I know this is old news now, but yours truly is in it!

Indulge me - there is a brief shot of me in Cruise terminal last Monday when we were waiting anxiously to board the ship in Belfast. I am chatting with my new friend Richard Mawson, from the UK , who I just met there and he joined us for a brief, but action packed 5 days. Below is some of the ways we pass the time while at sea. So many choices and never enough time, the days truly Sail by!!!

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.
