He can't go anywhere because the last time he was on a plane, about 3 years ago, he contracted bronchitis and thought he was going to die. He will be 80 next year.
He has also found out he has macular degeneration. One eye is pretty far gone.
Anyway, he was invited to CA and MX to celebrate a son-in-law's 60th, and just will not fly. But he wants us to consider going on a cruise for his 80th, and he recently 'enjoyed' a bus trip for 2 days from NY to FL with a bunch of other people.

I'm on his shit list for asking him to fly, and we haven't talked for about 3 weeks. It's killing me, but I do share one trait of his, stubbornness. And I know, he's "old", but he's a butt-head.

The minute I call him, he's going to start asking when we can plan a trip on a ship for a cruise. :eyes:
