Departing Sydney 5 October 2013!

Cruise N Groove is the first cruise of its kind, featuring a mix of Motown and all of your Disco favourites. Relive the sights and sounds of the golden days of disco from the 60s, the Motown sound, the sensational seventies, the electric 80s, the not so long ago 90s, and even into the noughties aboard the luxurious Rhapsody of the Seas while you cruise to two exotic South Pacific destinations.

All of our funky favourites will perform for you in the Majestic Broadway Melodies Theatre, the Shall We Dance Lounge, the Centrum, the Viking Crown Lounge and the Schooner Bar & Pool. Throw back the clock, bust out those fly threads and drop the funk bomb all night!

The second outing was with my goddaughter Ciel’s dad. We went to the opening night of “War Horse”. To me, theatre is a place to let your imagination run free, and that’s exactly what this play allows you to do. Amazing story, amazing cast, but be warned it is sad, but beautifully so…

Last but surly not least, was the opening night of “The Addams Family”. I knew I’d like it because one of my oldest and dearest tribe members from “Hair” John Waters played Gomez. He happens to be my first crush, and one of our most talented actors… I grew up watching the TV show… The audience loved it from the moment the orchestra started playing the overture. It’s a very clever slant, on a very funny and family orientated show, that has been written with old and new family values .. Loved it! The hardest thing for such a diverse social week is always what to wear…I know you’re feeling me ladies.

Have a safe and loving Easter. It’s actually my favourite holiday – because when I was growing up all us girls would get a new Easter bonnet and outfit to match (oh yeah)….Seems I was a fashion victim even then.

Don’t eat too many Easter eggs …..

It’s been a really weird one don’t you think – crazy weather, hotter than hot one week and then almost as cool as a mild winters day. What would we do if we didn’t have the weather to complain about? There would be a serious lack of conversation between us all. My thoughts and prayers go out to all families who have been affected in the fires and floods, I’ve been thinking about you a lot.

I’ve just spent a week on the Hawksbury River taking in the sites and doing some fishing. Honestly I fished from first thing in the morning till last light. It’s nice to do nothing but appreciating nature and hope to feel that magical bite on the end of your fishing rod – and hope like hell that there’s something on the end of the line that you can handle. Watched a great movie while we were away – MARIGOLD HOTEL – I’d heard about it and finally purchased the DVD – if you’ve not seen it, do yourself a favour and check it out. It’s a real gem.

Anyway that’s me for now. My love to you and yours. Stay happy and stay well. Marcia x
