There is a saying that you really get to know someone when you travel with them.

This week I confirmed what I knew. I love my friends.

Spending a week with them on our boat was marvelous. It was easy, like wearing your favorite cashmere sweater.

Time did not exist except for meals and cocktails…every so often someone would say…what day is it today?

We laughed, played games, cooked, cried, looked up at the stars and wished, and…monitored The Four Season’s auction from afar…then we cried again.

The possibility of sitting in silence was also amazing. Not having to say anything. Just being.

I am grateful for having such delightful, wise, considerate, loving, out of this world friends. Best gift ever.
