The first thing which comes to mind would have to be perservering through an extremely bad pregnancy to have have my son, who truly is the light of my life and has proven to be my best friend since he was 7 or 8 years of age. He was always a wise old man in a child's body,even according to my friends!
I would also have to say that a particularly supperb decision I m ade was taking on a Male dominated trade way back in the 70's: Signwiting and Showcard/window display.
Build my house, then next, buy my car!
Have never regretted either!
Donjo, I've just found your question to me! He worked for Qantas, but now in our 'old age' we're getting over flying o/s to pick up a cruise ships. We took our 1st cruise when a women at my husbands work said she'd just taken her family on a wonderful 7 night Alaskan cruise, & told him how they'd spent 1/2 a day getting ready for the formal night! So my husband found us a 14 night Alaskan cruise, & it just went on from there. Now we'd rather do Sydney return cruises, which are much easier than flying of somewhere to pick up a cruise! We've picked up cruises from Hawaii, San Fransisco, Hong Kong, San Diego (2) & I can't remember where else, at the moment. The Sydney returns? 35 nights around Australia, once each way, 2 NZ ones, & the 35 night south pacific cruise we did about 2 1/2 years ago. The $US was much better back then! Now's it's down to 74 cents. 1 year we didn't go because of a nephews Indian wedding, when 65 of us fly from Sydney to India! This year another nephew is getting married in Bali, so we'll be flying over in early August for that 1. I've also flown to a wedding with my mother, to Belmont US, to Fiji, for a brother-in-laws wedding, & K.L. for a workmate of my husbands wedding. Other non cruise trips? Paris (5) NYC (3) London (3) Greece, Spain, Bangkok, Singapore (2) India, Bali (back packing with our 2 daughters & a friend & her teenage son, in January '95, & that's all I can think of at the moment.

Sorry, I didn't finish answering your question Donjo! The cruise people we use, are the cheapest anywhere, because they only do cruises for people in the travel industry. We're doing a 3rd south pacific cruise, to islands we haven't visited before, (except for the lovely Isle of Pines.) Feb '18, 14 nights, Melbourne return, so we can stay with our youngest daughter down there, before & after the cruise, before returning to Sydney.
Hello miro..... working in the airline industry was always a 'goal' for many.
I've friends' who did FOUR cruises in the last year, one a 66 day cruise!
Enjoy your next cruise!
Here’s 3 of mine-Marring my husband, having our
2 daughters, & going on 11 wonderful cruises, with none involving P&O!
11Cruises? Wow, did you win Lotto?
NO, we didn’t win any! money. We get our cruise through a travel firm which only deals with people in the travel industry. (My husband worked for an airline for 33 years) in fact in 2 & 1/2 weeks, w’re taking our 12 cruise. 5 weeks around lots of pacific islands.
Which Airline did your husband work for? And if you got air discounts, why so many cruises? Just curious!
