We met in 1964 during deployment to that little fracas in ‘Nam, She was an Army nurse and I was a Navy corpsman. We tied the knot in ‘65 and haven’t stopped wandering the world since.

Give us a suggestion or two for where we can travel to enjoy our celebration. Our kids and grandkids volunteered to pay for the event, but have limited finances. So, make it economical and in the U.S. or Canada. JCC, New Orleans LA

A: You live in New Orleans, so booking a one-week cruise out of that port would be the most convenient and economical. You have all kinds of choices, from ocean sailings to Mexico and Caribbean, as well as Mississippi River cruises from your town to Minneapolis.

You could use a trusted hometown travel agent for your plans, or scan the internet for all the deals and packages. If your group is large, many cruise lines will offer discounts, such as one travels free for each four paying guests.

Additionally, your cruise ship experience could include a festive anniversary renewal of your marriage vows. Think of your old Navy days when you, your spouse and family celebrate together on deck surrounded by the sea and sky.

Good luck and happy anniversary!
