JohnG,

You have personally provided the most valuable answers to my questions. I thank you for that. . .

I consider you a friend, so since you are a friend, I can tease a little can't I?

Just looking at all the things you are retired from. . . Man! You must be OLD!

Just kidding buddy. . .Thanks for making my travels easier. . . It is much appreciated. . .

Well, 20 years was Navy, 10 was banking, cut short by merger forced retirements, and 9 years with the University. Me and Popeye shipped out when we were three! Now I'm 39 and holding. Actually, I'm 63, and proud of it. 7 kids from 16 to 41, so I wasn't always at sea!

I am a "homemaker". When I married DH he had a handicapped little girl so I stay home to take care of her. Now she's gone I am kind of old to get back on the "work horse" (56 is old right?) so I just volunteer with Big Brothers/Big SIsters.

DH is in security - two shifts a week - poor baby lol. He calls it his pre-retirement phase. He actually works weekends so we have all week to do what we want - and the honey-do list just keeps on growing for some reason lol.

SCIRROCO--Robert and Annie, welcome to CruiseCrazies! Nice to have you aboard.

We are a nice bunch around here, so just join in! We all share a common love--sea cruises!

Sounds like you have a nice family there. Rita just retired from the Sheriff's Dept after 20 years. She had to be in law enforcement to keep me in line.
