Hi Shelley, Yes, the cruise and vacation were worth it. It's always good to go somewhere else for a while, get into a different lifestyle, look at different cultures around the world, try to figure out what your life would be like if you were living there instead of just visiting... I recommend traveling! Much fun! Carrie ________________________________ From: Shelley L.
