Hi Deborah,

We will be leaving Calif on May 5, and my wife is just taking a jacket and a sweater, as the temperatures in the Baltic ports should be moderate at that time of the year. You may encounter a little rain, and my wife usually carrys a collapsable umbrella in her carry on bag. The Constellation also had an umbrella in our cabin, for our use when it was raining. Is your London visit pre or post cruise? Ground transfers to Dover can take some planning if you are not taking the Celebrity transfers. We are flying into Gatwick this time, and taking the train to Dover. We spent a couple of days there last Sept, waiting for the Constellation, and really enjoyed it. On the May 7 cruise we are spending an overnight in Copenhagen, so I would think that there will be no problem getting your pottery. If you could get the address and hours of operation from the internet, you can easily work it into your explorations of the city.

We are a little concerned about the Russian discussions about the termination of the group visas. They are very convenient, and getting individual visas can be expensive, and could take some time to obtain. Lets hope they decide to keep the group visas. If we can help with any information about the cruise we would happy to assist.

Peter
