"Everything is relative" … My friend George had to buy a new truck because his truck finked out on him at a little over 104,000 miles. He said, "My truck costs as much as when you two take a vacation…" He’s not too far off! Everyone laughs about the vacation where I got a transatlantic cruise all the way from Miami to Rome for about $4000 and we ended up spending upwards to $30,000 on the extensions from that trip called "while we’re at it." That was the year we travelled to Rome, took a cruise out of Venice to the Greek Isles, stayed several days in Venice, flew into England, went up to Scotland, and down to Bude, and then across the south of England to fly back to Miami. At that time we bought a round trip ticket from and to England so we had to return! We flew back to England on that round trip, played some more with our English friends and then did a transatlantic cruise back to Miami. One would think we would be finished right? Well on one of our adventures we got an RCCL credit card for Chuck that got us onboard credits on our next RCCL cruise. So began the hunt for an RCCL cruise and …. a few days ago, I found it. On May 4, 2015 we will take a transatlantic cruise to Harwich England and not get off the ship, but take the next cruise through the Scandinavian countries. When we get back to Harwich we are thinking of taking a narrow boat on the canals and waterways of England. We drive ourselves on the waterways.. We might do it, but when I tried to make a reservation they would not let me fill in the 55 and over block…. I wasn’t going to lie about age as I am sure they take some kind of ID. So I wrote to them that even though we are "old" and will be 67 and 68 at cruise time… Chuck has been on boats all his life. Again, it’s relative …. we aren’t like all old folks. If anyone wants to go on a grand adventure in May 2015, let me know…. Time to go to Yoga while Chuck begins to pre cook ribs. God bless you.
