Yep we have always been independent travelers, but to fill my bucket list item, to cross the Atlantic, this was the most practical.
Janet was not getting on a sailboat to do it.
I can honestly say we had a blast! Am I cruiser now.... probably not, but I am not totally against this mode of transportation for vacations.

Here is our plan as we ease into retirement:

a) Continue with Independent Travel
b) Cruising
c) Planned bus trips in Europe where they pick up your bags and everything is done.
d) Get a dog, look at pictures, and do not travel anymore
e) Call it life

We are still in a) section of our life, but b) is on the horizon smile

Honestly, I could have sat on the balcony and never gotten off the ship.

Follow along and I will describe days at sea in coming post.
