• Another TransAtlantic Cruise

    Another TransAtlantic Cruise

    We enjoyed a 29-day cruise on the small Pacific Princess from November 23 to December 22. We had two days in Venice Italy before getting on the ship. The back-to-back cruise started in Venice with stops in Croatia, Greek islands, Italy, and ending in the port near Rome. We stayed on the ship to continue…

    Let the Good Times Roll!

    While I attended the National Continuing Care Residents Association  (NaCCRA) meeting, Dan was able to play tourist and spend the day at the new World War II Museum, walk to St. Louis Cathedral, and tour the Ursuline Convent Museum. It was full of meetings for me, and I had one nice meal with other NaCCRA members…

Web websites need redecorating too. Have you noticed the websites…

  • Who Represents Us?

    Who looks after the interests of residents living in CCRCs? How about other residents? The Maryland Continuing Care Residents Association  (MaCCRA) is the statewide group of CCRC residents formed into chapters. Right now, there are 17 chapters in Maryland CCRCs with many individual members in other communities. I am in the process of recruiting members…

    Sea Days

    Non cruisers keep asking me, “What do you do on the sea days?” Not much! That is the beauty of cruising when there are many days in a row with no ports. I like to sleep late, read, explore the ship, try new venues, go to the afternoon movies, walk outside if it is warm enough,…
