The People that you Meet on a Cruise.....

I sit here thinking of the people that I meet on vacation,

I have already told you about the fun people that I met while cruising with Disney.... But the best passenger that I have ever met would be M that I met on my Holiday cruise this past Christmas.

M was married to S, a lawyer in New York. Now S was an accomplished intelligent man. I enjoyed out chats...but I just did not get "them"

I spent the first day trying to figure out what M does for a living.
  • She does not work
  • she does not cook (how they eat is still a mystery to me, when asked why she did not cook, she indicated that she did not have time.....)
  • She does go to the gym at 6am every morning
  • she takes 30 mins to add product to her hair, and an additional 20 mins to wash her hands (self confession)
  • The balance of her day is completely unknown to me....

What I learned from M

  • She has a Cashmere Drawer with every colour of pink on the pallet (doesn't everyone?)
  • she has over 16 pashminas (and we know that these are real, my question is how many different colours can she have, she only wears pink...oh see above...it is about coordinating!!!)
  • the location one sits at the table at dinner is directly related to the motion of the ship (the center has the least amount of motion, even if the table is against the wall)
  • if the ship runs out of Special K, I know where it is stored, you never know when she may get hungry (let me elaborate on this, we all met on the final morning of the cruise to have breakfast at which time M arrived with a bag full of Special K( I would say 16 boxes at least)....make note that money is not an issue for M, when questioned, you never know when she may get hungry!!! Then at breakfast, she ordered Special K....and guess what? they had run out....What a shock!!!)
  • Not everyone knows what a Bingo Hall is
  • M is better than any dining guide that you may find in New York (now that must be where they eat!!!)
  • Her purse is worth another trip to Paris to replace it if water touches it
  • No matter how dumb you are, having no internal sensor is still rude
  • towel rules do not apply to her (she took 6 ashore every day)
  • vacant eyes = vacant mind
  • Princess complex is not limited to attractive women

Whenever you go on vacation, there is that one person that leaves a memory, M takes the cake for me!!!! M I wish you and S all the happiness in the world, please never change, you bring so much amusement to the people around you!!!!
