@sea enroute to Dutch Harbor, Alaska


Today was day 2 of our 7 sea days.  There is always so much to do on sea days.  Today Bill and I slept in between closing down the Pulse Disco the other night and giving back an hour each night we were exhausted.  So we slept late and loved it.  We had a small bite to eat in the Bistro with Becky, then I had to meet Joe Kita to discuss my memoir writing.  I am a little stuck don't know if I should end it here or keep going.  We got that straightened out and he told me that I have a natural ability to write to keep going.  After that I went back up to the Bistro and sat with Betty, Becky and Pat for a little while.  It has been rocking and rollin all day.  Rick came on the speaker and advised everyone that all activities scheduled in Palm Court have been moved to Stardust Club and afternoon tea would be held in the Dining Room.  Bill went up to the Palm court to read but it was so noisy with all the wind he soon found me in the Bistro with my computer working on my memoirs.  We had a great lunch and headed to the Cove to see Nikki to sign up for a  cruise next year.  We then played three games of backgammon.  


We then went to see photos and see if there were anymore that we liked.  We headed back to the cabin and Bill watched a dvd and I rested.  We did miss the entertainment tonight as it was at 7pm.  I actually hate when it is early because it is a rush to get there.  We had dinner at the usual time of 8:30 but then after dinner there is no show. Augusto made us his Caesar Salad and Bill had wild boar goulash with a side of the halibut.  I had the Veal Pizziola it was excellent.
 Bill headed for the cigar lounge and since I didn't want to go to the Avenue by myself, and I am tired, I headed back up to the cabin to work on this blog.


We must give back another hour tonight and I hear we must give back 6 or 7 before we reach Dutch Harbor  Tonight is number 3.  I loved when we were gaining I hate giving them back!!!!!!


Tomorrow we are invited to cocktails at the Captain's Quarters as this is the final leg of the world cruise.  Friday we are having a cocktail party to wear anything pertinent to where we have been.  I must think about this!!!!!  Bill did buy himself a hat in Australia I am not wearing my new cocktail dress or suit so I must see what I can do!!!!
We will be crossing the International Dateline again in  a few days, this time instead of losing a day we will have April 6th twice.  Kinda like the movie Groundhog day!


Another great day on Crystal. Again I can't believe how fast this is going!
So good night and God Bless.
