Plans are near made, unfortunately. But I will definitely suggest this for a next trip. You're right! A cruise would be perfect.

Would they consider taking a trip that is less tiring? I find cruises work well for my husband. It gives him as much activity and social life as he wants. When my husband is tired, the cabin is always there and he can rest. (It also lets me be completely waited on and pampered for a week or so!) It took me quite a while before I could get him to agree to a cruise -- now he wants to go more than I do (almost). Could you suggest an Alaskan cruise? They could fly to Vancouver or San Francisco and then just relax and enjoy the scenery. Dorothy CG Roy 68/44/42 >>
