(Fwd) International Convention?

[John Ross]

How about a Convention, on a cruise ship?
That way the spouses could just laze around, and relax.
Mind you they can laze around now, but a cruise ship would be more
fun.
My wife, won't go to conventions with me, anymore. She says
it is no fun if there is nothing arranged, for while I am in class.
