Hi Kerry,

We are one week into the cruise and things are going well. The interior cabin isn’t as bad as I had imagined and my mom and I are finding structure to our days. Truth is, she is the much more active one at present, off listening to all the lectures and meeting up with different people. I’m more inclined to relax with a good book. Some days, we barely ever see each other. She’s in her element and has already booked for next year to go by herself.

Would be fun to meet up once you’ve settled on board – just get the desk to ring my cabin and leave a message and we could meet for coffee.

Yes, go! I am in kind of the same situation, where my mother was really keen to do the cruise, but wouldn’t have done it without a companion, so I’m going with her – on this cruise too. I’m almost 60, and she’s 87, but we’ve agreed that though we’ll do some shore excursions together, at other times we’ll split up and do our own thing – perhaps she’ll stay on board while I go off for the day. We’ve got an inside cabin too, but from what I understand you’re only in it to sleep, so spend the day exploring the ship and meeting people.
Definitely agree with Mary Jo – you can choose what attitude you take.
We might meet up! We’re boarding at Dubai.

You have no choice — you must go with your mother.

But you do have a choice about your attitude. You can choose to make this an adventure, seeking out opportunities from bonding again with your mom, to endless days at sea, to solitude for writing and reflection, to some uninterrupted days to lounge in the sun and relax. Or, you can choose to be miserable.

It’s up to you. And I know you’ll choose wisely! Enjoy the trip!

I have to admit I’m starting to warm to the idea as the time gets closer, especially not having to work for 3 months (sans writing of course)

As for the upgrade, if only I had a magic wand to make that happen. Other than a magic wand, any one have any tips on getting an upgrade??
