Well after my Surgery on my Bladder June 14th I plan on taking BLUU up to my cabin in Northern New Mexico for a two week R & R/Fishing trip. Will be looking forward to the cooler temps in the Mt's vs Tucson Temps!!

It's a real saga, Cyril! First you have to have "invitation" documents from a hotel/travel agent. Then there's a downloadable form on the Embassy's agents' website. http://ru.vfsglobal.co.uk You fill that in, with lots of detail - parents names, your last three jobs, where you went to college, blah blah. You need to attach a passport photo. If you're going by bike or car, you need to include the (original) V5 for it, provide an itinerary, and a list of who you're travelling with. If you're self-employed, you also need original bank statements for a three month period showing a minimum balance (I forget how much - the site tells you.) Then you take/send that to the appropriate place (London or Edinburgh), and pay £75.00 each. If you've done it all correctly, you get your passport back a week later with the visa, for the exact number of days you have a hotel booked. We got ours back last week.

I wish my wife wouldn`t manage so i have to take her via Princess Cruises so not that bad thanks for the reply.

Are you thinking about going on your bike?

If you arrive on a cruise ship, no visa is required, providing you are there no more than 72 hours, Cyril.

Due to the old dude in the chrysler running into me, I'm taking my vacation rides vicariously thru all of you and your ride reports/logs/etc. I'll be awhile before I'll be able to lift a scooter off the jiffy stand much less attempt to ride. So, just keep those ride reports/pics/tall tales, etc. posting and I'll manage.

My cousin from Oregon stopped by today to say hello...he and his wife are spending the next 5 weeks riding to the East coast, up through Canada, and back to Oregon. His ride is a 2004 Goldwing with 136,000 miles.

Leaving mid July with my step son for eight days, heading out to Mount Rushmore and that area for 8-9 days, it will be a b*ll's to the wall kind of a ride but doable.About 1524 miles from were I'm at in GA.
