James and I have returned from 14 days of sailing through Paradise

Well….sailing, and hiking, and exploring, and cave crawling—honestly; at least half the fun of cruising is the shore excursions you can take. Sometimes, I enjoy having a nice, relaxing vacation–lounging on deck or on the beach, slipping into a jacuzzi in a bandeau bikini top and giggling as guys do a double take and crash into stuff on ship when they think I’m in there topless…but not this time. This time I went all out on trekking through ruins and caves, and urban exploration.  It was my first time back to Europe since my sophomore year in college, and my fiance and I had a blast! Now that I’m back, I can’t wait to share the details with the wonderful Ladies and subbies of LDW.

Presenting the NCL Epic—my home away from home for the 14 days of the cruise.

The itnerary actually wound up showing us far more than just Italy

—There were stops in France, Spain, and Monaco as well.  Your resident cruising Mistress got to see sights from Vatican City to Vesuvius, Monte Carlo to Mallorca, and I’m posting pics on my tumblr blog to help give you a little taste of the Old World as well–1st up: some shots of Barcelona. Here’s another one:

Cruise Life, Culture, and Cumming… Why not enjoy all three?

I certainly did; and I’ll be sharing the details with you over the next couple of weeks. There’s a little something for everyone whether your taste runs to the sexy or sublime. I love cruises, and I adore being able to share some of the fabulous things that happen during them with you. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself inspired to take an erotic or exotic vacation yourself 😉
