Have you ever been on a European cruise? I haven’t, but that’s something I’ve clearly inscribed and double-underlined in my list of things to do before I die. It must be something else, getting on a cruise, and just drifting along in the wide seas for a couple of weeks: doing nothing but sun-bathing, saloon dancing, cocktail-sipping and generally getting lost in the big blue. I’m usually not a big fan of boats, especially when they’re too small… I’m always afraid they’ll tip over and I must confess I’m not that good a swimmer. But I don’t think that a proper cruise boat would make me uncomfortable! Those things are rock solid and steady… right?

I was just drifting along in one of my usual inordinate musings over the Internet, after having stumbled upon this cruise booking website. Oh, how I wish I was rich (yeah, doesn’t everyone?), and just be able to take a week off stating tomorrow, and take my girlfriend along in the cruise of a lifetime! But that’s not really how it works for us blue collar types, is it? Well, at least we can dream about a better tomorrow! Also, cruises aren’t so expensive nowadays, so maybe all it takes is a little saving and I’ll be able to indulge my dream.
