Floating flats

Saw cruises on this monstrosity advertised in the local paper



Somehow made me think of sardines! They call it "Anthem of the Seas"
methinks one good storm and they'll need a few anthems playing.

My idea of a vacation is to get away from people and the normal way of life ... I can't fathom being isolated on an island of floating steel with 4,000+ other people and non-stop 24/7 food and entertainment.

Doesn't mention anything about an on-board pipe organ Mike.

Probably have to manage with a virtual one, with the sort of money likely to be floating around (sorry pun intended) should be able to afford a decent sample set - Special commission - Wimborne Minster?

Pennsylvania, Allegheny National Forest. The auto is my 2004 VW Jetta GLS with the 1.8 liter turbocharged gas engine.
Only has 124k miles on it - and yields a fairly constant 31 mpg city and highway combined.

I had a look on google earth looks a beautiful part of the world
