The old Hiawatha Lodge was the venue and the place I met the love of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-2fd4a0aa wp-block-paragraph\">The evening began with a meal, followed by speeches and toasts. Gordon gave a toast\u2014I don\u2019t remember to whom\u2014but it really impressed me. I was struck by his confidence, his articulation, and, I must say, his handsome face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:25px\"> I must say his handsome face<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-align:justify has-custom-css has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-d702c3db wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the dinner, Gordon asked me to dance. I was thrilled, as you can imagine, but I responded with a &#8220;No, thank you.&#8221; My excuse was that I did not like country music, which was actually untrue. That is just what nerves will do to you! I was nervous because he was in university and I was still a high school student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I was sure he would not ask me again, but hallelujah, he did! This time I said yes. We danced the rest of the evening, and he took me home\u2014a bit late, according to my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, Gordon invited me to join him at Shingwauk Residential School to play baseball against the residents. We had a great time and won the game. I really wanted him to ask me out again, but he didn\u2019t right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-e1055ba4 wp-block-paragraph\">The next date was initiated by me. I wanted to take him to a school dance, which meant I had to call him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-bc5b9fac wp-block-paragraph\">My friends and I decided I should just do it. Dialing the number at the rectory where he lived with his parents took several attempts before I finally let the phone ring. I was nervous and sure he wouldn&#8217;t want to attend a high school dance. Much to my relief and delight, Gordon answered and accepted my invitation. That phone call resulted in us dating throughout the entire summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with a white shirt sitting in the sand with a pipe in his mouth.\" class=\"wp-image-11511 lazyload\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4609897123976872;width:358px;height:auto\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=315202741  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1496\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with a white shirt sitting in the sand with a pipe in his mouth.\" class=\"wp-image-11511\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4609897123976872;width:358px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1496\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1496w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:300\/h:205\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:768\/h:526\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1536\/h:1051\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:500\/h:342\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:800\/h:548\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1280\/h:876\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1578\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1578\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/107.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">Gordon: My story about how we met.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-9fc9a89c wp-block-paragraph\">I was a member of St. John&#8217;s AYPA (Anglican Young Peoples Association). As a member I was invited to a &#8220;rally.&#8221; The rally was held at the old Hiawatha Lodge. I bet, I was a speaker at same, but about what I have no recollection. A dance followed and I remember the girl with the most beautiful legs. We danced, and as I remember, she was overwhelmed by my abilities on the dance floor. I was equally inept no matter the dance. I believe I drove her home after the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:25px\">I remember the girl with the most beautiful legs<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-css has-medium-font-size wp-custom-css-2c25753a wp-block-paragraph\">A week or so later, Faye called and invited me to a girls invite dance at the YMCA on Spring St. and rest is history. We spent the rest of that summer together and then went our separate ways for our studies in Niagara Falls and Winnipeg. Faye beginning her 3 year programme and I my three years in architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That phone call resulted in us dating throughout the entire summer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">How the summer cemented our future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Our summer fun included movies, meals and visits to my house. We even went to an Anglican camp in Whitefish Falls to an Anglican camp together. Spending time travelling to the camp and taking part in activities allowed me to get to know Gordon very well, and I liked what I saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">My mother thought a lot of Gordon, and he was often a quest at our house. His parents were summering at their cottage in Bracebridge,and I was able to visit them there one long weekend. Gordon&#8217;s father joked that Gordon was &#8220;stealing from the cradle&#8221; because he thought I was only 11 years old! I must admit, I looked very young for an 18 year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One special date was at his house. He sent me a handmade invitation to a dinner he cooked the meal all by himself. He prepared a chinese meal of Chop Suey. I was so impressed by the invitation and the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Every young person needs a chaperone right? Ours came in the form of my eight- year- old sister Sandra and our dog Bogey. They always wanted to go with us,  and sometimes they did. It was hard to leave when those four big eyes were pleading with us to take them along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3\">Summer is over, Gordon goes West to Winnipeg Manitoba, and I go South to Niagara Falls.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As summer ended, Gordon returned to the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg to complete his last three years of his 5 year architecture degree. Meanwhile, I left to enter my first year of a three year nursing diploma programme at The Greater Niagara General Hospital School of Nursing in Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">A long distant relationship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon was able to come home for three months every summer to work, but I only had one week off a year. During those summers Sandra and Bogey continued to spend time with him, even helping him with renovations at the camp! When I did get to visit home, I found that many of our dates still included a girl and a dog sitting on the front steps, waiting to join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One summer Gordon even drove his old Volkswagen all the way from Winnipeg to Niagara Falls just to visit me for a weekend. I also managed to fly to Winnipeg one winter. I was surprised my parents let me go! Gordon paid for the trip, and we were so happy to have that time together to cement our feelings for each other, of course, the visits were never long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We became engage in July of 1959 when Gordon came for a surprise visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:34% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:752\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11559 size-full lazyload\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=343354383  decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:752\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11559 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:752\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 752w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:220\/h:300\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 220w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:768\/h:1046\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:500\/h:681\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:793\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:793\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:793\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gordon-beard.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I knew he was coming but not when.

