A cruise! That's what I call a vacation. An experience many of us will never have and here it shows how useful it is that we can read your experience here, told with your talent and your very good photos. Thank you!
My post, fortunately for me, today I managed to write something: What Other Shopping Did My Wife Do?
Thank you! I am truly touched by your efforts to put out a #MarketFriday every week. It does not go unnoticed.
I really hesitate to put out posts on things that may possibly be out of reach for medical/physical or financial reasons. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, just merely have a little fun. I can remember how fascinated I was when they started coming out with the big ships, but, I never want anyone to feel bad about it. I am not talking about you, you tolerate me. :)
A cruise from the States is actually cheaper than they are over on the other side of the pond. It costs 2 and 3 times as much for the ships from Europe and Asia. The ones ported here are much cheaper. One of the reasons a lot of Europeans fly over here to get their cruises instead of starting the cruise there.
I cannot figure out why.
Thank you for supporting #MarketFriday!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Well, if it was noticed, I'm very pleased, thank you!
This is a problem I often think about when I write, I wouldn't want to read someone hungry when I write about food or sadden someone who can't travel when I show my short vacations. They're no big deal, extremely modest but for someone who can't afford them they can be painful to look at. I think about it a lot... and I hesitate and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to write about anything but what I've lived and seen. I don't know how to write literature and fiction, I don't know how to write about crypto. I remember in my teens and young adulthood being angry that I couldn't have or couldn't travel, but now I don't have such problems. I've long gotten used to the thought that I have to be content with what I have. And I really am but I understand very well that there are many people on this earth who are more deprived of everything...
I also understand this aspect, that something that seems very luxurious and unattainable can be affordable without great expense. Those who prefer these cruises are not millionaires, are they? I didn't detect a millionaire attitude in you. You are a woman who has seen an enormous number of places, things, and situations and knows very well how to manage your life, so I think that what you show can be an example to which many of us should tend, each one with the level of his life.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Trust me, I notice that you always put the effort out. You are a much better person that way than I am. But, yes. I do notice.
It is such a difficult problem and always has been. A large part of my travel out of the US has been sponsored by the job, to do work for them, sometimes living there, sometimes traveling there, and occasionally visiting on my own. I felt lucky to have been paid to travel so many times. I think I benefited more than they did- in many ways.
Those who prefer these cruises can be millionaires, but, don't have to be. I have also become expert on how to make money work for a living, getting the most value from it. Mostly luck. You are definitely right. It is a stuggle to know which is okay and which may not be so okay. I constantly have internal fighting, trying to do the right thing. Perhaps I watched to many happily ever after movies and like to dream.
Thanks so much for your words, Dan! @bluemoon. I always appreciate them. Have a beautiful Sunday!
Well, you can't say I'm better than you, even if only in this situation. I know well the effort you make with this community and challenge.
Yes, I have long understood that you have traveled so much helped by your work and this kind of travel is the best and desirable but there are few who can have that. This was your fate and of course, you must be happy that it happened.
I have known people who have traveled all over the world because of their profession. He was a sports journalist and went to all the sports competitions in the world.
Now I already have to wish you a wonderful week!
That would be amazing, of course! Having to travel to sports comptitions! Hurt me, yes? :))
Yes, it is already late there in Bucharest! I wish you a wonderful night!
Yes, it was late, I didn't see this answer again. I'm thinking it's now your night and hopes you have a good rest!
