What I did on my Vacation

Hi!
I am back from my very first Cruise ever!  It was an interesting trip, with some great highlights and some "low"lights too (maybe I'll post those another time!).  It was a cold & rainy start but warmed up in the Caribbean and my favourite of the 3 island stops was St Kitts.  Very friendly, pretty, and full of flowers and greenery!  Bought a lovely genuine handmade Batik dress & blouse and saw how the process is done, which can take 3 to 9 days!

Passage was quite rough and walking on the ship could get tough and for the few days I've been back I still feel a bit dizzy like I am on the tossing ship!  I was a bit surprised by the food selection.  Our group had a Specialty restaurant on board for our nightly dining, so it was a limited menu.  Perhaps in the main fixed seating dining room there would have been more to choose from. 

I managed to schedule over 70 auctions on eBay (check out http://www.mandicrafts.com/)  to begin daily while I was away but had none ending during that week since I would only be able to ship upon my return, but I had sales out of my ebay store so still came home to a BIG shipping day!  All of my buyers were very understanding with having to wait a few days for their items to ship!

Now I have to knuckle-down and get my Treasure Trove of Steiff, Hermann and Clements animals sorted, identified and listed!  I have loads of unique Collectibles, mugs and dinnerware to list as well!  Back to reality!
