I have been sitting at my desk for several minutes, trying to gather my thoughts and write a summary of ‘Our cruise’...  but it seems I'm not ready yet. As if the fact that it's over still hasn't sunk in – but how come it ended, when? Gosh, I'm not being very sharp these days :)

For me, this cruise hasn't finished yet and it will last forever. All those experiences  I have gained during this cruise will remind me of it.
In your letters you ask me if I have changed. I'd say: ‘yes!’ Someone told me that such a cruise is like a crash course of life. Today, I know that he was right. When you see so much beauty around the world , your 'perspective' and attitude to many things change.  And this pensive mood (nostalgy?) is incessantly creeping into my life... so please forgive me if I muse over something  when we speak, or if my eyes wander somewhere in the distance, searching for the remote views and situations which I carefully cherish in my memory: the blue sky, boundless ocean, dolphins...
I don't know how I'm going to come back  to my new (old) life on land and what I will do when I have to put on elegant clothes, do my hair and do all the things that adults are supposed to do. I wonder how many times you will tell me that I'm weird..?

I will tell you stories from the cruise at the meetings which I will organize in the nearest future in Poland. I hope you will have time to come and listen to me. I will be glad to see you!

Now, I'm sitting in an airplane coming back from the Hawaiian Islands to Poland. I'm going to my mum for Christmas. I'm really looking forward to this meeting, the snow...
I would like to wish you happy Christmas, a lot of joy and...  I wish all your DREAMS COME TRUE in the New Year!
