We are really enjoying the reminiscences. We are sure that those reading them are prompted to think about other wonderful, and maybe not so memorable, experiences.
Another "funny???"
We had a spare day in Aukland, NZ before our Auk-LA cruise, and really enjoyed the ferry to Devonport and to an extinct volcano, can't recall the name. Having recently had heart sugery I was rather reluctant to climb to the top but decided that I should really "give it a go." I reached the top and enjoyed the magnificent views. My heart worked very well and I was full of praise for my surgeon. However, in the middle of the night, I awoke, unable to move!!. I had manged to do something bad to my hip. Luckily there was a medical center next to the hotel, and $25 later I was x-rayed, given a shot and was relatively comfortable. I boarded the ship in a wheel chair and enjoyed the masseurs and a wonderful ship's doctor. Ahhh!, happy memories. David.
