An H2G2 holiday

Cheerful Dragon

Hubby and I got back from a cruise yesterday. I was amused to find links to H2G2 cropping up during the holiday. On arrival at Dubai cruise terminal we were greeted by '42' written in balloons. We saw '42' quite often during our stay in Dubai and Abu Dhabi because December 2nd 2013 was the 42nd National Day for the United Arab Emirates. On board the cruise ship, one of the cabin stewards was called Marvin (no, he wasn't paranoid. Quite the opposite, actually.). And through out the holiday, any excursion where we got hot and sticky (all of them!) ended with us being given moistened tissues to freshen up with - lemon soaked napkins for our comfort and convenience. We also got hot, fragrant flannels for the same purpose on the flights out and back (Emirates).

I'm sure there were more links than that, but that's all I can remember right now.
