What's All This Then?

My wife and I are going on a 35 day cruise. Yes, I said 35. It will obviously be the biggest thing we ever do, so I decided to share my thoughts on the planning, and eventually the cruise and ports itself as it happens. I'll hopefully be uploading some photos as well.

ALL OF THE PICTURES HAVE NOW BEEN UPLOADED.

July 5, 2011: Planning renews and Catholic guilt


Left the port planning alone for a while, but now back into it. I notice there’s some high hills around Nanortalik in Greenland. I contact the folks at the town's website, and am informed I have plenty of time to do a hike there with a guide for $50. I’d normally balk at guides, but this seems wise and not a bad price for 3 hours. Having some local companionship is only a bonus. 

People ask me where we’re going in December’s 10 day cruise, and I only have a vague idea (other than “away”). Sad. That would be an luxury to a lot of people, and I’m hardly even thinking about that now. I feel guilty. Then again, I feel guilty at most anything.

  1. Just a reminder. The December 2011 cruise is in the Carribean. Heaven.
    As Mike documents our journey, I have decided to also comment on our journey with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (hereafter PPMS). I have been blessed to still be walking and talking and not wearing diapers after 9 years with this insidious disease. Lately things have become rather dificult. My goal for the trip has been to still be walking by then. It is beginning to look like I won't make it. In any case, we will find laughter in just about everything, and do what we have to do.

  2. I remember it's in the Caribbean silly, just forgot most of the islands we're hitting. 8) You're a tough girl, not much surprises me with you anymore. Just remember my wheelchair pushing will probably be as scary as my driving. That should be enough impetus.
