Wow we have been so busy. My memoir writing class is coming along. Joe Kita who is a published journalist and has written 3 memoirs is the teacher. He read the start of mine and told me I needed to expand more, more details and descriptions. Are you hearing this Chris, Melissa and Luke who never listen to my messages just call back because they say "you go on and on". There are 3 lectures each day and the last two days have just been packed with even more stuff to do. Today there was a fashion show from Hubert the Jeweler( he designed my emerald pendant) I also got my black pearls from him, Unfortunately it was at the same time as Memoir writing so I did not go. The other day was the Grand Gala Buffet and I will post a few pictures. Last night was a formal night sorry no pictures. We had a cocktail party before for the Crystal Society members. These are the people who have sailed with Crystal before they honor you when you hit a milestone. One lady who is always on just hit her 220th cruise! She just about lives on the ship! Dinner was the french dinner. Onion soup and I had Veal Cordon Blue, Bill had Rack of Lamb! And for desserts they had the Grand marnier souffles. Now note to self. 2 grey goose dirty martinis is at least 1 to many. By the time we got to the dining room I was swaying of course our waiter and senior waiter said it was not me it was the ship! So they poured all this Grand Marnier into the souffle. The show was a headliner from Las Vegas who sounded just like Nat King Cole and sang all his songs. He was wonderful. Tonight will be a comedian. Today is a casual day. Every other day we get a letter from the World Cruise Hostess Elise Ivey. I want that girl's enthusiam and energy. Today she meet with us and I have an appointment with her tomorrow. They want to know what they can do to make your cruise experience better. I did tell her I hate the new chocolate covered dried apples! What to my wonderous eyes should appear last night. Real chocolate truffles~!!!!!!! As I write this I have finished my 6th book and have taken out one from library a memoir. Will have to read a few of these to get the hint. Actually Joe loved my title and thought what I wrote so far was really good and funny just needed more description. So I am editing this and trying to inject more descriptions into it. Bill has finally finished the book he took with us like 4 cruises ago. yeah Bill.
We crossed the equator last night around 10pm so no party but they are having a mid-day mid-earth party tomorrow. When I came back from my class in our mailbox was an invitation for cocktails in the Capain's quarters on Wednesday more to follow. Will I will upload a couple of pictures from the gala buffet and then get ready for dinner.
Good night and God bless
