MARY REICHARD, HOST: Some folks love to go on cruises. But one Australian couple really really love to go on cruises. So much so, they booked 51 back to back trips and spent almost 500 days doing it! Jess Ansen explains to A Current Affair YouTube Channel:
JESS: Where else can you go? You go for dinner, you go to a show, you go dancing, through the day you have all these activities
Along with no cooking, no cleaning, no grocery shopping! They say it’s cheaper to cruise the world for two years than to pay for a retirement home in Australia. And they still meet up with family when ports of call bring them near.
MARTY: This was the perfect answer, really. Go cruising. See the world and meet these people and make lifelong friends. It’s a wonderful life.
The couple plans at least another year just cruisin’ along.
It’s The World and Everything in It.
