Bon Voyage - isn't that what they say?


This is the Grand Princess. Last night we went to a wonderful resturant on Kings Road called Blue Bird with Kylie and Ed. The expensive wine flowed and decided to spend a fortune calling Ciara and Keenan! Woke up so early after really weird dreams of being on a ship. I walked around and saw tables full of sun tan lotion. The next thing my friend Marge, her daughter, my cousin Lynda and my friend Julia appeared to holiday with me. Then Kylie and my Dad appeared. Kylie was furious and told them I was supposed to do this journey on my own (??? makes one think). My Dad passed away a year ago... he was a taxi driver. I saw him standing there drinking coffee.. He was fed up that he could have charged them 400 quid, but couldn't because they were friends.
Then I realised it must be a dream because my father was dead.... then I woke up!
Strange but true. Yesterdays dream was that I adopted a down syndrome baby that had the same surname as me.... what's that about?
I am packed... basically it's everything I own. There are formal nights, but the cocktail dresses will have to do. I'm really positive about this cruise. It is a real unknown. I feel that if I can do Turkey alone then I can do a cruise. I'm particularly looking forward to Rome. My good old Catholic guilt will kick in I'm sure. It is very exciting and I am very aware of how lucky I am to be in this position right now. It won't last as I will need to get a job, but for now I am enjoying every minute.
Leaving at 10am for Clapham Junction, then a train to Southampton. We sail at 4pm.
Will try to keep my blog up to date. I know there is an internet cafe on the ship. Wireless is available but it will be expensive...
Hope I don't lose my sea legs! hee hee
