Andi,
What a nice idea!

Mark and I have been married 19 years, (I was not of legal age when we married) and have lived in northern Pennsyvania the entire time.

Our first cruise was on Carnival, on one of their oldest ships in their fleet. I remember crying halfway through the trip because we were having a terrible time and I wanted to go home. We vowed never to cruise again.
Then, a friend talked me into to sailing on the Song of Flower and the rest is history.

Mark will be retiring in 3 years and at that time we plan to move someplace less snowy :) We considered moving in with Tom and Marcie but decided that the west coast is too far from Europe and the Caribbean so we have decided to move in with Kimmi and John, who live on the East coast. If we want to go to Australia or Tahiti, we can alway stay a few months with Marcie and Tom or whoever will take us in. We also considered buying a Winnebago so we could live in that and drive it to ports and airports.
