We leave today for France and other ports so that we can end up taking our guests to the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.
In an unrelated note, I love Nice. It’s nice. They’re SO French!
Spent the day in the old city shopping and eating. Had a chevre panini and I LOVED it. Also had gelato. 2 types. Chocolate chili, and carmel made with salted butter. You didn’t hear me. Carmel with salted butter. Outstanding.
Guests on board, we sail, I work in the office with Kim for our voyage reports. Later go to the Captain’s Welcome Aboard Cocktail party. The champagne tasted like a flute of bad breath. My new friend Paul Tanner had his show which is great, but the audience is really jet lagged, so they were less than thrilled. He worked like a son of a gun. They turned around in the end, but he earned every bit of it.
So here’s a funny thing… When you’re away from home for 6 months, you try to combine your clothes in new and different ways so that you feel like your looks are different. So today, I wore white pants with a blue and white striped shirt, white tie and white jacket. Looking very Crocket and Tubbs, but not too bad. I walk into the showroom where I’m met with the star of tonight’s show, Paul, in a beautiful three piece white suit. We meet each other in the hall looking like the topper on a huge gay wedding cake. Embarassing. He was cool. He rocked the look. It’s a beautiful suit, and he had a matching shirt and tie in a very light pink. Really good look on stage.
More later.
