Well we are on the way home. It’s beautiful in the 80’s, nice breeze, blue skies. We have been so blessed with good weather on this trip. No big wins at the casino. I think in total over the week so far I’ve won almost $400 but I probably spent at least that much to win it. And Glenn has about $600.
Today I finished my book. Woooo. It’s been so long since I read a book. Usually I get all these books and get ½ way through them. It’s been a very long time since I’ve read a fiction novel. I finished Fern Michael’s Hokus Pokus. It was a good mystery, adventure story. I still have another day and ½ so I think I’ll at least start Nora Roberts’s Mysterious.
Tonight is the last formal dinner. I hate those things. At this point in my life I just want to be comfortable but Glenn wants to go because they are having lobster….so I guess I will go.
We played bingo again today. No winners but we got pretty close a couple of times. Glenn likes to play bingo.
This morning Captain Rob came on and said, “Good Morning, Ladies (long pause) and gentlemen. Today I have good news and bad news. I will give you the bad news first. The bad news is we are returning to Baltimore, the good news is we have over 1,200 nautical miles to get there.” Gotta love Captain Rob.
He also pointed out that we were over the Sargasso sea. He pointed out it’s famous for its large grass beds but I wanted him to add that it is the spawning ground for all the eels in the world…I wanted to yell it out but I thought I’d better not, someone might think I’m nuts.
Tonight the entertainment was Beatle Manics. They were very good.
It was nice not to have to worry about going to a port today. I could sleep in. I’ve been doing lots of sleeping here. Lots of naps – sometimes 2 times a day. I will be very well rested when I return. I think Glenn and I are the only people on the ship without sunburns. I’ve used a lot of sunscreen and tried to stay in the shade. Some people look like fresh cooked lobsters! Dumb dumb dumb………………..
