This is my wish:
I haven't been out of New Zealand for forty years, nor on a plane for seven. So it was a big thing to decide to do a personal 'rite of passage' for my 60th birthday this year. Late August I am flying from a small rural NZ city, to the Bahamas to live on a small boat for 5 days with 11 friends (that I have yet to meet), swim with the beautiful Atlantic spotted dolphins each day, then return across America via train for two days.

This is very BIG for me and scary too. It is also costing far more than I thought. I don't own a camera or mobile, yet to keep safe and in touch with my family, I need a cellphone at least.

I absolutely love the Apple iphone - it speaks my language and I know I could learn to use it with coaching. The camera could capture all the memorable moments and people, and I always google if I got lost.

An iphone would become my personal companion, organizer and "security blanket" while on the move, and it would also help to launch me into the last, and hopefully best, third of my life.

It would be so neat to have one.
