How long was your first cruise?

7 days in 1973 to celebrate my birthday .Round trip NY to Hamilton Bermuda on the Cunard Ambassador. -
I do not think so.If you are at the front of the cruise port and cross the street-walk 1/2 block East there was the bar that had an upstairs and a downstairs.The upstairs was sort of open and it was non stop music. Somewhere in my house I have a coaster that I took home as a souvenir. I think that Hogs Penny was in the middle of the street

As I have posted before,when my father came to the US in 1913 he was a Soccer player and played in the Immigrant Soccer League in NY.Players were from many different European countries and all spoke their native language.My father learned bits of several.He was also working in a factory where most of the employees were Italian and eventually became fluent in several languages.His best friend ,my godfather was Italian and I learned a lot about Italy at a very young age.

I have never been to Italy but when I had the 25 year job nearly every person working there was born in Italy and would tell me about where they grew up and it was almost like me being there.Plus every time they went back on vacations they sent me postcards and I have about 300 that I often look at.

I have tremors with both hands.I have to hold a cup or a glass with both hands.Holding a cordless phone while conversing is not to easy .I use the Speaker function at times but I do not really care for that .Therefore,most of the conversations that I used to have by phone are currently texting or e-mail but my hands tend to shake to the point of having to re-write.
