working in the Labour Ministry in the Government of India and has retired from there and so also her husband and are living in Delhi. Nirmalaben wanted to have an eye operation as her eyes were not treated properly by the doctors in Delhi so she had asked me what to do. I had advised her to come to Mumbai and consult Dr. Kulin Kothari of the Bombay Eye Clinic. His treatment was successful partially but the damage earlier done was so much that she could not get 100% sight back but she was very grateful to me for having arranged this treatment with Dr. Kulin Kothari.
THE JOURNEY 101
Alaska Cruise
Subsequently, a few of us i.e. four couples - myself & Bhagwati, Mr. Manubhai Bhakta & Ramilaben, Mr. Shantikumar Dalal & Hansaben, Mr. Nalinbhai Vissanji & Nirmalaben and Mr. V.B. Haribhakti went on a tour to Calgary mountains and cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. This was a very enjoyable tour and the Calgary mountains and Bamf area are very scenic. We took the Princess Line boat from Vancouver to Alaska. This was most enjoyable. We even took a helicopter ride to see the fjords.
Princess Line has excellent service, food is excellent, state rooms and suites are excellent and scenery in the Alaska Bay is really wonderful. However, unfortunately Mr Nalin Vissanji took ill and I had to arrange for him to be transported to the hospital on the Canadian border town. Princess Line doctor whom we consulted said that he had to be transported to the main land hospital, so it was arranged that he would disembark on a barge and a helicopter from there would take him to the hospital at the nearest Canadian town. So both Mr & Mrs Vissanji left the boat. Nalin Vissanji was met at the hospital by one of his relatives living in USA and after the treatment in the hospital he went and spent a few days with him before returning. The rest of us proceeded to our destination in Alaska and from there we took a three day tour of Alaska and then returned to India.
Cruises Australia-New Zealand and the Mediterranean The next year we planned a tour to Indonesia, Bali and a 14 day cruise from Sydney to Auckland in New Zealand. We had to go about the whole of the island of New Zealand and at the southern tip we came near Antarctica. We visited a few towns in New Zealand and really we were impressed by
