01 MarThis is a True Story

My wife and two children took one of the best cruises to Hawaii about five years ago aboard the rhapsody of the seas. By this time, our son was eight and our daughter ten and we wanted to take a memorable family vacation.

One day, my son and I were walking down the beach, collecting shells. We saw a lady get up from her beach towel unsteadily. Then her knees buckled and she fell down. Concerned, we went over to help. She said she was feeling a bit faint from too much sun. I asked if I could help her over into the shade and she nodded. I put an arm around her, expecting her to lean on me for support as we walked. Instead, she put an arm around my neck and went limp, so that I ended up carrying her into the shade. It was awkward, to say the least.

It seems that taking large “dream vacations” makes more sense while health and finances are less significant considerations. After all, Nile River cruises and African safaris are once-in-a lifetime experiences so we should enjoy them without financial and health concerns hanging over our heads. Read more…
