Hey Gayle, we can trade if you want! I'll go on a cruise in November and you can come up to Saskatoon and enjoy the snow

Gayle, after our cruise, I sooo understand. We enjoyed it, but not my favorite mode of travel. The cassinos are to smoky for us. For the money you spend on a cruise there are so many nice things to do, but do understand your need to do this with and for Gary. Our time is so valuable, but hopefully it will be better than you are thinking and you will get to spend some quality time together!!! Thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

I feel exactly the same way! Maybe the casino will be non smoking! Yeah right! Dream On! LOL!

It will be fine - I bet it will be better than I am anticipating. We are very lucky and got a GREAT rate since there are 9 of us going.

Gayle I do love you.. BUT November is the best time to go on a cruise.. No hurricane weather and its beautiful. I am a big fan of cruises, I just love , love them. Matter of fact my friends and family want to do one next year and extent to everyone.. SO GIRLS YOUR INVITED! they say the more the merrier..

Gayle I know that your not a fan of cruises, but you don't have to go to the beach just enjoy the ship so much to do and the food AHHHHHH abundance. Plenty to do or not to do just soak up the sun by the pool. Shall I go on.. lol


Sooooooooooo GOOOOOOO Enjoy make Gary happy, you will not regret it..

PS I love the casinos, I never had a problem with smoking sec. I stay away and I hate the SMELL OF SMOKE.. lol not a good reason, you can avoid that section.. lol

Thanks Gina, I know many people love cruises - it's just not "my style". I feel uncomfortable on the ship, not because it is a ship, but because of the "pretentiousness" or something??? that I see everywhere.

Mostly, I don't like to be HOT - and November is our "wonderfully cool" month. The temperature is perfect in Austin, and now I have to go to the Caribbean and be HOT again. I don't wear swimsuits so to sitting by the pool would be HOT. Are you getting a theme now? LOL!

I don't care to drink - too many calories. And the food - oh yes, I love the food, but I struggle so mightily with my weight, that I feel guilty for every wonderful thing I put in my mouth. Then, when I get home, I have to go back to a STRICT eating regimen and it will be so hard. I'm like an addict, when I get the taste of good food, it is so hard to cut back to low fat, plain vegetables, etc etc. I will continue to eat out of control for a while when I get back, and I will gain even more weight. So, combined with the cruise, and the ensuing holidays, the weight gain issue for me is very bleak.

I know I will have fun, and I will so enjoy watching Gary have a great time with his sisters. But I will pay for it in more ways that one! Oh well, it's not the first costly trip, and won't be the last. LOL!!! Maybe there will be a non-smoking section of the casino. That would be fun!

Gayle, I have never wanted to go on a cruise either, and for every single reason you have just listed Mike has always wanted to go on a cruise...how about I send him with Gary and they can take care of each other?
