Good for you Arfa!!! Sounds like a great idea.
I had another question about taking trips after you posted this:

Truth is we are getting old, and it really isn't for oldies travelling long distances just to have a holiday, next time not so far.
Is there any possibility that a set of your kids/grandchildren could accompany you on one for the more strenuous holidays? The reason I ask is this. My folks found it very had to travel once they hit their seventies (course we took many, many holidays together before that) & eighties. They'd bring us along (we paid for our share/or did sweat equity & extras...or food) and we'd handle all the luggage, shopping, driving & accessed any special needs.
That's how we got to take the wonderful cruise all over the Meditterrean, Israel, Turkey, Crete, Naples, Rome, the Vatican, Rhodes and Cyprus. (We also accompanied them to Hawaii several times and we all had so much fun...well until Rex made us take him to the grocery store & he demaned a roast beef and read all the labels - EEKSS)
We got the Phyllix into the Vatican by elevator & found wheelchair access & got to see the Sistine Chapel. Course we were supposed to have dumped the wheelchair before then, but then the guards couldn't have a proper "cow" in their costumes made of over 140 pieces...laffing so hard.
Just a thot. Thanx, I enjoyed that trip down lovely memory lane. xoxox
