all the places to see, dance, drink, and it
was very late night. We danced for hours. Several late nights.

That's something I really hate about cruising, getting back on the ship so
darned early and not having time to enjoy a city and then sail away leisurely
without having to get ready for dinner.

No argument here on that subject Karen. Even leaving in the wee hours would be
better than taking off at 5 or 6 in the afternoon.

As an aside, we met a couple on a Med Cruise once that had their own different
take on this. When we all went into Florence thatday they took an overnight bag
with them. After spending the day in Florence they took the train to Rome, spent
the night in Rome, toured the next day and then rejoined the ship.

A clever idea I thought and something I would like to try someday perhaps.
