I can understand Gayle. I'm so tired of being hot. Granted...some of it may be due to hormones, but seems like I can't take a few steps without perspiring. This cool weather we're having right now is wonderful. I woke up to temps of 51 degrees....can't you believe it? I love this cool weather....so I know what it's like to long for a favorite time.
One week won't be so bad. Are ships air conditioned? Maybe you can take some things to do inside while Gary and his sisters have fun outside. I've never been on a cruise so I don't have very good advice.
