Amazing how busy we have been and how time has passed so quickly.

Livorno we stayed on the ship. The tour we booked was not going to get back until 6.30 pm and we had plans for dinner at 6.30 pm. So we just took a day off.

Rome we had a nice tour. Bracciano Lake & Wine tasting. A lovely little lake and a nice cup of coffee with a view was delightful. I went to a fish store BUT the smell got to me so I did not stay long. Finished off with a wine tasting that had very good thinly sliced meats and cheese. Couple this with a sour dough type bread with olive oil it was very GOOD.

Naples we finally went to Herculaneum. It was very interesting. There was a special 25th anniversary tour here that went into tunnels the Borbonico Tunnel that everyone who went really said was great. Some bailed as there were a lot of steps down. Next time I am here I might try that.

Kotor we did a special 25th anniversary tour that went by boat to a church that featured a classical concert. Four lovely young ladies played flutes and the music was delightful. Then back on the boat to a local restaurant for a fish luncheon, calarmari, fresh fish, octopus salad with a good green salad. It was actually very good. A small local restaurant that we filled up completely. No need for lunch back on the ship.

Spent time getting whipped in cards by Marc, Mark and Bo. Those guys are SO good I am really just there to have the fourth person as you need four to play. Enjoyed game of scrabble with sister June. Yesterday I worked on itineraries for the Cheetah safari and played scrabble at the same time. Making full use of my time.

I was not sure how it would all work out with so many people I knew so well and so many clients of KLT that I had not met. I had lunch, dinner or drinks with everyone on the first leg - all the 112 FROLIC people. It was so great seeing so many people we knew in the same place all together. Just like Ho-Down, Fiesta, Hee Haw, and Rodeo, Frolic proved to be a ton of fun. What was great this time is that I met more new people and had a chance to share a meal together so I could really get to know them. Some really super people. All have been clients for a long time but they work with other people in the office. That makes a cruise event good as it is not over in just three days and everyone has time to meet more people.

Just a few more nights and then we are off to the christening of the new Silver Muse.
