Four years, four cruises, a road trip and lots of laughs have been shared with my muse Maria who from day one has inspired me to seize the day in every way. Thanks to Maria I've learnt how to pimp my style and start every day with a smile no matter how crap I might be feeling. Life is a journey best shared with likeminded souls; happy to share mine with the gorgeous and glamorous Maria.

I've started a travel blog for the big break we're embarking on in seven days for seven weeks. Links to updates will be posted on Facebook, otherwise look for vrae70 on Offexploring.com

Five days of work, one day to pack/panic then we're off! Catching up with our travel buddies later today; seeking packing inspiration from my muse Maria. Going to miss the sounds, sights and scenes of The City of Lights, but looking forward to creating more memories.
