Hey Ladies of Olivia!

So glad to meet all of you. Stumpy glad you had a blast in the US and Canada, Jelene I'm jealous. Austrailia is def on my list to visit. I've booked the rome cruise and I am trying to get a group together for the cruise for cause next year. I had a blast it was great to meet everyone, so I was a little crazy on the kick off party, too much wine makes for a bad girl my appologies. Rosies was great and the new moon much fun, and hey lets give a cheer for team Healthy Hooters!! Winners of the Lesbian Olympics at half moon cay, hip hip. Until next time happy pride month (June) and have a safe and healthy summer everyone

Hi Girls!

WOW!  Long time no speak!  I've just returned from 2-weeks in Australia, one of which was spent up in Brisbane with Stumpy!!!  What a blast I had over there with her.  She sure knows how to host a Yank!  Went to Australia Zoo and got to meet Teri Irwin and we saw her little boy Bob as well!  The kangaroos and koalas were to die for.  So cute and cuddly and you can feed them as long as you want to.  I had three eating out of my hand at one time.  Loved every minute of it.

Australian's are by far the nicest people I've ever met.  They are so relaxed and friendly and love joke around with us Yank's!  I had the time of my life over there and will absolutely return one day!  If you've never been over there I highly recommend it, besides Stumpy will show you a great time!  She and her friends went so out of their way to make sure we experienced Australia like the locals do and I cannot thank her enough.

I hope all of you are well and that some of you have at least made plans for another Olivia cruise by now.  I love those trips and all of you.  I always leave with a few new friends and wonderful memories.  Let's stay in touch on here and keep the party alive until we meet again!  

My best to all of you and Happy Memorial Day Weekend and stay safe and happy!

Hi ya everyone...

I've just had Jelene and one of her friends visit me in Australia.  We had a sensational time.  Jelene got to feed kangaroos, cuddle Koalas, drink at a typical Aussie Surf Lifesaving club, Climb the Sydney harbour bridge, try our delicious seafood etc.

If at any time you're in Australia, feel free to contact me.  You'll have a place to stay in Brisbane and I have contacts in Sydney and Perth.

See ya.

hey Sandra - how's it going?  Excellent photos!!  I check on this site occasionally but keep in contact with a lot of the girls via myspace.  My address is http://www.myspace.com/stumpymcstump  so feel free to come and join us.  I have heaps of photos of my trip including my time in Canada.  (Loved it!!)

 Glad I got to meet you.  I will be back in the northern hemisphere next year.  Not sure where though!

 Have fun.

Hi Stumpy - Hope you're feeling better and your back-to-work blues have subsided. There will always be another vacation around the corner! I'm not sure if you're still checking this site but I finally got around to uploading some pics from the cruise, including one of you and DJ at Pink & White night. Have a look at the album in my profile.

Stumpy's back in the house...  I got home from the States last Wed morning but have been sick ever since.  I'm currently up the coast where Jett holidayed while I was away.  Trouble is I've been too sick to go to the beach...  Not happy.  She was so excited to see me as I was her.

My post holiday blues will really hit next week when I return to work.  First thing I'm doing is checking how much leave I have left to take for this year.  May squeeze a trip in this year or will definately be back in 09.  As Naf said, we're not sure on what we're doing.

 Just a short gidday...  Will get back on more next week .

 So glad I got to meet a heap of new friends and sorry I didn't get to spend more time with everyone.  So many women, so little time!!  lol.

Stumpy hugs to everyone!!!

Hello Lovely Ladies of Olivia (Broadcast over the speaker loud),

First and foremost, I had a complete blast!!!  Everyone that I met from this blog was incredible and I truly believe that AGAIN I have made some wonderfully, beautiful, long lasting friends.  I always feel like I am making a commercial for Olivia because of how each trip just keeps getting better and better and I continue to make friends all over the world that I get to say hello to when I am near and far.

I am totally renewed and empowered since the return of the sunglasses that I lost while helping a lady in diabetic distress.  Came home and place a LOST blog topic and out of no where they were found and back at home.  They were not just any sunglasses, they were the sunglasses given to me by my Father the day before the accident that killed him.  Very sentimental gift and the gift is back home to stay.  I am so thankful for the loving care of the kind lady who went out of her way (it really was amazing) to get them back in my hands, so another wonderful person from an Olivia vacation has become another special place in my heart.

