this is my third time going on this cruise and i’ve failed each time at making friends. Im quiet when im around people i don’t know. Im sick of being and staying in after dinner and i want to make some friends so i can have a good time on my vacation. So how can i be more open

My parents are taking a cruise in January and I’d like to get them something for that but not sure what. Also, I am unemployed so I’m not looking to spend a lot.
Also, my brother and sis-in-law are parents to my favorite niece and nephew. Any ideas?

Or do they just need birth certificates?

We will board in Port Canaveral Florida and return to the same port. I have a passport and just need to know should I get him one or will just his birth certificate be sufficient?

So for the second time in 6 months I had to get stiches in my left knee. Last time I was running and tripped over a railroad tie on xmas eve (d’oh!). The cut was shallow but there was a lot of debris that had to be extracted, and I ended up getting 9 stitches. This time I was trampled by a horse – ripped right to my patella/kneecap. 12 stitches. The pain is much worse than last time – probably because part of my old injury reopened and then some. The worst is getting up after sitting for more than 15 minutes. OUCH. What is that? Is it all the blood rushing back down? Whatever it is, I find it extremely uncomfortable and find mysellf not wanting to stand up. Is this normal?? I don’t remember feeling so bad last time. It’s day 2 and I can barely walk – I leave for a cruise in 3 days. What are the chances that I will feel better enough to go on the jungle hike that I signed up for? I know I can’t swim – bummer. But I was really hoping to do the hike and parasailing seeing as I already pay
many dollars for it.

Can anyone give me a healing timeline? And any tips to heal a bit faster? Right now I am: taking 2 tylenol every 8 hours;; icing my knee (through a gauze) plus the many other bruises I got for 20 min once a day;; washing with soap and water twice a day;; neosporin in the morning, and I leave it uncovered except for when going to the barn to feed horses (limping all the while);; then hydrogen peroxide at night.

will it be advisable to stay on disney prperties, we are a couple 50 plus

My family, includes 11 adults and 2 children. I have no idea where to start in planning a family vacation, any advice?

For Christmas I was thinking of taking my boyfriend on a cruise to Mexico, but I can’t find info on if we need a passport or not.

We want to purchase tix to fly to San Antonio TX to be with the family for Xmas.
I used to be in the travel industry but was in Cruise, and don’t plan to buy through March during Wave Season… so when is a good time. We were thinking about making purchases by May. What are good sites. We are leaving from Miami, but will consider Ft. Lauderdale. Also, this year our son will be 2 soooo we are going to have to get him a ticket. Thanks in advance.

Wife, 5 year old daughter and myself. We live in South Florida, and spend a week in Ocean City New Jersey every summer. We go to PA for a week every Xmas.

Not a beach vacation.
Not a cruise.
Not NJ, PA, or FL.

Thinking Alaska, Montana, Jackson Hole WY. Open to suggestions.
