April Fools Day at Sea

Margaret is still feeling under the weather so she decided to rest up again.  It turns out there is something going around the ship…a dry hacking cough and congestion. She is trying to get over it before we hit our stride in Egypt…when we have multiple, back-to-back 12+ hour days traveling to some of the most interesting places we’ll see on this cruise.

I had breakfast and lunch in La Veranda and worked on the blog the rest of the day.  It was a formal optional night and the Captain’s Welcome party and we were supposed to have dinner with Paul and Kathy.

I called them and said that we wouldn’t be able to make it.  A few minutes later, Paul came to the door with a little blue Angry Bird plush toy that made Angry Bird noises.  That cheered Margaret up!  If you didn’t know, Margaret is a huge Angry Bird fan and probably still in the top 10% in the world of Angry Bird players.  She’s been trying to get her scores up in the latest incarnation called Space (as in outer space).

Two more movies, including Tom Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal, that was partly filmed in Dubai and includes many scenes shot at the Burj Kahlifa building we had just ascended.

I decided to stay in the room and have dinner with Margaret so our butler brought the menu from Compass Rose and we both had nice duck dinners.  Margaret crashed and I did some more blog work and then fell asleep at 10:30 pm with Fox News Sunday on in the background.  We’re starting to get used to seeing Fox shows at odd hours.  I guess we’ll just have to record everything until we get acclimated after we get home in a few weeks.
