Not trying to be confrontational, just hoping to orient you to what is to come: what will you do when the time comes when even a scooter is no longer sufficient for you to 'cruise 3 or 4 times a year?' The answer, of course, is to STILL not travel. Sssooo......................................................................

The missus and I just got off an HAL Mediterranean 18 day 'romantic' cruise that took us from Civitavecchia/Rome south to Malta, east to Turkiye (Kusadasi/Ephesus), Athens, Katakolon/Olympia, Sarande Albania, back top Malta, Sardinia, Naples/Pompeii, Civitavecchia again, Corsica, Villefranche/Monaco, and we disembarked in Barcelona. It was crowded, busy, blazing hot (for we denizens of the PNW), and hectic......but we got 'er done. Unforgettable. 😉
