We took the dog for a year in 88. Then we took two kids in the early 90's for a half year-cruise, to the Bahamas. The dog was easier(kids were fun), we wouldn't go without a dog(or two).

I wonder how many are doing the 'second time around' cruise? Friends in town are headed to Mexico for their second cruise, now decades after a first as 'young people'.

Can we do it again? Do we, want, to do it again? Here's their blog.
