I just got this at Lord and Taylor for $40; couldn't pass it up. I think I'm going to wear this for dinner on Valentines Day; we have a reservation at Murano on Silhouette.

You look terrific in every dress; I particularly like the short blue cocktail dress and the long purple one!

We were in 861 on Navigator and felt little or no vibration. Have a great trip.

My New Year's resolution this year was to use the treadmill every day. Since 1/1 I missed only one day (yesterday) and have lost 7.5 pounds, tipping the scales at 138. Normally I tevo something and watch it while on the treadmill, averaging 45 to 60 minutes. We leave on our cruise today and I feel wonderful about the weight loss and how I look. I'm up early so I can hit the track before we leave!

We prefer the late seating. We eat late regularly because I don't get home from work until about 7 (the long commute). On vacation, I don't want to hurry back from an excursion to be ready for dinner at 6 - and we enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail, or two at leisurely pace.

Well I'm 50 and my dh is 62 - he's retired and I am on the 4 year plan retirement or the package whatever happens first. We've been cruising for a couple of years now, dh thought he would hate it; turns out that he loves it and wouldn't consider anything less than 10 days now. We have two booked cruises coming up - the Noordam out of NYC on 2/22/06 (it's the inaugrial cruise). Really looking forward to this one since we live in CT and requires no plane travel. We also have a 12 day booked on the Crystal Symphony in July 2006 Athens to Venice. This one is kind of our dream trip; once we do this one we will likely just do Caribbean since we both love the warm weather. We still have kids at home:eek: the only time this plays in our favor is when we need a pick up at the pier. LOL!

Last cruise, I lost 4 pounds. Hit the gym every day; swam in the pool and took the stairs. Had dessert each day (my husband and I shared one) but did have cocktails and wine each day. Mostly ate fish. With the exception of the desert, pretty much the same as we do at home but I don't get to exercise every day.

Smoked Salmon, lots of capers, onions and tomatoes and a large cup of hot coffee - Yummmm!;)
