Your cruise sounds great Cynthia . We are in Corfu today and its 98 , so so hot.Just had a greek salad in town and my husband got me a new bangle, lucky. I bet your getting excited Lois .

Hi from Gythion , Corfu tomorrow. Sorry to read of your surgery Melody. We are having a good cruise . Been living in very cool dresses . I pre ordered my meal from Milan to Singapore on Singapore Airlines , ravioli 🙂 Their business class was great on our way here , very lucky

Hello from Rome,I think it was Cynthia who recommended the Albergo del Senato hotel,we are here and it’s great.We have a view over the Pantheon and a little terrace,we are going to dinner next door tonight, I am glad you were able to book another tour Cynthia ,although not the one you wanted

Enjoy tour cruise Cynthia , annoying about the excursion but it will still be wonderful. Very funny today , we drove to Monaco and the Regent seven seas Mariner was there , we board her in Rome on Monday 🙂

I also took Covid tests with me as I would not want to spread it through out the ship,also took some paxlovid as I am immune compromised.I would like to think people would be honest but somehow I think some may not test ,that’s life!

Just got off the Sojourn a few days ago . No testing required to board anymore , I wasnt aware of any covid on board until reading this. Heard a few coughs but thats all. Had a lovely relaxing time

Hello from Lucca,just catching up on all the posts. What lovely wedding photos Melody. Mum and I had a great cruise and meeting my husband with the car in Civitechia went all to plan,we drive to St Paul,de Vence tomorrow. PS I have worn Nars tinted moisturiser for a few years,I wore the colour Gronenland but now wear the colour Alaska.I also use Nars foundation if I need more coverage and like the feel. Sorry to read about your friends accident in Florence Kat,how awful for her

Hi from Barcelona ,safe travels Melody . We arrived yesterday and the time zone change is huge,managed to stay up and sleep with the help of medication .Our cruise starts tomorrow so we will take it easy today as my mother is finding it tiring .Sagrada Familia then relax . Good luck with holiday planning Kat

Always good to keep on top of things Lois ,I think my radiologist saved my life. My mother and I leave in two days for our cruises and trip to France,I can't believe its finally here! Good luck with the ants Kat ,you certainly don't want to poison your friends the squirrel! Sherri enjoy your sons visit.

Just googled it and its at the hotel we are staying at!

Loving your posts , what is the restaurant in Piazza Navonna called ? We are heading to Rome and last time had a few terrible meals. Enjoy your cruise !

Thanks for the tips , will clear out apps etc and I have purchased two small cooling scarves .

Kat I took some tortillas from trader joes in San Francisco back to NZ , we love them as flour and corn . I started packing yesterday , looks so hot in Europe at present , I purchased a fan with batteries and a water sprayer to take , ugly but hopefully helps . Last thing to buy is a power pack for my iphone as its not lasting as long . I got a new ipad in San Fran so cant quite justify a new phone as well !

Im convinced ! Just ordered us apple airtags

Hi Kat my husband is the same , so tired . He hasnt ever tested positive for covid though , just had a nasty virus. All set for my cruise , just thinking about buying an apple airtag , anyone tried one ?

Hi Melody your weather sounds like ours,we’re away at the lake for the weekend and it’s raining again,by the way lovely garden photos and a great idea to protect your pots with the umbrellas. My mother and l leave on our trip two weeks today,it’s been a long wait . Cynthia exciting news about your Rome booking,I’m pretty sure it was you that recommended the Albergo del Senato where we ending up booking and are staying at. Kat you sound like my husband with the dentist,he’s had a filling replaced three times and got a crown last week,so pricey.I just remembered last time we were in Rome he broke his tooth on a sandwich at the train station! I forgot to say when I was in San Francisco I found a gold sequin top at Bloomingdale’s on sale for $50 for the formal wedding and have got some wide leg black pants to wear with it,Bloomingdale’s is closing there soon so a few bargains,I’ll take the outfit on the cruise as well Enjoy your weekend everyone

Hello everyone.I arrived back from San Francisco this morning. I finally tried Noosa yogurt ,it was only on the shelf in Vanilla but was very nice. I was hoping to shop in San Francisco for my Europe trip but it is so sad, so many shops have closed or are closing .The Westgate Mall downtown is closing at the end of August ,apparently there is too much crime.Sad that such a wonderful city has changed so much. We went over to Sausalito and it felt much safer ,although very chilly on the ferry! I did try my new bag and it worked very well .

Just enjoy your cruise !

If you have had covid in the last three months you should be fine I hear.

I know what you mean about coughing nowadays ,you feel like you have to explain yourself. My husband and I wore masks mostly last year but it did create a barrier and its the first cruise where we didn't really make friends ,although it was nice.

Congratulations on your 50th anniversary Sherri ,we are only 35 years this year and how wonderful to do a family cruise. Dentists sound just as expensive over there as here in NZ . My covid isolation is almost over, not sure about the USA but we still have to isolate for 7 days .My symptoms have been mild and thankfully no one else has got it . Ive been watching Queen Charlotte on Netflix and really enjoying it. Not much chance of different outfits but we have been invited to a wedding in September and the dress code is formal ,will have to start looking .

It sounds like an easy and relaxing first day,I look forward to reading about your long awaited cruise.

Haha ,Yes that is correct . Was a great cruise.You must be excited , we still have five weeks to wait.

I decided the excursion is better with my mother , my husband and I would probably get a taxi. Before covid my husband and I started a Seabourn cruise in Amsterdam and it finished in Copenhagen , a beautiful city. If I remember correctly you were on the sane cruise but we never met .

We decided to book the Seabourn excursion to Mdina and Valletta. SLSD we do also overnight in Valletta. I think I read you are cruising this month? Please enjoy. My mother and I both have covid at present for the first time , better now than in 5 weeks !
