My feet normally swell on cruises, last time they were so swollen I had to wear crocs to dinner.

I attributed it too much salt, I was drinking 2 bottles of water and sleeping with my feet elevated. Mom of course said it was gout and to stop drinking beer, always the positive thinker. :rolleyes:

It took a few days after I was home for the swelling to go down, I asked my doctor he just shrugged it off, saying it could have been a combination of salt and heat.

This cruise will be north so the heat shouldn't be a problem will just watch cut back on ice in the drinks.

Rorygirl,

thanks for the great idea, I put bubbles on my list. Not sailing until Aug, and by then the idea of bringing bubbles will be forgotten. I am sure your grandson loves the bubbles but my dd who is 17 may not find as much excitment in the bubbles. I will get the usual "you are dork stare" when I am happily blowing bubbles from our balcony.

thanks again for a great idea
