Hey Cheryl (Gregswife) WHERE ARE YOU????  I miss you, you haven&#39;t been here for three days... that&#39;s not allowed you know :)  Are you still snowed in?<br /><br />Gail... sorry I had to go back and edit my previous post about the Azores.  I meant to say i would NOT want to return there.  We have also done two trans-atlantic cruises and  Madeira and Lisbon are both wonderful, but the ships like to refuel at the Azores for some unknown reason.  When I was young we cruised from Cape Town, South Africa to Southhampton, England on the Windsor Castle. One of our posts of call was Madeira, and in those years they had &quot;bullock carts&quot;.  Carts pulled by oxen in the city .....  a means of &quot;fun&quot; transportation for visitors.
