We are actually sailing out on Queen Mary 2 next week for 10 days in Portugal and Spain. We moved back to the UK 2 years ago by sailing over on QM2, so it will be nice to see her again. Afternoon Tea aboard the QM2 is quite the affair, complete with a tea dance!

My brother gave me some pills the last time I went on his boat--they seemed to help. I hate feeling sick so although I love being by the water I tend to be a land lover.

I spent a couple hours on a ferry over calm water getting to my honeymoon--I sat staring straight ahead saying "I am not going to be seasick on my honeymoon." Had I walked around, I would have been sick for sure. I thought about that on the Queen Mary and how it would be the only way I could spend my honeymoon on a ship!Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-81196793513843955082012-08-24T11:29:40.549-07:002012-08-24T11:29:40.549-07:00Everything about this makes me grin!

Probably the best movable feast I ever enjoyed (discounting Las Vegas) was aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean with my Boy Child, the Lad. After a while the rolling seems to aid digestion.
