Gee, I need a vacation from my sea days!

 

 The puzzle from 9:56 pm yesterday….there seems to be a real commitment to this thing!

The one nice thing about sea days, we can sleep in ! Unfortunately,sleeping in means a hurried breakfast because we don’t want to miss anything! Our 9am lecture today was named”Fun with Flags” and if you ever watched The Big Bang Theory  you would be familiar with the concept. Our specialist Todd has joined us in Toronto and so far has proved to be a fabulous lecturer. 

 

After Todd”s lecture, we headed to another part of the ship where I spent an hour with the craft group working on a slow stitching project I brought with me ( I could learn knitting or crocheting here also) and Al attended another lightening talk on some topic that interested him. When I showed up for craft club the crew was having a full blown emergency test..

After seeing the response, I certainly feel safe!

Next up for me was the ships’s book club! Viking has picked 4 books that are relevant to our itinerary for the World cruise. Our group decided to read this one first

I now have homework !

After book club it was time to check in on Al and the Trivia contest.. we have a small but mighty team and from the look on their faces as I approached, things didn’t look good… we cant complain though, our team has won almost every day! We have a friendly rivalry going with a team from Ottawa…they didn’t do well today either!

Lunch is next and it had to be a quick one today…first, walking the buffet line was tough due to the rocking and rolling of the ship…and then secondly we had things to do!!!!

Al headed off to play bridge ( yes he found player he knew from our World Cruise) and I made it to Mahjong 

Im getting a little better, at least I no longer choke and cry after I get my tiles.. If I keep this up I might actually feel good about playing when I get home!

After mahjong it was a rush to get to watercolor class. I need to do a little more work on my painting. You see the waterfall, right?

Al and returned from cards and we are getting ready for dinner in the Italian Restaurant Manfredi’s tonight then out for a concert from a guest artist from Broadway.

This  sea day is exhausting!

Tomorrow we get to go to Immigration in New York and have plans to spend our day enjoying the city
