The Brilliance (OTS)

Brilliance

of the Seas is a ship which I haven’t been on since 2010. At that time, it could only be said as the worst ship/cruise I had ever taken. Partly from the fellow passengers and mostly from crew attitude. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that way since there have been serious changes on the ship since then.

Anyway – I am headed across in the company of others. It is one of those times when I could kick myself for not having travel insurance since there is enough going on at home that I might rather be staying.

In any case –

I haven’t ever sailed out of Tampa – so that is the “port” that is new to me.
When you read this – I will be underway….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
