Especially since I don't have children that could come collect me or make decisions for me over the phone, if I couldn't. I asked the tour guide at the lecture what they do when someone can't continue with the group because of an illness and she said, they strongly advice you to buy the travel insurance before you go and Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-31591774654391714362014-11-10T02:15:36.356-05:002014-11-10T02:15:36.356-05:00I haven't been to Nantucket, but I have visite...I haven't been to Nantucket, but I have visited Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. My sister used to live in New England. I remember getting a cup of clam chowder in a little shed/tiny building as soon as we got off the ferry on Martha's Vineyard. Yum!<br /><br />I agree. I'd rather travel in the US than abroad (and I too remember Dinah Shore).

That's like totally awesome!!<br />I'm going to play dueling memories because I think the "See the USA in your Chevrolet" jingle may have been sung by Dinah Shore rather than Doris Day.

That's totally cool. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.<br /><br />Genealogy isn't an interest of mine at all. I know of no one in my family that cares either.
