I am back

Hi Iris, just came back from a cruise on the new Panama  canal.  While it was great I stayed in my room most of the time. Not the old me. That made me decide to cancel another cruise planned for next March.  I just like being home. I did like the day trips that are structured.  I have one more cruise planed this year an that may be the last. May be start to travel the US. That was what I had planed when I was old. I guess that time has come sooner than I thought.  Either way I was lucky to do it all.
