Hi Linda,

Sitting quietly playing SN and wondering when it would be ok to have a glass of champagne! I am playing a lot less than I was so I may be getting my life back. We have four cruises booked out into 2020 at the moment the only one that will be new for us is once round Ireland. We did a round Britain cruise a few years back and enjoyed arriving at places we knew in a large American cruise ship - so this time we are trying Ireland where we don't know many of the ports. Two of the cruises we have booked don't need us to fly which is beginning to be an attraction (boy was I tired when we got to Cancun 11 hours in the air) so we are doing our 5th trip to the Baltic in spring -the last one was special since we were on a small expensive ship that got right downtown in St Petersburg - so we were able to do some new excursions - but this one will just be the standard cruise terminal mooring.

We go back to a lot of places because we like them but shouldn't be missed is so hard. We thought Ephesus was amazing but how it compares to Pompeii which we have never bothered with I don't know. Hong Kong to Shanghai via Beijing and a few Japanese ports was something we were really pleased we did but I don't think I would go back. We did a week on land in China to see more including the Terracotta Army and it was a great trip - two months with the back to back cruises home from Singapore - but that was really to make sure we did it while we were newly retired and "young" - we aren't planning anything that big again.

I hope your circumstances improve and you manage to fit in some trips soon, Wanda
