We got an E-mail from our Toronto couple 2009 World Cruise dinner mates telling us they booked the 2010 World Cruise. We started dreaming. After the last cruise we said we couldn’t go again until the cat died, and unfortunately the 15 year Lucky abridged. Jan got on the internet with our travel agent and after some questions and negotiations we booked our cabin.
Then came getting prepared. This included booking round trip flights between Fort Wayne to New York. We put the cars in storage in our garage and changed the insurance. We turned down the temperature gauge, unplugging electrical devices. We canceled or changed utilities, subscriptions, and etc.

Our daughter and her family took us to the Fort Wayne Airport and our adventure started. The flights were uneventful and enjoyable, leaving approximately on time and arriving on time in Chicago O’Hare and early at New York’s La Guardia. We got our luggage quickly at the third location they sent us to. We got a cab quickly and the trip to the hotel was quick and reasonable. The hotel is very new, nice, and in an iffy neighborhood.
