Return of Cinderella – Venice, Italy – [09/13/2013]
Those of you who’ve been following this blog for ages know that there are times when I relish becoming Cinderella, and times when I feel about as much like donning that ball gown as I do following a pack of … Continue reading
Gremlins – Venice, Italy – [09/13/2013]
The simple truth is that I hate the fact that I am so dependent on my office computer. Of course, we won’t even go into the absolute life-line created by my personal laptop (which is more of an entertainment system … Continue reading

We get up at twelve and start to work at one. Take an hour for lunch and then at two we’re done. Jolly good fun! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there is nothing not to adore … Continue reading
Transitioning – Marseilles, France – [09/01/2013]
And so it’s September… And it’s officially started feeling strange. Normally this time of year I’m in full swing-prep mode for the Grand Pacific. I’m going down lists of theme night requirements and ordering ball-gowns and checking to make sure … Continue reading
Do I Really Feel The Way I Feel – Barcelona, Spain – [08/31/2013]
I wish, I truly wish, that every contract was like this. I have a fantastic team, I have an amazing itinerary, and for the first time in two years, I’m working with my big brother – and my sister-in-law is … Continue reading
Embarking Chaos – Barcelona, Spain – [08/31/2013]
