917AM
I’m currently waiting for our ship to arrive in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is just north of Italy.....also, ordered room service last night before heading to bed....and hoping that arrives here in the next 10 minutes or so. I happened to look out my cabin window and my goodness, Croatia is really beautiful. Not as packed, the mountains look like the San Gabriel Mountains and it also reminds me (the architecture of the homes I can see so far from the boat) of the house that the star of the movie "The Transporter" owned, where he took the girl that he was transporting, until it got bombed by people trying to get the girl....you know, basic, square or rectangular shape, either smooth concrete look, or rocks covering it.....just really my favorite....what do they say about simplicity.....doesn’t it go along way??? I sure hope so!!

Where is my breakfast!!?!! LOL Now I’m getting jumpy. Took a few self pics of myself in the cabin/stateroom this morning and think that I look fat....waaaa! I am not working out today, felt a bit under the weather this am.
Also, last night had a terrible dream that a friend of mine died in my arms....telling me that he had read "The Wisdom of Florence" three times and that he felt good, but couldn’t breathe suddenly.....in the dream, I tried to scream call 911 and stuff, and I don’t know if he made it....I was so frightened and shocked and freeeeaaaked out, that I awoke. Also, in the dream, interestingly enough, he was kinda hooking me up with the city that he works for, to get a job there, or possibly get a job there....so it was even more traumatizing, thinking now I’m going to work here, and he will be gone, dead?!#$%%$@#@!!! I am so glad it was not reality...I hate nightmares like that. Very rarely have them and it’s scary.


Well, breakfast arrived about 5 minutes ago, so going to eat, then shower and head out...ciao ciao belli!!
