California for Stefani

I would have to go back into my photo albums to figure out when we first met Bonnie & Grace, but I think it’s been at least 5 years that we have known them.  They are good friends that like to go cruising together.  When you don’t have a spouse to go cruising with, you need to rope your friends into wanting to go too so that you can go vacationing for cheaper than paying a single rate.  We met them on a cruise and have been friends ever since.  They live in California which of course is where we want to move to. 

  Bonnie has an amazing sense of humour and she has endless amounts of one liners.  She has suffered with a number of illnesses in her lifetime but through it all she still has a smile on her face.  We got to see her place earlier this year and it suits her perfectly.  She has such a great love of life and wants to try it all.  We had the best time with her a few years ago on a Caribbean cruise out of New York.  What a blast that was and Doug had a great time going Snuba’ing with her.  Maybe someday we will go on a cruise with her again.

Grace is fun to go vacationing with.   We have been cruising with Grace and her friend Ruth too, which was a blast.   Grace loves to organize things and does a great job with lists, organizing and keeping everyone in order.  It was great to have Grace show us Santa Barbara when we went and did our Southern California road trip.  Grace loves people and seems very relaxed with just about anyone.   It has been a lot of fun vacationing with Grace and hopefully someday we will do it again. 

As you can tell, there isn’t as much I can write about Bonnie & Grace as we don’t live close enough to each other to really get to know each other that well.   Even so, the vacations we have done together have been so much fun.   I hope our friendship will last a long long time and so that we can travel together until we are all too old to leave our old folks home HA HA HA.

Thanks for being such great cruising friends.
