Our Trip to Oxford

I have to say cruising is easy. We unpack once and the rest is history. But to spend time in a city, we usually go it on our own. That means lugging suitcases on and off trains or whatever mode of transportation. We started our trip to Oxford with a train ride from Southampton. IContinue reading “Our Trip to Oxford”

A balancing act

How do you balance work and home life I worked hard all my life. I was a single mom for 10 years during my working years and yes the balancing act was challenging.

My engagement ring was actually given to me on our 10th anniversary. Still another thing is my pocketbook. It’s a baggallini. Great for traveling. Now my oldest pieceContinue reading “Oldest thing?”

Cobh- Ireland

It’s been a rough passage the past two days but the Captain on the Caribbean Princess brought us to Ireland a little late but safe and sound! We had 20 ft swells last night and the ship was rockin’ and rollin’. It was formal night and we had cocktail hour for platinum and elites. WeContinue reading “Cobh- Ireland”

Leader or Follower

Are you a leader or a follower? I can’t say I’m great at following. I tend to dance to a different drum and sometimes I’m like a pied piper. In business, I owned my own for the last 10 years of my working career and intermittently during my entire work career. I like to beContinue reading “Leader or Follower”
