Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I just saw the subject of who was cruising in August and decided it was time to come forward from the sidelines lurking as a guest--as I will be cruising this August! Can't wait!!!
My name is Jayne and I live and work in New England. We live on the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border on the Seacoast. My partner in life(for 29 years now) is Dennis. Dennis works for a Chamber of Commerce and I am in the Chocolate business! Thank all you chocoholics for keeping me going!! With most
of the candy holidays behind me--Christmas, Valentine's, Easter and Mother's Day I can now relax a bit and look forward to my upcoming cruise.
I have enjoyed lurking behind the scenes and now look forward to connecting with you all via LCT and hopefully meeting some of you on our cruise.
We are a big fan of Radisson, having cruised them twice before. We are looking forward to our third trip coming soon!
Hope to hear from you all!
Confectionately,
Jayne

Welcome Jayne. Glad you came out of "lurking" mode. It seems we have two things in common...Radisson and chocolate!

Hi Jayne & welcome. If you have been lurking you already know what a great group this is. I am hoping to do your cruise in reverse next year - Monte Carlo to Dover. Chat Kat on the same cruise but she will be doing the b2b. Hope you will report your adventures.

Welcome Jayne. What a great job you have. And a healthy one if you eat dark chocolate - my personal favorite.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I am glad to see so many chocolate fans. Thanks for all the flattery, and yes it will get you chocolate--all you have to do is be on one of the cruises I am on as I always bring some samples. And I don't think Dennis could go a week without any of our chocolate as he really is addicted.
But I have found that Radisson has some yummy chocolate treats after dinner in the evening. His favorite is dark (since he knows it is good for you) although I still prefer milk chocolate. We make a dark chocolate molded glass which he fills with red wine and he thinks he is having a heart healthy dessert!! Oh, how we love the media, it has helped our business!
So, what is everyone's favorite?
Jayne

Jayne,
I have to admit, I LOVE white chocolate, milk chocolate and truffles!
A dark chocolate wine glass? Sounds heavenly!
Can you be coerced into changing your cruise to our August 6th Baltics cruise?????
Denise
Retired and loving it!

Welcome Jane! My husband and I are just back from the Voyager which took us from Rome to Barcelona. You are going on my favorite leg of the trip in the opposite direction.
I love your signature..."confectionately".
Be SURE to try the chocolate gelato! ;-)Especially in Florence, but delicious in Rome too.
P.S. Leonida's (Belgium) and Marshall Fields' Frango mints are my personal favorite chocolates. I don't care if they're white, milk or dark...they are all good in my book.
