day 2

Hi,

This is our first full day at sea, and a good thing it was a sea day, as we all were still adjusting to the heat, as well as getting our sea legs. We explored the ship, locating the shopping level, theater, as well as the nooks and crannies. Eat, read, nap, eat, yes we found the cafeteria, and the cappuccino bar. I remember a time when the idea of a cruise just seemed stupid, and should be for old folks only, then I tried it. Now I feel that you should try it while still young, so you can get full value, from all the activities. For a guy who prefers the back country to the city, and who prefers a bivi to a hotel, this may seem a contradiction. But well, its cool to play dress up, and be spoiled rotten. Then go on a day trip and enjoy our choice of adventure, then return to the ship, for yet more food. Ya just never know when a feast will suddenly break out. The washing of hands was on going, with crew members assigned to entranceways just to squirt a cleaning solution onto everyone's hands as we entered the dinning area, as well as whenever we reentered the ship after a day trip. Our first formal dinning secession was that night, with the guys in tuxes, and the girls in their finest, WOW, what a sight. Tomorrow will see us in Aruba, I look forward to my first dive secession, of this trip.........to be continued..............A&K
