Life in Geezerville: The Adventure Begins

Tomorrow morning we are getting up at zero-dark-thirty and heading for our local airport where we'll catch the first of two flights to St. Paul, MN. The next day we will board The American Serenade and sail down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. We've been on small portions of river in New Orleans and Tunica, MS before...but we've never sailed the whole river. It's something that the other DrC has wanted to do in a very long time.

And, it's been a long time coming too. We made the reservsations the first time right before Covid arrived on our shores. Needless to say, the cruise was postponed. And, it was postponed the next year and the year ater that. One summer I canceled the cruise with the idea that I would schedule it when we were "covid-safe." That day arrived early last summer when we made this set of reservations. Lucky for us, the cruise has not been postponed or canceled. The river cruise is finally going to happen tomorrow. We are a more than a little bit excited

As you know, we've been on many river cruises in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, so it's about time we start exploring our local "big river." We will be making stops most everyday, so watch this spot to find out what on earth we are up to now. I hope to have pictures too. Lastly, I hope y'all get inspired to go on a river cruise too, because it's important for geezers to have plans. Remember, we're all in this together. (photographs courtesy of American Cruise Lines)