I have set up for future vaca's too, but I am going to finally do the Resort of those included already.  The Cruises are awesome and I have always run into others who really enjoyed the resort vacations, so November here I come.  Plus Early November and Late November are slow times in the studio---so why not go place with the Lovely Ladies of Olivia.  Of course, I am always game for meeting up in special or other vaca's within the year or next, so keep me posted on what is going on and here is my myspace listing too... www.myspace.com/katchoftheday .

In re the DVD movie with special character actressess from all over the world, I am still missing some email address, so if you were on the Room Listing and you had your photograph taken by me on the ship, then friend request me here and/or myspace and let me get you my email address, so I can get your info and/or if you want your "stuff" included too.  Tic-toc, tic-toc, time is running out and this production is in storybook mode, so there is still time to get everyone on the "short bus".  Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible please.

Again, thank you to all of you who were nice and a special thank you to those who were really nice-LOL.   Whoooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo. JK

With Love and Thanks ALLWays, Katch

Hellloooo My Lovelies! Awesome meeting new folks and 'old' folks! I posted some pics on my myspace page....cannot think of having time to post in two places so here is the link

http://www.myspace.com/not_a_freud

lots of others have done that too...so between snapfish, myspace, connect etc we should be able to find each other's pics!

Wow Jayne and Lori! booked already eh? ..methinks the noodle and a bunch of us are deciding between the Columbus Isle resort or some other adventure (possibly non-Olivia) so plans are up in the air for next year...as soon as I know (aka when my honey tells me what we're doin) then I will have more news   Take care all and do keep in touch...consider a myspace account...a bunch of us have those and it is much easier to stay connected....MUAHS etc!

Hello from Lori and Jayne.  We have booked for the Funraiser next year already.  Yes we are addicted.

We are still recuperating from the trip.  It appears our jobs have figured out a payback for our ten days of heaven.  We have both been working late and weekends as catchup.

 We have lots of pictures but need to edit before we post.  By the way some people were going to use snapfish to post.  Just know that the only way for people to view the pics is for the 'postee' to send out the link to the album.  ANyway, we will try to have on our profile this week.

We think of you all every day....

Hello Ladies of Olivia....darn I sure do miss hearing that several times a day....I had to take some time before replying as my mother passed away while we were on the cruise.  Now I am home and have updated my profile with some pictures.

 I loved meeting all the new people and experiencing the cruise.  This was our last trip together as Lynda is ill with cancer and now cannot leave the house.  I was so happy to meet the wonderful women I was able to chat with.

If anyone would like to email me - my email address is lori.light@gmail.com.  I won't be popping in here as much as I was since I am now super busy with Lynda and going back to work.

Lori (Landshark!)

I guess I got myself soo excited for the cruise and enjoyed it so much that now that it is over it is hard to get out of this dip.  I am sad that next year I cannot make the Olivia cruise since I already promised my mom I would go with her to Cuba, and Judy wants to take a trip somewhere else next year... Yes...Olivia is like a drug for lesbians, and a very expensive one... so because most likely won´t do it again next year :-(

It was great meeting all of you and I am very grateful to have been able to share the great memories I made with many of you!  Take care and let´s stay in touch!

Hey Ladies...I'm here too!

I feel the same way you do, Linda!  I really have just been in such a funk since we got back from the cruise.  It doesn't help that I have changed my work computer display to this:

Looking at this everyday just makes me that much sadder that the cruise is over but hopeful that we'll book another one soon!  You all were not kidding when you said an Olivia cruise is like being addicted to crack...I NEED ANOTHER FIX NOW!!!

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet everyone from the Forum or spend more time with those I did meet.  Being that it was our first Olivia cruise, there was just so much to do and experience...we were just trying to take everything in at once and savor each moment of this blissful vacation.  Next time we book one (and we will), we'll hopefully have more time to get to know more people.

So, has anyone booked another one yet?  The FUNraiser cruise next March is really enticing...perhaps that could be the next reunion cruise!

Take care everyone...wherever you are!
