The boat for our trip was reasonably comfortable, but the air conditioning was not good. My intrepid travelling companion found it very hot in our cabin. I was slightly too hot but seem to have a body which prefers a little heat. However, I did not enjoy the constant fumes from the engine while we were moored. Of course the engines had to be kept running for the lights and air conditioning. There were several locks along the course of our travelling which were the occasion of loud bangs sometimes in the middle of the night. This was not a problem, just something to savour as a part of the experience. When we were out in the country there was a bit of a problem with the mosquitoes but we had come prepared with repellent and cream for afterwards. This was more a problem for my friend. Strange to say I was bitten one night on my return home and suffered much worse from that than in Russia. On the boat there were many stairs to climb to get to our restaurant, consequently I ended the trip being much fitter than before! As you can see there were few downsides. I did have one more problem; on returning home I found solid land did not suit me. I had had no problems on the boat but arriving home after a few hours sleep I got up and looked out the window only to feel the whole apartment floating down the street!! It took me about four days to recover from that.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
