Oh it would be so nice to have my parents along!!! I would be delighted if you came.

It is not really "roughing" it at all. The ship is very comfortable and luxurious. Some landings are much easier than others. There are landings where the ground is flat and the penguins are just right there where you get off. No hard walking up hills or anything like that. I am going to dig out my pictures so people know what to expect.

Actually on our trip last time we had a very nice man who was suffering from Bladder cancer with a very poor prognosis. He was taking 28 pills a day on an experimental treatment. He was diagnosed AFTER be booked, had insurance and could have cancelled. However, he was determined to come along. He could not leave the ship but his wife came with us on a few landings. He recovered from his cancer which I sincerely believe was a "force of will". He still says it is was his best trip. You miss a lot not doing the landings and standing among the penguins but it is still a scenic wonderland from the ship.

We also had a 90 year old lady that went on almost all the landings. If you two can hang in with the MINT crowd in the disco you can hang in with the penguins!
