Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ginger, I think a cruise would be an easy way to go. They're very used to people with mobility issues. As for picking one, you should probably talk to a travel agent. I can talk to my husband's family -- they go on a lot of cruises, have difficulty walking, and like their food plentiful and blandish [in my opinion] -- to see if they have any recommendations.
I wonder if consumer reports has any recommendations? Let me check...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My company was doing a project with the cruise company, I had to go on the ship and train/educate the staff that would be marketing/selling the product. I was on the ship for 3 days of a 7 day "repositioning cruise" and it was relaxing, but not fun.

I have pondered the idea of proposing that they get a larger ocean-view room and my getting whatever the cheapest interior room is. My other theory is that I can spend a lot of time in a shipboard bar.

Ginger, to be serious, a friend recently went on a cruise with her mother. Now ... her mother is in excellent health and they get along very well together, so it's a different situation.
Would you like me to ask which cruise line? I do remember her saying that the median age on the cruise was older, to put it nicely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Shipboard bars are awesome.
I remember internet access as being expensive on the cruise.
My only concern would be what is going on in the ports, relative to mobility. I imagine most would have some sort of bus tour available (for an additional price), but you should pay attention to that ahead of time.

That would be great, Todd. I've been looking at all this stuff online and feel, well, at sea.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not a cruise, but my mom and her friends all love these kinds of guided bus tour thingies. [link]

Amych, a woman in my neighborhood has a giant pig that she dresses in a tutu. I swear. Weirdest thing I've seen all month.
