Mom-6, My girlfriend and I went on a 'Quilt For the Cure" cruise to Alaska in 2006. We had a wonderful time. There were about 125 quilters on the trip. Some brought their husbands. It was fun. My husband didn't want to go. There is a trip to Hawaii in 2012 that we both would like to go on. We'll have to wait and see how the Economy is then. Eiltcoq.
