At this time my steps are slow, slower and slowest. (Joke) Had to insert this because some people have no sense of humor. I have to admit that I am apprehensive about the cruise because I won't be with my husband. We were fortunate to be able to do a lot of cruising and I have been all over the world - including Antarctica. I wonder how it will affect me to be with my friend instead of my husband. Another thing is that the cruise line we sailing on does not compare to the line my husband and I used. I will have to always be on guard so I do not blurt out something about "Well this is not how . . . treated us." Hopefully we will return as friends.
