This will be a short entry. Last night, as I was booking my next cruise, a friend of mine was impressed that I was going on a cruise this winter. She expressed an interest in coming with me on a future cruise if it is on her bucket list of places to visit.
When I used to sail with my former cruise partner (FCP), I'd often read my books (or watch TV) in the evening while she did other things. Often, we'd see each other for dinner, then go our separate ways And that was fine with me, as I needed to unwind more than I needed companionship. Now that we are no longer on speaking terms with each other, I realized that sooner or later I might want to find a new cruise partner. And this one sorta fell into my lap.
Although this new woman is a former love interest, we'd travel only as friends and nothing more. There is no drama in her life, nor is there a need for her to be the center of attention when with people. Instead, she's very low key and doesn't have that many issues to deal with. This is perfect for someone that one travels with, as there will be many unexpected hitches during a trip that could cause rifts between two friends.
I am lucky to have this woman as a friend. It's too bad that things didn't work out romantically for us.
PS: I wonder why the former cruise partner still reads this blog, if I'm no longer a friend....
