Stern sitting today

Finally a really nice day to enjoy the ship. We normally spend the sea  days here.

Such a late crossing this time that it was much cooler. 

Time to pack up!!!!

Thanks...

Tried to capture towel elephant on the thank you  card for our stewards.

I've picked up a cold form George wo got it waiting for pickleball games the first day!   Note to self, bring cough meds. Drops don't help much!

Happy to be getting home and looking forward to all our plans for the holidays and beyond 

Last two days...

 We have only one more sailing day after today.  They have been lazy days and fairly smooth until yesterday.  Now we are really rocking. and it's not even as rough as last night.

The food on this ship has been great.  Except for things I experimented tasting, everything has been great tasting and attractive.  I forget to take photos before digging in, however!  One night we went to the specialty steak house.  The food was even better with huge portions.  Both of us had stuffed tummies and swore we wouldn't need to eat the next day.  But we did of course.  We had had a really nice lunch that same day, steak again, I would never schedule both in one day again!!

I've enjoyed the origami classes and new friends and relaxing.  Now we're both ready to get busy with landscapers, the new exhibit at Big Arts, and Christmas.  And hopefully some painting time, especially before I teach!!

just sailing along

 These days are slow and leisurely as we make our way across the sea.  I've done a couple of art classes that were a nice break.  Origami seahorse and penguin were fun to learn.  We'll see if I can ever do them again!

Food is very good on this ship and we are enjoying far too much of it.  Today we will attend the Mariners Brunch and I expect even better dishes from what I've heard.  The invitation was a surprise to us and a nice perk.  Tonight we are going to the Pinnacle Grill, a steak house, and favorite of mine.  I've also discovered why people were taking so many mandarin oranges, they are fresh and delicious.

We're taking notes on what to bring on the next voyage....so far Band-Aids are on top of the list!! Between blisters and bumps we are using up the supply!

I'll post my seahorse and penguin from my phone.  We switch between pc and phone as only one device can be on at a time.  Less expensive and fine.  This new Starlink internet is great though!!

Seahorse

Yum!!!

Oops I ate half before I remembered to take a photo.  🍫 With raspberry under it. Beef bourgone (sp) was pretty good too. 

We had a nice day and were able to sit outside finally.  Spent a long time at lunch chatting with new friends from Vancouver. 

Met another couple from Scotland who live very close to where my great grandfather was from and they said there were lots of Hughs there.

Rick and roll show tonight...fun!!!

A windy day in the caldera....
