This sort of holiday — cruise
one way, drive the other —
is an excellent way to sce our
North Country. lor people
living outside Vancouver it’s
great — especially for those
who dislike flying.

There's a real ‘‘Com-
monwealth of Nations’’
scheduled for the Alaska run
— British, American, Greek,
ftalian, Dutch, French and
Norwegian. Since the ships
teflect the food and customs
of the native country you
could easily base your choice
on this. Mind you, Princess
Cruises and perhaps others
have turned their kitchen
Italian. Wisely.

Now for news of another
cruise — perhaps a once-in-
a-lifetime opportunity. The
Vancouver Maritime
Museum has arranged to
have use of the owner's
Quarters aboard the
Warschau, a cargo ship, for
a 72-day trip for two, leav-
ing mid-June.

The ship may be boarded

Youth

ON APRIL 28, the Senior
Orchestra of the Vancouver
Youth Symphony will give
its final performance to
finish off a successful
season.

Conducted by Marlin
Wolfe, this group will be
performing Sibelius’ Finlan-
dia and Dvorak’s New

at any one of four ports
(Vancouver, Harmac
(Nanaimo), Kitimat or Port
Alberni). From there it goes
through’the Panama Canal
to Antwerp. Felexistowe
(U.K.), Newport (near Car-
diff, Wales) and Brake
(Germany).

The quarters include a
dayroom and full en-suite
plumbing. There will be no
other passengers. The cruise
is one-way.

The tickets for two cost
$11,000 with all profits go-
ing to support the Maritime
Museum. For more informa-
tion, call the Museum (ask
for the Maritime Museum
when you reach the switch-
board) at 736-4431. Or call

And, finally, as a response
to a column several weeks
ago about single travel. I'd
mentioned that cruise ships
aren't necessarily the best
places for single women to
meet men. At least for other
than a short-term relation-
ship.

One caller phoned in a

warning. ‘Barbara. think
twice before allowing your
young daughters to go on
cruises."*

“‘My young sister took a
Caribbean cruise eight years
ago. You were right — not
too many young male pas-
sengers so she teamed up
with a young crewman. |
don’; know how it happened
so fast but a few months
later she married him and
went to live in Europe. We
haven’t seen her since but
she seems very happy.”’

I've taken the warning to
heart, especially since a
friend of mine did exactly
the same thing. She lived in
New Jersey, took a Caribbe-
an cruise aboard an Italian
ship and in short-order mar-
ried an Italian crew member.

The last time ! saw Donna
she was living in Genoa,
raising two kids and working
in the family trattoria. Can
you believe she hasn’t even
taught her kids to speak
English? When her mother
comes to visit she can’t talk
to her grandchildren!
Mamma mia!
