As much as I'd like to show my readers a picture of RQS smiling in this blog, I will not do so because of what once happened with someone who once was a close friend. However, RQS would not have cruised with me in Marian Mode, had she not been comfortable with me in both gender presentations.

Soon, we will be booking another cruise. And again, we will be traveling as two women. Assuming we take the cruise I'm planning to book, we will not even bother getting off the cruise ship. My rights will not be protected in Florida, nor will they be protected in the Bahamas. So, the safest place for me to be will be onboard. This is OK with the two of us.
We have booked a nice Thanksgiving dinner at a nice place. It's not the place where we originally wanted to go. But it is affordable, and it is a place we've wanted to try for a while. I've already bought RQS one of her Xmas gifts, and will soon buy her another to be opened on the holiday. However, it'll be the cruise that she'll remember most of all - my gift to her.

RQS has become a member of my family for all practical purposes. I feel very lucky that this has happened. But who knew that 5 years after breaking up with XGFJ that I'd be with someone who accepts my transgender nature? Yes, that period in my life hurt. Yet, it forced me to become more independent, making myself ready to make the sacrifices needed to have a caring partner in life....
