Oh guys, I don’t even know what to say. I’ve been away, for obvious reasons, and I’m feeling so grateful to be welcomed back.

Naturally, the loss of the Evil Twin was horrific. And I know that each and every one of you has been through something similar.

 

 

Christy will always be in my heart, my life and my soul. No one will replace her. Ever.

 

 

But, when she did that “thing” we had a cruise on the books –a 14 day Alaska on the Rotterdam. Myfriend Robin, who was not a traveler, agreed to come with me, I think mainly as a kindness. She actually got her first-ever passport for the occasion.

 

We went, we saw, we conquered. It was bittersweet, and I cried in the bathroom more than once. But it really was OK.

 

 

Different, as everything is now, butwe really did have a great time.

 

 

Christy and I had a 30-year timeshare in Cabo and this last December was the 30th year. I REALLY wanted to go. To spend that last year in the place we’d called home for more than half my life. Robin, once again, stepped up. And then fell down. Actually, she broke her knee a week or so before our trip. It looked like it wouldn’t happen.

 

 

But, armed with a portable wheelchair, crutches and a lot of hutzpah, she and I took Cabo by storm.

 

 

I didn’t review the Alaska trip because it was too soon, andthe Cabo thing wasn’t a cruise, so…

 

 

Next up – 10 day Caribbean on the Koningsdam (not sure it’s myship but we’ll see). I’m heat-averse sothat’s another issue entirely!

 

 

Robin is more Miller Lite and Merlot than Chardonnay but I think there will be enough to write about!

Try "paste without formatting". With my Macbook, I paste without formatting by pressing the shift, alt, command and v at the same time instead of pressing just command v.

 

 

Pasting without formatting has prevented some run on words and odd line feeds on my Cruise Critic posts.

Thank, Whogo. It keeps deleting spaces between words. I make enough errors on my own without having to cop to ones that aren't my fault!

If you’re up for it, I’d love to read it! I’m glad you found a traveling friend.

Diann...I, too, would love to read your review! I’m so glad you have a friend to cruise with...even if she doesn’t drink Chardonnay! I always loved The Chardonnay Sisters reviews!
