Blackjack!


This is starting to become a bit embarrassing. My second pair of Tory Burch Miller Thong sandals. And fifth pair of TBs used on this vacation. So far. I can't help it. I just adore this brand. And when I was finally able to get my hands on them after searching for them for a year, I just could not limit myself to one pair. Or two, for that sake. They look great, and they are comfortable. The leather in this particular design is a bit stiff to start with, but great after you have broken them in.

Back in St. John today. No way I am renting a car again today after our adventure last week. It was raining this morning. So we slept in. It is weird how you get more and more tired after a while on vacation. It seems the body suddenly closes down on you when it realizes that it is finally time to relax. And then suddenly all you want to do is sleep. So, I took a nap after breakfast. Then I slept on one of the Balinese dream beds on the top deck for a couple of hours before lunch. Then another nap back in the cabin after lunch. Being on vacation really is exhausting. I haven't even started reading any of the books I brought. Good thing we have another week to go.



Some of you might be wondering how many pairs of shoes I have brought with me on this particular trip. Any guesses? Well, you can see below what it looks like under our vanity table. Fifteen pairs of shoes. Carefully selected before our departure. Sixteen, if I include my new water shoes. Still - I managed to leave my favorite pair of Jimmy Choos back home. Truly annoying. But, hey, sixteen is not that great a number! If I was the dealer in black jack I would still have to draw on sixteen. So, maybe by the time this cruise is over, I will have a black jack. In shoes. Twenty-one pairs. It might happen, as I keep hearing great things about some amazing suede loafers in St. Barths. And you gotta love all the bling-bling sandals available in that same port. We'll see.



Talking of blackjack. I think I have been playing cards at the casino a bit too often lately. When I turn down a drink these days, I tend to follow up with the same hand gesture as in the casino when I do not want to be dealt more cards. Fortunately I haven't started scratching the table with my index finger, shouting "Hit me!" when I would like another drink. Yet.
