@sea enroute to Bali, Indonesia

Last night was a formal night and it was great.  It was the french theme and the food was wonderful.  They had the production show Curtain Call which we have seen numerous times but just love it when it ends with the huge Mama Mia finale.  Everyone is always up on the feet dancing and singing.  After the show I wanted to go to the dico for Karoke.  Bill took me in and I was greeted by Josef the hotel director  I ordered a dirty martini and Bill went next door to smoke his cigar.  David and Karen host the Kareoke and were doing a great job.  Three different people got up to sing and they all had great voices.  I sang along where I sat.  We closed the place down at 1:00am and then I read till 2:30am.  It was a long day and night,
Bill woke me up a little after 8:00 he was watching the Morning SHow with Rick and Elise and they always have trivia for prizes.  It was like Wheel of Fortune  you had to guess the phrase.  I could hardly see since I just woke up didn't have the hearing aid in but I knew it was Into Thin Air so I called and won leather luggage tags!  After the morning show we went down for breakfast as Bill had a date to play backgammon with Leo.  Leo is the Matre D of the dining room.  We met Becky and she joined us for breakfast. Bill went to his golf clinic and I wasn't interested in the lecture so I went to watch Bill hit the ball.  Only thing is that they were doing  Yoga today!
 Lunch time they had a jazz brunch and it was great.  After having my chocolate fix I came back to the stateroom for a rest until Memoir writing.  Then it was back to relax before we met Tom and Cheryl for an earlier dinner.  Tom and Cheryl usually eat at 6:00 and we usually eat at 8:30 so Leo and Augusto had a nice table for us for 7pm.  They had the swordfish I had the veal.  Augusto ordered us a special dessert.  Tiramisu it was without a doubt the best Tiramisu I have ever eaten!  After dinner we went to the show it was a magician and he was very good.  I am going to finish my 10th book.  I started it 3 days ago The Girl with the Tatoo can't remember the real name.  All in all another glorious day at sea!
We have another sea day tomorrow but we are arriving into Bali tomorrow evening instead of the next morning.  All the work I did on my memoirs the other night is gone.  I can't find it and I have to rewrite my chapter on Hannibal as Joe want's to have that chapter read at the end of this segment.  So folks I have homework to do.
And as Bill says Another day in the books!
Augusto promised Bill a surprise.  I think  he is making him spaghetti with clam sauce.  They discussed it and he said they did not have any fresh clams on board.  But they did load up on all kinds of fish in Perth!
So good night and God Bless!
