50 years
thanks for all the good wishes !
indeed , it was 50 years and 1 day ago - hard to believe - but time flies when you are having fun .
in august we have another 50 year anniversary : 50 years in canada - in early august .
(the originator of this thread will have to wait for another year for her 50th 'anniversary' !)
when we got married we had already decided to give canada a try . so going to canada was our 'honeymoon cruise' .
luckily things worked out well ; so here we are 50 years later , still on our honeymoon .
coming to canada sure was the right move for us (also being endorsed by ehbeth , we understand - not that she had much say in that).
thanks again for all your good wishes ... and keep a song in your heart !

just to give you an idea of the size of the ship we were on - Prins Willem III.
this is one of the ships of the dutch 'oranje line' , appr. 1,500 tons (!) , carried 11 passengers , crossing time from rotterdam via le havre to montreal 14 days . there was one dining room , all meals at the captain's table , we felt like millionaires !
