Today is another Sea Day and we had a few things to see! First, we see Margaret working in the room. She had a busy day on conference calls but she has a good time! She really enjoys what she is doing with her work. So off I went to explore what was going on.
We were crossing the Equator today and, well, it turns out that you really can’t see it. But, you can see a a “celebration” of sorts on the ship. The idea is to act out “King Neptune” coming to visit the ship to wish us well. I checked this out and said it was pretty strange and he has the pictures to prove it!
Both of us had some spa time this week — me a facial and hot stone massage and him a facial, deep tissue and mani/pedi! The major difference with Canyon Ranch taking over the spa is that they finally got a real pedicure chair (previously it was fairly awkward to get a pedicure as you had to put your foot into the girls lap!). We both were happy with the services so far.
This afternoon there was a presentation for the people that were on the Regent-sponsored Machu Picchu tour. Since this tour was sold out we had to negotiate our own “independent” tour. We did manage to get into the overview session that was being narrated by the Wonderful Terry Breen and found a pretty large crowd in attendance. We learned a lot about what we were in for and got pretty excited about this big trip! (PS: Little did we know what we were in for at this point).
We had dinner in Compass Rose, finishing off the Magnum that we had started the night before. As you can see, Margaret has made friends with all of the sommeliers…what’s not to like!
Margaret received an interesting purse holder from her friend Jale before leaving on the trip. The idea is that you don’t want to set your purse on the floor for if you do you’ll lose all your money! And, Lord knows, we don’t want to do that. So, she religiously uses this ingenious device all the time now and it reallly works well!
