Latest news: Peace talks with Iran? Israel continues to express concern about the Hamas. Looks like Todd Blanche's confirmation vote on the floor will occur, at the end of the week, just before the Senate goes into recess.   But will he pass? Seems like I haven't been on a trip for awhile.  Actually, we returned less than three months ago after our cruises down the Mississippi and from Manhattan to Toronto, then a train ride from Toronto to Vancouver.   On our return, I looked ahead at our next adventure and said : We fly to Iceland to see some geo-cold sites, then board the Azamara Journey for 18-nights from Rekjavik to Greenland, ending up in Montreal.  Of course, there is one primary reason we will be on this cruise.  The next total solar eclipse.  Sun will stay dark for 2 minutes and 18 seconds on August 12. So, anyway, we leave today on our eclipse trip. The Azamara Journey cruise is hopefully where we will experience that total eclipse....
