Another Sea Day

Wednesday March 10, 2010
Today we only awoke around 9:30 and after breakfast we decided we needed a short nap and that’s exactly what we did. That is the beauty of vacation isn’t...you can do exactly what you want when you want. I spent most of the remainder of the day on our balcony watching the world slide by. There is nothing to see but miles and miles of ocean and I never tire of gazing at the vastness of it. Dun wandered around the ship a bit and walked his daily mile. Before leaving the room for dinner, Dun decided that we needed to make a stuffed dummy to put in our bed for our stateroom attendant Francisco. We made the legs of pools towels, the body from a pillow, arms from regular towels and the head we rolled from a regular towel that we then wrapped in a black tea shirt. We used cut up band aids to make a mouth and nose and then we put sunglasses and a hat we left a note saying “do not disturb, Francisco is sleeping” He thought it was really funny. Tonight was our 3rd and last formal night for the cruise and we had a delightful surprise... we were invited to have dinner at the Hotel Director and manager of Guest Relation’s table. The Hotel Director, Rodney Darwin is responsible for everything on the ship which is non marine related and he is second in command. He hails from Toronto and he and Sheldon had quite a conversation about the Maple Leafs. After dinner we again retired to the lounge for wine and champagne. I think Sheldon has acquired a taste of white wine..he had 3 glasses at dinner and 1 glass in the concierge lounge..but then maybe it’s because it is free lol. All in all another great day
