Harriet tell us about your trip

[Skippy123]

Hey, there; please share if you don't mind. What did you do and what did you eat?

What did you see?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

[Harriet]

I''ll start with Friday''s visit to Leon. I went to see him to discuss my pair of Tsavorites, my pair of Sapphires, and my mint Tourmaline. He wasn''t that interested in the Sapphires, but he had a fabulous idea for the Tsavorites involving pink stones (Spinels, Tourmalines, Sapphires). We immediately agreed that the Tourmaline should go in the HW setting. After that, he had me try on that gorgeous pair of earrings. He also tempted me with a pink Spinel ring. Then, I had to rush to meet Nicrez, so I didn''t even get a peek at my ring-to-be.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

How much is that gorgeous pink spinel ring, Harriet? I think the HW setting would be gorgeous for any colored stone!

 

[Skippy123]

Oh very exciting!!

$5k. I think so too!
I owe you guys more details of my trip, but I''m sick as a dog right now.

 

[lizardofaz]

Feel better soon! You know we''re waiting breathlessly for pictures of your new Leon next week!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Hope you''re feeling better now.

 

[Nicrez]

Most importantly Harriet, how are your eyebrows doing?

The Leon will be picked up this week, you must be so excited you got yourself sick with anticipation...Oh Harriet!

FEEL BETTER!!

 

[Harriet]

Thanks, ladies!

 

[Skippy123]

Thanks! It scared me on takeoff, but I greatly enjoyed the serenity. I was worried that my shoes would fall off though.

Did you try their lemon flavored oils? Did you eat Gelato? Pizza? How was Rome? Was it warm there or perfect. How was Sydney and Singapore?

Did you go to the museums?

Skippy darling,

I''m sorry that you have to ask such specific questions to get me to talk about my trip.

Stupidly enough, I didn''t try the lemon-flavoured oils or the limoncello. I did have gelato though. Lots of it. We didn''t sight-see much in Rome because I''d already been there and someone else wasn''t interested. So, we went shopping instead. The shopping was somewhat disappointing, perhaps because we are spoilt for choice here. Sydney was, as usual, perfect. I didn''t do much in Singapore, just hung out with my parents and friends. I did take a 2-day side-trip to Indonesia. I splurged and got a villa with its own pool, and relaxed like I''d never done before. As for museums, I only went to the Louvre this time.

 

[Linda W]

Harriet,

Your trip sounds wonderful. I am so glad you had a great time.


I emailed Leon about the pink spinel. He quoted me 6.700.00 Too much for me, but it is so beautiful.

Linda

 

[Harriet]

Thanks! It was wonderful.

Are you sure you don''t want another Pad instead?

 

[Linda W]

tee hee, Harriet. That spinel was beautiful. I would like to have a spinel one day.

Shhhhhh, don''t tell my Pads though, they might get their feelings hurt. ha ha ha

Linda

 

[Harriet]

I''d love a spinel too. Heck, I''d love a red one, a pink one, a purple one, and a blue one.

 

[luckystar112]

Harriet, will you adopt me?

I didn''t dare to go on the chair lift. lol. For some reason I think that''s hilarious. I''m such a baby.

Only if you''re a shih tzu pup.

I wasn''t going to go on the chair lift, but mustered up some last minute courage.

I know I was begining to wonder if I smelled funny

Glad you had a great trip. Have you seen the Great Barrier Reef? That is where I hope to go someday

It must have been fun to have a month to travel; my hero. heehe

Now that you mentioned it ...

I''ve not seen the Great Barrier Reef, but would like to do a Melbourne-Sydney-Cairns trip.
Was it ever!

 

[Sundial]

Harriet you have so much going on I get kind of lost, but weren''t you taking an Oceania cruise in Europe as part of your trip? If so how did you like it? And yes you should visit the Great Barrier Reef. The snorkeling is amazing!

 

[TravelingGal]

Seriously woman, how can you go traveling for weeks and not bring back pics?

The GBR is wonderful. Just heaven. You must get certified to dive if you aren''t already. I once said to my friends that I''d dive over my dead body. Well, once I had booked the trip, I realized dying in the GBR wouldn''t be that bad of a thing.

Oh Sundial, I could not have been more pleased with Oceania (even though we skipped Portofino because a fishing line got wrapped around the propeller). The food exceeded expectations, the service was impeccable. Did you cruise with them earlier in the summer?

Hi,
Congratulations!
Don''t you know that I''m camera-challenged?
Oh wow! What about the Whitsundays? I''d dive except that I can''t swim.

Harriet I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your cruise with Oceania! Our cruise was on Regent Seven Seas and we loved it, but I would consider Oceania too if the itinerary and price was right. Interestingly we also missed Portofino although in our case it was because of rough seas. We docked in Genoa instead, but hubby and I had been to Portofino on another trip anyway. What was your favorite port?

Oceania is reasonably priced. But, since their cruises are 2 weeks in length or more, I don''t know where I''ll find the time next. I made some friends who had just done their Baltic cruise. What was Portofino like? My favourite port (I can''t remember its name!) was the one on the Amalfi coast. Was Genoa nice? We spent an extra night at Livorno, where the closes town was Pisa. That wasn''t great, but the ship is just like a floating resort, so it ended up being another resort day!
