A later in life second chance romantic comedy This is not the fiftieth birthday gift I wanted… My daughter and her new husband gifted me an incredible all-inclusive vacation cruise. As I started reading the itinerary, I knew them bailing on me at the last minute was no accident. My darling meddling daughter booked me on a singles cruise! Meeting men wasn’t an issue, finding a prince instead of a frog, seemed more difficult than winning the lottery. Even though I’d never admit it to anyone, I compare all men to my first love. We’d promised to love each other till the end of time. Yet when he joined the military and I went to college, we drifted apart. There was no point in completing the questionnaire or participating in any of the match making activities. You don’t find love like I had twice in a lifetime. That’s why once this ship docks on the first island, I’m hopping on a flight back home where I belong.
