Final Battles – [09/09/2013]

Secrets and Surprises – Barcelona, Spain – [08/30/2013]
So….as most of you know ….I had a secret. Well the truth is I have lots of secrets, and many of them belong to people other than myself. I’m kind of the Bank of England when it comes to secrets, … Continue reading
Three Coins in a Fountain – Rome, Italy – [08/26/2013]
Three hearts in a fountain Each heart longing for its home There they lie in the fountain Somewhere in the heart of Rome Nearly two years it’s been since I last stepped into Rome. The last time – as everyone … Continue reading
Sleep Overs – Naples, Italy – [08/25/2013]
I had a slumber party last night! Well…sort of. My roommate and I had the shipboard equivalent of a slumber party. Oddly enough this contract I’m not rooming with someone from my own department, instead my roomie is a lovely … Continue reading
