On a cruise with PMR

We thought a cruise would be a good idea so that I could just rest in our cabin when I got tired. The reality: since it was a last minute decision rooms were limited and we like quiet. Our room is in the far front and meals are in the far back - so we walk the length of the ship for meals. This I found very tiring. This is a large ship.

We planned "easy" excursion by bus  but we meet in a large auditorium then we rush down stairs, in hoards, to the gangplank. I find this exhausting. So: my husband advised the tour director and I will get handicap seating and preference. I brought my walking poles so I can lean on them. I look too healthy. Nothing hurts on 8.75 pred.

We are visiting: BarHarbor, ME; Charlottesville, PEI; Quebec; Halifax;St Johns, NB; Portland, ME and back to Bayonne,NJ. 

I just feel disappointed this requires more energy than I thought- but will adapt. We are half way through and night encounter a hurricane.
