It's been a busy weekend, and, I just received unconfirmed information that Cunard will be releasing full itineraries and information for the 2012 World Cruise of QM2 on July 16, 2010. Of course, right now this is second hand information but circle that date and stay tuned. The minute I get confirmation this information is true, I will announce it again on here.

Summer Finally Arrived and I'm planning a trip to Russia
Well summer finally arrived, it's hot here, well into the 80s in NYC but, with the humidity factored in it feels more like 90 or hotter. By week's end it should be much cooler. This is going to be short and sweet entry since I'm planning a cruise for Northern Europe and Russia next July. Here's the itinerary:

The Nutcracker - Sweet!
As I continue to recover from my bout with pneumonia, friends keep creeping out of the woodwork, checking in on me and, asking me to join them in different activities. Last night I was very pleasantly surprised to hear from an old friend whom I haven't seen in two years. He has moved bac
k to the NYC area, and, after chit-chatting for about an hour, we firmed our tentative date for me to join him in December for a performance of The Nutcracker. I adore Lincoln Center and ballet, so, of course, my answer was an immediate yes.
I was a bit stunned when I told a co-worker about the date, and, she wasn't familiar with the The Nutcracker story. I thought it was as common knowledge as the story of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The basic story is that it is Christmas eve, and, a little girl is given a Nutcracker as a present, and, in a dream sequence, toys comes to life. For a full description of the story, I recommend this link: http://www.nycballet.com/nutcracker/read.html (simply click on the book and then click the book each time you are ready to go to the next page. Note that flash is required to view the book)
So this is yet another event I have added to my social calendar. I guess I am rushing the summer a bit, but, I am very anxious to see the dresses that will be available for the Fall, Winter, and, of course, the holidays in 2009. I'm thinking of velvet - it's classic after all, and, it is certainly something I will wear more than once. That isn't to imply I don't already own a velvet dress, truth be told, I own 3 (one in red, one black and one in navy) but, if I can find something that "wows"
me, then I will buy it for this occasion.
There is something extremely fun and festive about going to The Nutcracker. Children running about in outfits I am sure they will wear for Christmas Day. Men in suits and tuxedos. Ladies in cocktail dresses, some in full gowns.
We're also discussing where we are going to have dinner that evening. Picholine? The Grand Tier? Arpeggio? Or perhaps something entirely different.
Of course, we will be taking our mandatory photos of the Lincoln Center Christmas tree when we are there. The one shown is from a few years past. While not as famous as it's Rockefeller Center counter part - The Lincoln Center Tree does have some ceremony with it. When the 2009 information becomes available, I will be sure to provide it. If it follows past tradition, it should be on Monday, November 30, 2009, however, as I already stated, I will post the correct information when it becomes available.
With that, I see it is time for me to get ready for my doctor's appointment, and, I will wish you a wonderful Saturday.

Booked My Cruises for 2010 for July and December
Well, after discussing things over with family, we are now officially booked and deposited for two very wonderful cruises in 2010. It was a very, very hard decision to make, but, after careful deliberation, you will find me on the following two cruises:
And the Christmas cruise may shock some of you. We decided to go with Cunard aboard Queen Mary 2. There were many factors in this decision but ultimately it is the best fit for those in my family who are joining me on this cruise.
Am I excited? Of course! It's been three years since I've been on a cruise and now I have two really good ones to look forward to enjoying in 2010. The best part? I don't have to fly! It's as simple as driving to Brooklyn to the cruise terminal for both sailings.
And the only repeat on the itineraries is St. Thomas which can easily be rendered by going to St. John instead.
Cabin selection? Well, of course, I am not giving my cabin number out, but, I didn't book the most expensive cabin nor did I book the least expensive cabin, and, I do have a balcony on both sailings.
Booking these trips has been more therapeutic than anything. I haven't given any thought to what's-his-name the cheater, and, somehow, I don't feel as under the weather with my battle with pneumonia as pro I've been researching, planning, and booking.
I've ordered my guide books from Amazon.com, and, should have those in hand tomorrow. Now I just have to figure out how to entertain myself the rest of the day. I HATE soap-operas, can't stomach another minute of CNN or any of the other 24 hour news stations (enough with Michael Jackson already, the man died, let him rest in peace), and, even though I love the Food Network, I can't take another episode of 30 minute meals!!
Time to pop another movie into the DVD player...
