Ann-tastic

I am back from the glorious Danube River cruise - our first through RSVP - and as always, had a fantastic time. Jeff and I have got this thing now. We know how to choose vacations, we always have a good time. River Cruising is more low-key than ocean ones, and with the RSVP crowd, it was as low-key as low key gets. The average age of the passenger is between 50-55, and this is the farthest thing from a party boat. There aren't parties, and the closest thing we got was a costume contest thing on the last afternoon of the cruise, and it went on for only 45 minutes. However, this cruise had Ann Hampton Callaway as the entertainment, and for me, that alone was worth the price of the trip. Imagine having her sing almost every night? Yes, it sounds as good as it was. And getting to know and hang out with her is like cherry on top of the ice cream sundae. She is fantastic, with positive energy, wit for ages, and I get her, and I think she gets us, too. This makes a once-in-a-lifetime trip a truly unforgettable event. I am now home with a glow, and am kind of depressed to be going back to the low humdrum of my normal life. But, there's always some other next time.
