I've been lurking in the hallway - thought I'd step into the lounge seeing as it's happy hour and all.  [offers to top up everyone's drinks]

I love flying especially taking off.  I'm like a little kid.  The only flight I hate is from Australia to the US.  12.5hrs

It's Friday afternoon over here so I'm leaving work early to head up the coast to the beach.   Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Cheers

I used to LOVE airplanes.  Now I hate flying....but the last plane I took...there was this really amazing woman sitting beside me who let me sleep on her.  Plane rides are fun again.

Brooke and I are doing quite well, actually. Coming home from PV was quite the shock. We've both been incredibly backlogged with work...Then came the holidays. We're attempting to go out on a romantic date tonight, provided Brooke gets out of work at some point before 10pm (damn attorneys).

How are you? How's things in SF?

Glad that the Olivia staff members liked the photos from our beach shoot. We're quite fond of them ourselves. :)

Let me go back to your website to reference the pieces that I liked...
 

We're playing!  It's a living room...!  I just want to get some chat going in here.  The trip groups are always hopping but then after the trips they're so quiet. 

So start any conversation threads you want...invite your friends...hang out, play nice.  Just talk to us! 

Hi everyone -- I am here now.  Sorry it took so long but I had not read my email out here for several days.

Thanks for the invitation.  What are we doing here exactly?

Hi. My name is Gen. I was on the Vallarta Palace trip this November with my wife. From early on in the trip I was nicknamed "tattoo" by a few guests (and entertainers), although I'm not sure how that title was applied to me considering that there was one guest in particular who was much more inked than I. I enjoy long walks on the beach, re-reading Walt Whitman until the spine of the book is broken, and I have a terrible obsession with gym shoes and stiletto heels. Both when I'm wearing them and when I'm not. I'm not thrilled about Chicago's weather right now, my feet are tingling, I'm wearing a winter cap indoors, and I'm incredibly tempted to purchase one of Artgirl's pieces that is showcased on her site for our home. That is, if the piece happened to be for sale and we actually decided to put up artwork.

Cheryl,

Thank you for starting this group.  I have never entertained going on an Olivia Cruise, but I do tend to obey all of your orders.  You have the uncanny ability of making me want to be involved and bring a greater sense of community to many facets of our world.  Your photography skills are extraordinary and your inate ability to capture detail and emotion is rare.  I wish you the best with your next venture, and thank you for including me in your collection of amazing Olivia-ers.
