Setting sail...

You see that? That's a yacht. Do you know where it is? It's in Turkey. Do you know who is going there? MEEEEEEEE! 

Picture spoilt-brat me sprawled across a Turkish deck chair, the Turkish wind in my hair, 5th Turkish G&T in my hand, the Turkish catch of the day in my tum, a Turkish olive tan (I hope) and the endless unparalleled views of the Turkish coast, and maybe some good-looking Turkish boat crew. Yup – am now a very important journalist being whipped off on a travel story for my wonderful, amazing, fabulous magazine, which consists of a week's sailing down Turkey's coastline with none other than Lovely Boyfriend on a luxury 14-person 'ketcha' (ya, me neither). So I have one month to tone up, find my sea legs (sure I put them somewhere), and wangle some highlights out of my mother (if not, I heard lemon works?). And also to save – despite it being an all-expenses-paid trip, I doubt this will cover my obsession with buying rings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, sarongs (I could go on) in foreign countries. Last time I was in Turkey I'm pretty sure I bought enough jewellery to accessorize my entire extended family. 

Anyway – great news to start the weekend with. I think it'll be a real Turkish Delight (see what I did there?). This calls for some bubbly...!

  1. Okay... I think you made a mistake. The sentence
    "a week's sailing down Turkey's coastline with none other than Lovely Boyfriend on a luxury 14-person 'ketcha'"
    should actually read
    "a week's sailing down Turkey's coastline with none other than Housemate-meister on a luxury 14-person 'ketcha'"
