That is sad news.  I imagine you would have been very good at your business pre pedantic.  Your daughters would have appreciated your help.

Where to when you are off again?

We had built it up to being a very busy, profitable business.  We had plans of selling at the end of 2020 and retiring but of course you can't sell a business that is not operating so we just had to close it down. 

Not sure which direction we will head, don't really care, we will look at housesitting our way around Australia and camping in between.

Hi Eileen,  Nobody could come up with that nam except you  Good to see you back on CC.  I thought of you when I was in Cairns pre cruise and hoped all was well with you.  

We left Cairns a few years ago. Covid destroyed our business (along with 75% of Cairns) so we left, bought a caravan and intended to travel around Australia.  Got as far as Townsville and our plans changed. Our daughter needed help with her girls as her business was getting too busy for her and her staff. We are now down in Brisbane helping for a few years. Then we will be off again.

Hi everyone...... I'm back. I haven't been on here for quite a while. The email address my account was hooked up to was an old one, so old Telstra cancelled it so l couldn't get back on here. I have rejoined using the name close to my old one so everyone knows who l am. 

We went on the Coral in July which was wonderful as we hadn't been on her since 2010 when we did the Panama Canal.  We are booked on Quantum in Feb out to the islands. 

Great to see everything getting back to precovid days in regards to cruising.

Cheers Eileen
