On the high seas

After months of planning, dreaming, packing, unpacking and finally packing, the day arrived.

My friend phones me to ask what my opinion would be on multiple bags when going on a cruise ship. I, as any good friend, offer my biggest most trunklike case (in fact my only).

And she packed. A bikini for every day, a cocktail dress for each night and a sundress for in-between. Matching shoes for every outfit and something warm, just in case.
Luckily there was the smaller bag for her husbands clothes, but only after she packed her toiletries.

In fact all of this might be true, but most probably not nearly true. Maralise would give at least a quater of the suitcase to her husband.

And off they went. A silly idea one afternoon became, I hope, a holiday to remember.
And onboard the Symphonia Maralise got to sing with one of her favourite stars, take a few photos with the celebs and drink cocktails in a jacuzzi.

In my opinion a wonderful new experience. I had to ask when are they going on another cruise? Maralise was quiet for a second… “Most probably not again, but now we’re saving up for the overseas trip. I think I’ll have to increase my monthly savings’ budget…”
