Well, I never went to 'Uni', never had a 'Gap Year', just like millions of women my age! BUT, I was approaching that ' Big Birthday', 60! What should I do? " Let it pass by," was my answer. Get away on my own, and just let slip past without anyone knowing. "Yes", that's what I would do.
April 2013.
Well ,it's arriving in a couple of weeks. I had booked myself on a 'Far East Cruise', on my own. Then, change of heart. "Why am I trying to pretend this isn't happening?" " Hey, I must embrace this year". So many people are not fortunate enough to even reach their '60th Birthday'. A party, that's what I'll have!
A great 'Tea Dance' was had by all, ( well most- there's always one!) I had a great time! Old friends, new friends, school friends and family, I loved it!!
Off on the cruise I went. It was wonderful. Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China and Japan. The whole thing was so great but most importantly, I did it on 'my own'. How liberating is that! For any woman travelling alone, it's a safe way to travel.
Not only was the cruise and the places we saw wonderful, I met this wonderful man, Clive. He lives in Florida and now a possible ' new life' for me begins....
Good luck Mum!
