My 70th birthday

Pedant alert!
It should have said
'With whom to celebrate my birthday'

Have a wonderful birthday when it comes.

There will be a lot of GNers raising a to you Galen

Good for you. I wish you a wonderful holiday and a very happy special birthday.

Congratulations on this up-coming landmark birthday. Brilliant idea to spend it cruising, which we know you love. Venice is wonderful!

We might not be with you in person Galen, to help celebrate but could we not have a virtual party on board? (I'll dust off me pearls in case)

That sounds like a plan! When is your birthday?

That sounds brilliant. If only your Granspals (as Soop would say) could join you. I think we should have a virtual party on the day / evening.

Fabulous idea Galen. Doing something you enjoy will make your 70th a special memory. Don't forget your pearls!

Oh yes! Celebrate your birthday in style Galen, sounds wonderful

Great idea what a wonderful way to celebrate a special birthday ....enjoy it all.

What an excellent plan Galen - another outing for the pearls as well, fabulous

When is that then? Before or after your August cruise?

My 70th is in 2016 so if I am still here I plan to do something like that as well. A firend just came back from a cruise on the QV to Russia and thoroughly enjoyed it so am thinking along those lines although Cunard is a bit pricey for us so looking at Celebrity if we enjoy the one booked for next August

Congratulations Galen for when it comes - sounds like an excellent choice I'm sure they will make it special for you and it doesn't get more special than Venice.

DH's 70th is coming up in a couple of years so I'm saving and planning for something nice for him. Monaco was mentioned!!!

Its my 70th in 3 weeks, nothing happening as wonderful as a cruise, but....
I shall be doing the one thing that I miss living in the Hebrides... Shopping!!
and a Pub. So I am going to Inverness to indulge myself.

Have fun.

Perhaps the grans who live within travelling distance of Southampton could give you a birthday send off or welcome back? Seems like a great reason for a meet.

How lovely Galen. Enjoy it when it comes. I LOVE Venice. Happy 70th to everyone else with that special day coming up

Mazel Tov Galen. My 70th birthday was last month. My darling sweet daughter took me to Paris for three days. We'd been several years earlier and had discussed that we wanted to go back. So we did and a wonderful time we had too. BTW I want to back !!!

Galen Happy 70th whenever it is, join the 70 club! A cruise sounds like a fine idea, for the day.

Good for you Galen having something to look forward to on your special day. I had a look at your itinerary in the hope that you might be calling at Malta, but it seems not. Otherwise I would have been on the dock to welcome you

Can I carry your bags please Galen.

Have a wonderful time. Happy 70th.

Great idea Galen . Don't know when you're off, but have a wonderful #vodkatonicspecial birthday.
