Come Sail Away, Come Sail Away--.
He finally showed me our cruise itinerary for December. We're leaving from Barcelona and hitting up Nice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Santorini, Athens, Coatia, and Venice. And then I'll be living in France.
This is my Christmas present, he says. I told him that I do not do well with Christmas--it is not a good time of the year for me. He says I simply have to make enough good memories to outweigh the old.
I think that is true. I can remember, now, some good Christmases despite several things.
I asked him why a cruise. He said one evening in Ireland, while I was feverish and babbling, I told him stories of wanting to go on cruises--of spending nights in Greece, by the beach, and drinking wine. He thought it sounded lovely, and he's fond of cruises, so when he'd heard I'd never been on one, he thought it would be perfect.
Nothing is ever perfect, but I don't have the heart to tell him that. I am grateful. I am excited.
Working straight through until Wednesday! I was supposed to travel this week, but I canceled a few things. I think I'll just go up to Boston in an hour and come home late this evening. I have something to come home to.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, folks. I'll hit you up after the holiday.
And thank you. Thank you just for being there.
