    I'm sure she will absolutely love the trip.

    Our daughter, Sharon, spent 6 weeks sailing from Ushuaia around to Cape Town via Antarctica on the barque "Europa" early in 2007. Some of the photos she took are absolutely mind blowing.

    For her it was certainly the trip of a lifetime.

    Elisabeth was not happy with me last year. She arranged the trip for us both and then, after all that, I said I didn't want to go.

    Just didn't want to go. I was keen to start then changed my mind. The cost was a factor.

    I'm not really interested in travel any more. (I haven't even driven my Rangie for coming up on two months.)

    Are you OK Ron?
    No, seriously I'm asking if you are OK. It worries me when I hear of people not enjoying what they used to. It is a warning sign of depression.

    Not too sure, myself. I don't post on here much and read very few posts. I'm an Admin on the RRNET and don't visit or do much there either. I'm thinking of resigning from that. I've been an Admin on that forum from soon after it was started. I'm not that interested in even leaving home.

    Please talk to somebody Ron. It's not healthy to stop doing the things you should be enjoying, there has to be a reason.

    I wish her a pleasant journey and happy return! If you ship your camera over to me I'll make sure it will cross the Arctic Circle as well. Right now it's enough snow already down here.
    Cheers
