We are finally headed out on our honeymoon on Monday September 17. We are off to Greece for four weeks - Athens for 4 days, chartering a sailboat to reach some of the Greek islands for a week, a week on Rhodes and a week on Crete. We will arrive back home on October 15. We are looking forward to a relaxing, restful time seeing lots of the ancient sites.
I am a retired nurse who was born and raised on the prairies in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. I have two children, Leila and Scott and one son-in-law Ryan. Since meeting Griff in 2004 my life has been a whirlwind of travel, country living and new relationships with 4 children, 7 grandchildren and a dog (Katie). One of my dreams in the past was to sail around the Greek islands. The Greek islands were visited in September 2007 (no sailing). Now I can't believe that I am going to be sailing around the world.
I am a retired Psychologist/Network Technician/Electronics & Computer Technician born in Ontario. After travelling in the military for 20 years, in 1984 I retired in Penhold, Alberta, where I worked as a Network Technician for 7 years before attending the University of Calgary to eventually become a forensic psychologist. I am more than blessed with 4 wonderful children, Anne Marie, Julie, Rob and Jason (oldest to youngest), and with 2 sons-in-law, Shane and Graham. Along with them I have 7 grandchildren I love dearly and now, with my marriage to my soul-mate Cheryl I am gratefully building relationships with Cheryl's 2 children and her son-in-law. When people hear of what we are doing they often ask if this has been a life-long dream and the answer is a resounding NO. If, however, someone had asked me long ago and far way if I thought I would ever have all that I have now - my marriage, my children and grandchildren, the education that enabled me to become a psychologist, becoming a forensic psychologist, finding my soul-mate, having our acreage as a dream home to come back to and lastly owning a boat on which we will hopefully have many adventures (all in warm climates!!!), the answer then would have been a resounding NO! I am truly blessed!
