My purse is a wasteland... and FULL, CROWDED wasteland... Thanks for bringing that to my attention!!! Lambie John…

What can I say? I could have gone on 10 cruises with all of those. Perhaps I might start selling on Ebay. O'well, the bags are only half as many as the shoes! :) Had to go count my bags after reading this. 25 in total including a Coach, Louis Vitton, Fendi, Prada, Liz, Kathy VanZealand, Ralph Lauren and Hermes.

My wife and I are looking forward to seeing you on the Splendor 18/8 sailing to the Baltics. Perhaps we may even have time to chat, if your busy schedule permits. Keep up the good work. John,

I just get her a Vera Bradley on ebay for $30 which is 1/2 the price @ the store and she's happy with it for a week. She got both her boobs for $6,000 ( and might I add WOW sr wowsr on the job the fella did on them) and we could take a cruise with the other $1,000. I'm happy longer than a week with that!!! $7,000 new purse??? I just get her a Vera Bradley on ebay for $30 which is 1/2 the price @ the store and she’s happy with it for a week.

I hate the things and try to go without whenever I can. But then again, you should see DH's pockets! Am quite happy to report that I don’t fit the handbag mould.

There’s a thread on Cruise Critic right now that address that topic. It asks ‘Why is a cruise better than a land vacation?’ .... Host Mach from Cruise Critic ---> Hi Host Mach! Could you provide a link to this thread??? I am hoping it will convince my husband's family to have their next reunion on the Carnival Splendor. And John, I am assuming from all the comments you will be the CD on the Splendor... Is this true??? Hope so! Thanks! Linda Host Mach

Could you provide a link to this thread???

I am hoping it will convince my husband’s family to have their next reunion on the Carnival Splendor.

And John, I am assuming from all the comments you will be the CD on the Splendor… Is this true??? Hope so!

We guess the first Splendorous passenger complaint that causes you to post on a blog. I am going to guess it will be an elderly lady with blue hair from Estonia complaining that there are no copies of Jann Kross' Keisri hull in the native Estonia for her to read. Next guess :) Jon John -

I only have 1 handbag. It came from Walmart and when it falls apart, I will buy another. Not much for brand names, and I would much rather spend my money on a cruise. After all, it is just a hole that stores stuff, but a cruise is a forever memory. Ciao, Kathleen HI,
