I'm happy for you, but where are you going on the Monarch?

Aaahhhh Friday! The start of my two week vacation! Tuesday morning we're off to St. John for 10 days of relaxing, reading, snorkling, hiking, cooking, eating & driniking! Felt so good to leave the office today, not to return until JUNE! This weekend we'll be doing some gardening, finish packing & attend my cousin's bridal shower on Sunday too. So thankful it's finally warm and sunny in NJ! (Even if we did have some amazing thunderstorms this week!) Trish

I went to the Relay for Life tonight which started out sunny and hot and turned stormy. Now home popping a cork and having some wine.

Saturday night I will go to the wine tasting at our local wine store. They have tastings every Friday and Saturday nights from 4-8 with a different vineyard each weekend. Last weekend we had the 1st annual KY Wine and Vine Fest so I am inviting everyone on Fodor's to come next year. Mark your calendars!

If I survive the wine tasting I will head to a friend's 50th birthday party.

Wednesday I will be in Cincinnati and Thursday I will be in Cambridge/Boston to help my daughter pack her dorm room and bring stuff back home. I still don't understand why she can't store everything for the summer.

Cigalechanta - Are we going to get together for a drink or dinner next weekend. I will be in Boston until Sunday and then have to leave for NYC so Friday or Saturday would work for me.

Hi Kay, Any day would be good for me as J. will be away at rehersals. Name where. Email me at hot mail I'll give you my tel. no. if you need it. Great! looking forward to our meeting.

OOPS, it must be Friday. J reminded me I promised to attend the Sat concert.

Cigalechanta- I don't have your hotmail email. What is it? Saturday would probably be better for me as I think my daughter will want to spend her last night there out with her boyfriend not me. I'm not sure where I am staying yet but am planning on pricelining some rooms. I will have a car.

I has to be Friday. J reminded me his concert is that night. He sings with the Concord chorale and has tickets for me and my cousin. His rehersal is friday so I'm free,

Well, Marianna, your boy is bringing the girl home. Can I be the ring bearer...LOL...

Trav's birthday was last Wednesday Mimi, but he was in New York

Mimi, we don't even mention marriage to him! He is "too busy" with his music business to even think about it - or so he says. It was like pulling teeth to get them to meet us for a dinner out a few months ago. So, having her come here for dinner is a big thing.

Off to plan the dinner, select a wine, buy the groceries and be home in time to see SeaUrchin at the Sorrento Tabacchi shop this afternoon!

I just have to tell about our weekend...we're having a wedding!

Our good friends (and part of our little travel group) Mary Jo and Bob are getting married this afternoon!

Our little town is at its prettiest right now, with everything green and blooming. The reception following the ceremony is to be in their wonderful Queen Anne Victorian home.

Last night there was a lovely rehearsal party at another friend's home, and we got to meet Mary Jo's friends and family from Louisville.

We have all been through our children's weddings in the last few years, but it has been a long time since our own friends were the bride and groom!

Obviously, we're having a wonderful weekend.

Byrd

WORK... 11pm to 11am every Fri. & Sat. night. I do like my job though and by taking JUST 1 weekend off I have 10 DAYS TO TRAVEL!!!

Sheila, Too bad he didn't make it to Boston.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRAV, you doll, you.!

Cigalechanta, the Monarch will be sailing from LA and stopping in San Diego, Catalina, and Ensenada, Mexico. I've been to SD before, but not Catalina or Ensenada, so I'm really excited about this trip. Counting the days....