The hum of the wheels and the sway of the train rocked us to sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were fortunate to have very comfortable sleeping accommodations similar to the picture below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1365\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-11454 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=1031506043  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-11454\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1365\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1365\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 1365w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:300\/h:225\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 300w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:768\/h:576\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 768w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1440\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 1536w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1440\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 2048w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:500\/h:375\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 500w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:800\/h:600\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 800w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1280\/h:960\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 1280w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1440\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 1920w, https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:1440\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1734098468-img_5983.avif 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Accommodations for night travel by train <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Arrival in Montreal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We arrive in Montreal in the middle of the day and take a taxi to our Hotel in Montreal. It was the Hotel L&#8217;Elysee. The hotel was situated in Old Montreal along the St. Lawrence River. There was a street called Promenade du Vieux-Port that followed the river. The hotel was on this street. It was a stone building with Paved steps leading to a wooden entrance door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hello and welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Smedley&#8221; was how the staff greeted us. A pleasant surprise for us newly weds. In short order a Bell Boy took us up a large wooden stairway to the honeymoon suite. The suite was a lovely, cozy room, but again, a surprise, how did they know we were newly weds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dining room had an old world charm to it. The tables were covered with white table clothes with candles that added to the romance of the room. We were ushered to our table by a very polite waiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we were settled at our table, the waiter offered us some red wine. Although a  lot of people enjoy this alcohol drink,  I did not. Alcohol was a drink I had never drank  because I never wanted to loose control.  In the spirit of the situaltion I did  accept a small glass, however the taste did not change my resolve &#8211; not to drink alcohol. I decided it was not something I wanted to have any more of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Our Dinning Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our meal consisted of several very different courses all of them left us wanting more. This delightful meal was a wedding gift from a client of Gordon&#8217;s, Jim Rudack and his wife. Gordon designed their house on Florwin Drive, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day we took a walk along the promenade.  We joined many people who had the same plan. They were out enjoying the day and the view, as we were. As a bus was picking us up, in the afternoon, our site seeing was short. The bus was to take us to Quebec City, where we would be boarding a ship, to take us to England.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">DESTINATION QUEBEC CITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quebec City being one of the oldest cities in Canada we were happy to have time to explore it&#8217;s quaint features. The ship we were to board was, the MS ITALIA an Ocean Liner. The ship was taking us to Southampton, England. At Southampton, we would leave the ship. We would then fly to London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\">Some Views of Quebec

At the start of our voyage we are in the St. Lawrence River for 3 days of our 12 day trip. While we were in the St. Lawrence River, the water is calm and the winds are pleasant. I did not think November the best time of the year to take an ocean cruise, because, this is when the seas are rough and the winds are strong &#8211; a recipe for sea sickness- for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Sea sickness anyone?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"letter-spacing:3px\">The first three days were the wonderful part of the cruise, I was happy and enjoying events offered. I was especially, eating and enjoying the wonderful Italian food- until we hit the ocean in the middle of the night. I woke up with a very sick stomach and felt miserable. Time did not heal my sick stomach, it clung to me causing a loss of all interest in food. You can&#8217;t even imagine what a horror that was. This was an Italian ship with delicious Italian food.