  1. We have been on five world cruises in the last seven years. The longest one was 180 days. When we are not cruising we go to Lyon, France and Las Vegas.

     

    We just got back from 67 days cruise to South America on the Prinsendam. Next week we go to Las Vegas for four nights. Then to the Kentucky Derby early May. To Lyon right after. Then to New York for the Belmont Stakes June 10th. To Bali in July then to Macau, Hong Kong, Belgium. We are never home.

  2. Where did everyone go? I think this thread is on a sleeping mode when I'm not here [emoji51].

     

    Anyway, I'm back from the cruise. It was an amazing cruise. However, while hiking in the jungle in the Amazon I got bite by the mosquito. A day later I had a high fever. Three days later my whole body covered with rash. After the blood test the CDC confirmed that I Zika. The fever last three days, the rash last three days. Zika is not contagious, because not too many people know about it, and because they didn't want any panic so they quarantined me for 10 days. Finally they let me out a day before we debarking.

     

    I'm finally finished unpacking. I will try to post some dresses later.

  3. I am always intrigued by the beautiful dresses you post as well as those of yourself in them. I have a question to ask you about purchasing bras, which I absolutely hate and have a hard time with the fitting of the same. I am a 34 DDD. I have gone to specialty stores, been measured and purchased some before, only to be unsatisfied by the look and feel afterwards. Can you recommend any specific bras that you have purchased in the past that you really like and maybe I can look to see if I can purchase that type somewhere here in Canada. Shopping for bras is my least favourite thing and I often thought about a breast reduction so that I could purchase really cute bras that are commonly found in the local intimate apparel shops. Thanks for any advice on this topic and I apologize if this question is out of line on this board.

     

     

    I buy my bras at this place http://www.wizardofbras.com/.

     

    My are a bit shaggy, so It's depends on the dress, most of the time I use Kim Kardashian's trick by tapping them.

  4. For those of you who are my friends on Facebook, you know the story behind this picture.

     

    For those who are not, this picture was taken in Bali. The ship had an event for around the world cruisers. We did not go. We and two other couples were invited by our friends to spend two days with them. We had our pictures taken by a famous photographer and we got to met the King. 82f72afb955aa2dc8dd90660ea4cc3d7.jpg

  5. Marie,

     

     

     

    Unfortunately, no place soon. My next cruise is the HAL World Voyage in 2018.

     

     

     

    Your Prinsendam cruise around South America is one I want to take sometime. Are you going to report on fb?

    You will meet Don and Lily. A lovely couple, they were on the Insignia this year. We have nothing booked for 2018, but we are planning to book 2019 around the world in 180 day on Insignia. Yes, I will report my upcoming cruise on FB.

     

    Take care and have a fantastic day

  6. Marie, you have some of the most beautiful dresses. I love how elegant you look. You are so generous and giving. May all your kindness come back to you tenfold.

     

     

     

    I noticed you have 747 in your email. Is that a reference to an airplane? I have 737400 in mine.

     

    Would love to follow your fabulous cruises, but can't find you on FB. Do I send you a request to your email or post mine?

     

     

     

    Thank you ReneeFLL. Yes, I used to work on 747 for Northwest. I'm not searchable on Facebook, if you email me your name I will add you.

     

    Take care and have a great day

  7. Hi Marie, I sent you an email about this dress as pink is my favorite color, I have recently lost 28lbs and able to get into Medium size clothes.

     

     

     

    This would be a beautiful dress to wear for my anniversary in December.

     

     

     

    Hopefully it is still available.

     

     

     

    Thanks again for your generosity.

  8. I`m sailing on Cunard`s world cruise sailing out of New York ,Jan. 16, aboard the Queen Elizabeth. Has anyone who has sailed on a similar cruise any tips about which ports of call would allow me to walk or easily taxi off the ship and explore on my own ? I am an experienced cruiser and have sailed many of Cunard`s world segments on the QM2 and the QV. On all of these voyages I have always managed to avoid the shore excursion line ups and enjoy my trip more for doing so...however I am unfamiliar with the ports we will be visiting in Japan, South Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa ,Sri Lanka, and China....any tips would be much appreciated.

     

     

    Hi Willbgone,

     

    We did four world cruises on Cunard. This year we did around the world in 180 days on Insignia. We spent a whole month in East, West and South Africa. We saved a lot of money on private tours, if you like I can give you the name of all the tour companies.
