Amy's Story
I didn't get a chance to attend Minerva High School because I moved after 8th grade. The only way to see some connections from my time period was to put that school in.
USMC -- It was 22 years of worldwide fun! Walking inside the Great Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt; getting attacked by large monkeys on Ia Jima Island, Japan; living with my whole family for three years in Okinawa, Japan. Who could ask for more?
I continued to work after military retirement, specifically to finance my next trip. One summer was at Disney World with some of the grandkids. The summer 2010 trip to Scotland was canceled, and poor Bo couldn't play the Old Course. :( Looking ahead to 2011 -- we discussed a cruise along eastern South America or an all-inclusive resort in Brazil or New Zealand. My vote was a land trip in Europe, but there were 4 of us, and not my turn to choose.
9/2/11 Update: My travel plans keep getting ruined!!! We had adjoining *suites* reserved ...Expand for more
for a Brazilian cruise in Feb 2012, but the cruise lines changed their itinerary dates, which blew up our availability dates. We are waiting for Steve's next vacation "lottery/scheduling" to see if we can get our Fiji/Australian cruise later in 2012. I have my fingers crossed! ;)
6/22/2023 -- How time flies! I retired from USMC after 22 years, retired from Federal Civil Service after ten years (at 58!), took early Social Security, and managed to complete 34 cruises until COVID hit. I got as far NE into the Baltic to Russia, sailed around Spain and Italy in the Western Mediterranean, floated as far south as Belize, north to Newfoundland and Alaska, and even did a few Transatlantic crossings. I still haven't made it to Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore -- thanks again to COVID canceling me. I'm glad I retired early and got much traveling done before 2019! Will I ever mark Machu Picchu, Peru, or Antarctica off my bucket list? I doubt it.