<em> (You can see the menus below<\/em>).One never likes to see a doctor when you are on holiday, nor did I, so I managed to go to his office when he wasn&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">An Hilarious Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"letter-spacing:3px\">The MS Italia offered a variety of events and activities for the passengers. Despite my illness we attended some events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"letter-spacing:3px\"> I remember attending a movie, which proved to be quite eventful. The seats where the movie was held were not fastened to the floor. This lack of anchorage resulted in the movie watchers sliding in all directions. Sometimes all were moving to the right or sometimes to the left. At other times we were moving forward or backwards. Quite a hilarious time, however, this frantic movement increased my severe seasickness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Enjoying Fine Food and Pleasant Company<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">Our table mates: we visited the other  couple at an Army Base in Germany

A cat show was taking place that weekend, and every room in the city seemed to be booked. It was quite a shock, we had assumed that a major city like London would have plenty of hotels available. Fortunately, a kind gentleman managed to find us a room for one night, as the cat show ended the following day. We hoped the hotel would be decent and that one night would be all we needed. To ensure we had a comfortable place to stay afterward, we booked a room at the Regent Palace Hotel for the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18 wp-block-paragraph\">How bad could one night, in a not so decent hotel be?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We arrived by taxi at this questionable hotel, received a key to our room and took a very old rickety elevator that shook us all the way up to the floor our room was on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening the door convinced us that we would not choose this hotel again. or stay another night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you have wanted to stay at this hotel? Here is what I remember about it. As soon as I opened the door, I noticed cigarette butts and ashes in the sink. There was dust everywhere, along with a terrible smell that forced us to sleep with the bed pulled up to an open window. It was far from a pleasant experience. Needless to say, we paid the bill and left first thing in the morning. Fortunately, we had already booked a room at the Regent Palace Hotel near Piccadilly Circus, one of London\u2019s well-known tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19\">THE REGENT PALACE HOTEL AND PICADILLY CIRCUS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do not remember too much about the Regent Palace Hotel but I do remember that we did not have a bathroom in our room. A surprise for such a famous hotel. However, the room and the bathroom down the hall were clean. As my memory is failing me and I want to know more about the Regent Palace Hotel I visite Google who supplied me with the following Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20\">Google and the Regent Palace Hotel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel\u2019s upper floors contained mostly single and double bedrooms, many of which did not have private bathrooms. The single rooms were extremely small, with just enough space for a bed, washbasin, chair, table, wardrobe, and window. Rooms facing the inner courtyard still received natural light, while the larger double and twin rooms offered more space and furniture. Bathrooms and toilets were shared along each passageway. Guests could ring a bell to request assistance from a maid, who would prepare a bath, bring hot towels, accompany them to the bathroom, and clean up afterward. <em>Information provided by Google.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">London and our must see list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center

not get enough of it. It was exciting to see in person the many places we had heard of or seen in books or on TV. We are leaving to begin the second stage or our honeymoon &#8211; travelling Europe. We plan on coming back to London to live and work for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-26\">Don&#8217;t miss these travels.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clicking on the button below will take you to the page where you will see images and text showing our experiences in the countries we visited on our spectacular honeymoon. We were entertained by flamenco dancing in Torremolinos, attended a bullfight in Malaga, and visited museums in Madrid. We also saw the Eiffel Tower and other well-known landmarks in Paris, in Holland we saw the the Red Light District in De Wallen, Amsterdam, as well as museums and art galleries. Then it was time to return to London, find a place to live, and for Gordon to look for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fayeca.me\/?page_id=12499\">A Spectacular Honeymoon includes Love and Europe<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not miss clicking that button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_11037\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"11037\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon small\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" border=\"0\"><noscript><video autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:eco\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" original-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=\"0\"><\/noscript><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faye and Gordon: Our Story A journey from the dance floor to a lifetime together.
