Pam, I have never been more than two weeks either, that's why I want to take it one step at a time when I am able to later. hrprof has already been around the world in 10 weeks on land, already so much more time away than you and me. Now he's asking advice of those who have been there, done that. Eager to hear what marcie will say, as I think her cruises previous to that were about 2 weeks.
