About Me

We love to take off. Could be a cruise or just trips in the States. We've been doing something every three months for just over 3 years. Have to do it while you're young enough to really enjoy it. We tend to take alot of pictures. When we get to the point when we can't travel we'll have pictures and movies to look back on. Maybe in twenty or thirty years. This doesn't count our weekend trips. Maybe when we both retire we'll be able to do more. I think I'm going to have a little more time on my hands. I've turned in my papers for retirement, last day should be the 28th of September. Hoping to have more time to moderate Cruising tips and be more of an active member in this community.

Interests:
Our biggest interests are our kids and grand-kids. Try to see them all as often as possible. We truly do enjoy traveling and we've got hooked on cruising. We try to cruise 2 to 3 times a year, started that just over 2 years ago. We've found that we enjoy cruising on our own or with family and friends. The wife is completely hooked on balconies. I enjoy them too. Nothing like sitting out there first thing in the morning, drinking coffee and cruising into a new port.

My Journals (4)

The past 5 months have been pretty rough. I lost my mother,  someone that meant a great deal to me. I retired from the Teamsters. Had a rough time in the family with illness. Still made time for a cruise to the Mexican Riveria. The grandkids have been very active in our lives. It's just been a very hectic time. I do promise to get the pictures and if i can a couple of movies on my profile. I hope everyone has had very happy holidays and the start to a great New Year.

I love your attitude about traveling. I retired four years ago and don't have much money to spend on traveling - unless I want to start using the money I've saved for my "later" years - which I just might start doing. I'm still in okay shape as long as I don't overdo it.

I've just found an online friend who also has fibromyalgia and who loves to cruise. I just might start doing it more often. I love it!

Like your ideas about why a "balcony" cabin is preferred. Our first cruise was the Western Caribbean. Never would have seen my first flying fish if we had an inside cabin!
Leaving 4/15/08 for the Mexican Riviera! (Our 3rd cruise)
