Don't forget to answer my question from first thing this morning UK time. What are your plans for after the cruise?

Happy Birthday Marilyn and all today's birthday people.
We have to head straight home after the cruise and get back to work.
Unless between then and now we win the lottery or come up on ERNIE! (Okay, who is going to explain ERNIE to our US friends?)
We're looking at flying either Continental from Birmingham (Bham-Newark-Orlando then LA-Newark-Bham) or American from Manchester (Man-Chicago-Orlando then LA-Chicago-Man), but both are too early (0830ish) for us to fly on the Sunday from LA. We can either stay overnight in LA and have a very early start on Monday, or do the first leg on Sunday and stop overnight in Newark/Chicago, flying home from there on the Monday evening. The only way we can fly home on the Sunday is going into London, which we always try to avoid.
Birmingham is our closest airport and we can park there for free (DH works there) but we tend to use Manchester because we like flying American.
