When
I was a kid, we did some pretty great holidays. We did everything as
a family, which had both its good and bad aspects. I liked being with
my family, but sometimes the things we did together were horrid.
I remember one trip to LA where we did our usual single day at Disneyland, followed by a day visiting Forest Lawn Cemetery. Are you kidding? A cemetery rather than a second Disney day?
Cruises are nothing like this. You can be together or apart as much as you like. Our group of 5 does a lot together, but not everything.
Last night 4 wanted to go to the show, and 1 felt he would prefer sitting in a comfy chair, listening to music, and reading. We all did what we desired. Afterwards, one of the show goers wanted to hit the hay, and the rest wanted to go find the reader, which we did. For a while we were a new group of 4, and then split evenly as 2 wanted coffee, and 2 went dancing.
This morning, one stayed on board, one went running, and the other three went ashore to poke around and walk the forest trail. One of the walkers returned to the ship, and picked up the stay aboard for a short jaunt ashore in the shopping area. The runner, (me) returned to the ship, had a swim, and ate his first lunch. No idea what the other two are up to.
