Queen Elizabeth 2, Amadea, Ventura & Queen Mary 2
The QE2 and QM2 were reunited on the 10th October 2008 for the penultimate time they'd be in their home together.  Mary arrived first at 5.45am, and for what is most like to be to one time only was in City Terminal and, more importantly, port rather than starboard!  Yay!!!!  My cousin John was on her.  Ventura was second for 6.30 and in Mayflower.  Amadea's itinerary stated 9am and port in 104 yet VTS had her for 8.30. Lizzie was due her usual 7am.  We planned to get the ferry across but as we don't get out that early usually had no idea the ticket office didn't open until 7am and didn't have enough change for the ferry so went to get some only Martins was closed, as was the other newsagent.  As Lizzie was early and docking, we went to the Promenade to get this unexpected bonus while we waited for Martins to open.  The weather was surprisingly mild for October.
