My husband an I recently returned from a wonderful vacation. We traveled on a cruise ship for a transatlantic trip from Miami to Barcelona and then spent a few days in Barcelona, Madrid & Lisbon. I’ll be posting a page I promised my fellow travelers later this week–inventive drink recipes I learned on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Martini Clinic. For my more regular visitors (Regency Romance readers and writers) here’s a picture I took in Lisbon of a formal menswear ensemble. In Europe, it looks like there is a return to the Cravat. Hooray!

Later in May, I’m scheduled to write a post for The Dashing Duchesses on the Royal Palace in Madrid. It’s good to be home!
