I have the wrong sorts of friends

[carbonel]

Not for most things, mind you. But for traveling, I have friends with disposable time, and friends with disposable money, but few friends with both. I don't have excessive amounts of both, but I like to travel with what I do have.

And I'd love to take this opportunity -- a 14-day transatlantic cruise, starting in Rome and ending in Ft. Lauderdale. Prices start at $499 per person, but of course that's for a two-person cabin. And honestly, it's more fun to travel with someone else. (I traveled for five months alone; that's how I know.)

Anyone interested, she asked hopefully.

Wow, that's quite the deal.

Oh, wow, that is so tempting.

I ended up enjoying the Alaskan cruise I went on so much more than I expected I would. The balcony off our room was especially nice, as it meant I could spend quite a bit of time out there reading and watching the water in peace and quiet.

Yes, one of the highlights of my first Alaska cruise (where I had a balcony cabin) was being able to sit out there and watch the glaciers during our stay in Glacier Bay.

I'd love to do this one, even though I know airfare would be pricy.

Do you have any European fannish friends that might want to visit Florida?

(I am extremely tempted by the Azores, but can't afford the time away... and I'm sure that they'd not give me enough time in the Azores anyway.)

Oh my. That is one heckuva deal. I wish I could do it - but I'd have to find a way to get to Rome first, and you know I don't fly. Guess you'll have to put me in the disposable income, non-disposable time category! Rats.

I've been across the Atlantic and back by ship and it was a fantastic experience.

Grumble. That link won't let me look at the info about the cruise unless I join. What time frame are you talking about here? I've got time *and* money, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to travel. The 2 weeks in Germany nearly did me in.

That's weird. I've shared links with my mother, and she's not a subscriber. It might be that that deal is expired (alas).

On the other hand, there are still cabins available for a slightly higher price. Look here and search for "transatlantic" and you'll see it.

Any interest? A cruise is about the most relaxing way to take an interesting vacation (as opposed to a resort, I mean).
