| On the balcony of our cabin |
The last two
weeks have been a whirlwind of school commitments, work lunches and awards
ceremonies. (That’s the reason for my lack of writing and blogging. I visited
Dalebrook tidal pool in Kalk Bay, travelled there by train and spent a lovely morning
on the beach with around 120 grade 2 learners! What a quaint little gem of a
town, I certainly plan to visit again soon.
As crazy busy as it has been, I would not
change a single thing. #reallyspecialtimes.
My
family and I were privileged enough to depart on a 3 day MSC Sinfonia cruise to
nowhere. Since it was my first time cruising with my boys, I thought a 3 day
cruise would be the best way to test their tolerance for it.

The trip was
extra special as Ghaalid and I were celebrating our anniversary, and wanted to
do it in a different setting with the boys. With reference to my previous post,
this is truly an achievement as we were celebrating 17 years of marriage! We
got married really young, despite all the misgivings around us- we wanted to be
with each other and saw no reason to wait. So at 18 years old, I tied the knot
with my soul mate. I feel like he is this special person, who knows me inside
out, who knows what I am feeling without me having say anything. He’s my best
friend, my confidant, my biggest fan and supporter. I feel really blessed to have him and my
gregarious 3 boys in my life. It has not been easy, but one has to work at it
and breed a culture of compromise and understanding and trust combined with
loads of fun!

| The scene of the Oh Ship! Festivities |
The cruise
was nothing less than spectacular, it also happened to be the 5FM Oh Ship!
Cruise which added that extra party vibe. We enjoyed a couples massage at the
Spa in the most amazing room overlooking the endless sea. The theatre shows
were good, restaurants offered lovely meals. My boys enjoyed the kid’s cub,
having a balcony cabin all to themselves for the 4 days (we were unable to dock
in the harbour when planned due strong winds), countless smoothies from the
juice bar and just enjoyed it to their hearts content. (A-la Suite life on
deck!)

I could
seriously do a longer cruise…. Now that I know I can handle the intense and
constant swaying of the ship!
