Cruise
I hate to be the first one to object to a cruise but I am not comfortable at all about the thought of going on one. I worry to much about the illnesses that can be caught, especially for some of us with low blood counts and the crime. Call me a woosie if you want but I can't help it, lol. I would much prefer a spa resort. If I turn out to be the only one in objection of a cruise I would want all of you to go anyway and enjoy.
Thanks ladies,
Nicola
