Well after finally just collapsing into bed and getting a good nights sleep, a hot shower this morning and coffee, I think I'm going to live!!!

Long long day yesterday traveling, and the Frankfurt airport is a nightmare - but we actually finally found our concourse, the Red Carpet Lounge and eventually our flight, even though we had been given the wrong gate number and almost boarded the wrong flihg, thanks to the alertness of the gate agent he directed us across to the other gate where our flight was.

Our evening in Monte Carlo was lonely, and I was crabby anyway, and Frank decided he wanted us to walk down to some restaurants he saw along the marina, however, he didn't tell me it was approximately two miles, and we had to walk thru the tunnel, scary, then it turned out those places were not restaurants, but snack bars, on and on and by the time we ate and got back to the hotel I was really crabby and just went to bed!!! I'm so envious of the rest of you and your fun sounding evening. The Fairmont is a lovely hotel, and we did get an upgrade to a Jr suite, but we still had to wait until almost 1:00 for our room. I wish we had just stayed at the hotel and eaten at their very lovely rooftop restaurant, but hey thats life.

B2B was just one of the best cruises, not that they all haven't been, :) but this on had its own special uniqueness, as they all do and we enjoyed every single active minute of it. Tough with no sea days though thats for sure. Loved playing pooch, the OL evening cocktail get togethers, meeting new LCT'ers, spending time with those we knew, sharing in Mark and Joanna's engagement, all the birthdays and special occasions.

Now of course its back to reality!! Off to the dentist this morning, picking up Shelby, getting the garden back in shape, catching up on bills, (and unfortunately they did come in), unpacking and doing the laundry, getting food in the house, and on and on and on.

I have no clue how to post pictures so will let everyone elses pictures tell the story.
