Today is our first sea day of the cruise — for you “non-cruisers” out there, a sea day is a day when we don’t dock or anchor anywhere…we just move along at 15 knots or soen-route to the next stop. We are currently en-route to Costa Rica! Some pretty big swells today and I felt a little queasy after breakfast…but a little lunch and some ginger ale and I’m good to go! Where I’m going isn’t very far actually but I could if there was someplace to go.
Today, we went to a lecture put on by Terry Waite. You may recall that Terry Waite was, among other things a hostage negotiator who became a hostage himself for 5 years in Beirut. It was an interesting lecture and we plan on having dinner with him at some point to get to know him better. Maybe after we attend the other four lectures. Stay tuned on this one. (PS: We did have dinner with him – in fact he said it was one of the best times he had on the cruise! and we did a post on that).
We ended up dining in our room last night. Dale brought the first five seasons of the TV program “Lost” with us and there are something like 24 one hour episodes! Needless to say we are getting lost in “Lost”! (PS: We have a blog entry on completing all the Lost episodes later on). So after showering last night in preparation for another evening out – we decided to eat in the room while watching “Lost”. Our butler “Tapin” delivered the three courses we ordered in 20 minutes intervals. It was quite decadent and wonderful!
Marlene Shirley - Thanks for the informative email, Dale. We had neighbors once from Costa Rica. I can’t even imagine experiencing all that you are doing and seeing. I’m not very knowledgable on different cultures but I find it so interesting to see how others live. We are so blessed to live in this great country, but it is scarry to see what is happening as our leaders continue to make choices that seem to be in opposition to what our founding fathers believed in. Happy cruising! Love, Marlene
