Boy, they really are buff aren't they?

The guys who workout together stay together, I guess.

Eh, big muscle-ly guys never did anything for me.  After a while they start to resemble sides of beef.

I'm sorry to read that you didn't like Rome and Capri.  I'm such a Late Republic/Early Roman empire historical buff myself, it's my dream to tour Italy and see the ruins.  Weren't the remains of Emperor Tiberius' villa on Capri?

Imp - I LOVE that T - made me laugh too!

a big arrow pointing up to your face with the words "The Man" and a big arrow pointing down captioned "The Legend"

Also, you look fabulous in your picture!  And your trip sounds beautiful (I agree w/Delalluvia - sometimes your own company is the best - do whatever feels right for you at that time & place)

Delalluvia - I have a cruise coming up in November - it is on one of the BIG ship cruiselines that you can indeed get for much less (can feel kinda like a cattle car @ times - but really not that often).  My cruise is 2 weeks, Nov 3 - Nov 17 & cost $1057.00 including tax.  Of course it's an older ship & my cabin is in the bottom in total darkness (no porthole) which makes it suitable for a mushroom.   :-\

Someday maybe I will have a suite (well at least a porthole) for a cruise to the Med!  ;D

There's another company with a specially bad rep: they claim it will be an all-gay cruise, then if they don't sell out, book straight people on it, who get a discount. Neither group is informed about the other until they get on board.  This sets up enmity between them

Bet they have themselves covered by the small print.  Totally sucks.

???  I never said that about Capri.  It was crowded, true, but a beautiful setting with wonderful shops.

No, it was just Rome that didn't strike my fancy. Not bad: only one port on the whole trip that I didn't take to.   :)

This pic doesn't capture the Navy Blue of the water, but it does show the turquoise created by the underwater stablizer of the ship.

Here's the  group photo taken on the last day, with a close-up that includes me and the French magician.  Can you find me?

I didn't mention these two; lovers of several years.  The tall one was the creator of some big online business that I recognized but can't remember now; he sold it and became a millionaire many times over.  He is head-over-heels in love with his Brazilian boyfriend.

Another person I didn't mention in the log.  We met the first night, and discovered that both of us were loner types and on the cruise in an attempt to reduce our "hermitage."  He too spent a lot of time reading on his own, but I see in the DVD that he mangaged to join in several of the parties.

About mid-week we passed each other and I asked him "any regrets so far?" and he said, "not a one!"

And finally, Francois (head of the ship's hotel) and Captain Roberts wave goodbye as we depart the ship, and a last photo of the ship itself.  There now.  I'm really done.
