As some of you may know, Mike & Mary no longer work full-time, but we don’t like to use the word “retired” – we are staying busy! We really enjoy spending time with family, especially our grandchildren; spending time with friends; exercising and staying active; and dancing and teaching dancing.
Of course one of the advantages of no longer working a full-time job is that one has the time to do some traveling. The primary purpose of this travel is rest, relaxation, and exploring. Even though the primary purpose isn’t dancing, we sometimes mix in a bit of dancing, and vintage clothes! Below are a couple of items from Mike & Mary’s latest travel adventures.
o From July 14th – 21st, 2023, Mike and Mary were fortune to make a transatlantic crossing from Southhampton, England to New York on the Queen Mary 2 (QM2). The QM2 is the Cunard Line’s flagship, and is one of the few ocean liners in service capable of a transoceanic crossing. We booked the cruise through Ahoy Vintage Cruises, and were a part of a group of about 60 people that are vintage clothes enthusiasts. Overall, a fun trip, Mike & Mary certainly recommend these Ahoy Vintage Cruises! Click here for more info on that cruise.
o From November 20th – December 3rd, 2024, we were once again fortunate to be onboard the Queen Mary 2 (QM2), this time visiting the lesser antilles islands in the eastern Caribbean. This was not a vintage cruise (although we did book the cruise through Tom Pecena at Ahoy Vintage Cruises). We really enjoyed this cruise! Click here for more info on that cruise.
