No drinks for me

Sorry the blog has been a long while in coming, but I have been a bit poorly, which meant me spending 10 days in Colchester Hospital at the beginning of October with acute pancreatitis. I am now at home resting and trying to get my energy back.

So what has all this got to do with cruising I hear you all ask ?

Well, the two main causes of the above are gall stones or alcohol, both of which have been ruled out in my case.

But as part of my recovery plan, I have been told " no alcohol for six months"

And guess what ? Yes, there is a cruise booked (Northern Lights) that falls in that six month period 

So it will be a first for me, a cruise and no alcohol :-(

Still it could be worse
