Prologue I felt giddy, like a wide-eyed girl walking through the gates of Disneyland as Tony and I walked up the colorful embarkation gangway to board the massive cruise ship. Party music filled the air, interrupted by occasional blasts of the ship's fog-horn, as if showing off its colossal presence to the other ships at the pier. Size matters with cruise s...

We have been married nine months and never had a proper honeymoon. I had just landed a job at HI-TECH COMPUTERS, and Kathy's mother was very sick so she had to look after her, but now we had just booked a 5 day cruise and 2 days in a resort hotel to coincide with our one year anniversary. I'm 5' 6" tall. I may be small, but I'm wiry and I am a good golfer....

Somewhere off the Baja Coast or the tale of Jody Stark and Dee Halleywell It was no doubt the largest floating structure I had ever seen towering over the smaller boats tied to their piers.

Back then it was somethin...

Her husband, Carl, back home in Sydney, is not sure also where this will lead.

I appreciate all scores, comments or feedback. I am looking for an editor, as well. I I'm not the type to go on a cruise, but there I was.

It was my thoughtful friends that had set me up for an ocea...
