Cabin fever at sea leaves one thinking of going home

Mary Wakefield Buxton

By now we were on our second week of our cruise. I recommend just one week of a cruise.

We were tired. Eating too much rich food, drinking too much wine, exposure to too much tropical sunshine, and finally, the daily Dramamine one swallows to help erase that funny feeling that isn’t funny, were all taking their toll.

Also, no matter how big your stateroom is, after a week, living in close quarters with your loving spouse gets old. It seemed to me that my husband was always in the way whenever I tried to move across the room and certainly, he must have felt the same about me.
