I have said Farewell to friends and family a thousand times over the last few months! Also have used the words hope and hopefully more than any other, while trying to maintain a smiling face.
Dinner in the City with cousin Cathy and Peggy. It was a twofold celebration. Peggy also has big changes coming - she is moving to Bainbridge Island in Seattle, Washington! Oh, I know she is going to miss our Hugs!!!
Hope to see both these buddies visiting on the ship soon!
Today was such a special day, because I got to spend it with a great family I have come to adore! Stacy the ship's spa manager and I became good friends, from our first meeting! We have had so many laughs and long chats over my numerous appointments, I love my spa time! I've been lucky enough to meet her sweet sister Sharon and her boys Dylan and Ryan , when they visited the ship last November and today I got to meet Linley , Sharon's hubby and their Dad, Roland , who is visiting from Mauritius . We got together at their home in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, for a special feast to celebrate Linley's Birthday and this mini family reunion, since we were in Melbourne.
Melbourne is great, I'm so glad we got more time here. Bosco planned a fun night of exploring for us! We took the tram into the CBD, and got off at the Yarra River Promenade , just as the sun was setting.
Happy St. Patty's Day All!
