Carole: Third day afloat
I started the day at the onboard gym, which is nicely equipped. Didn't spend a lot of time there--just enough to make me feel virtuous. Then after a quick breakfast, attended a second lecture on the history of theater. Then a quick lunch and off to the planetarium (to see a different show fron yesterday's) After that, a chamber-music concert. Also managed to find the shopping area. And last night at the casino I actually came out a few dollars ahead on the slot nachines. There's a very nice library on board, so I picked up a couple of books. Don't know if I will actually have time to read them, though. One of the women in our tour group, Linda Barry, has published a whole series of mysteries, but alas they don't have her books in the ship's library. We got all gussied up last night for the captain's welcome party and then dinner. There was dancing later in the evening, but David was feeling a little "off," so we skipped that. We've changed time zones a couple of times and are now 5 hours ahead of Oregon.

Tamara here (I need to change the name on my google account, I think). Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I appreciated your opening comment about what a wonderful way this is going to be to get to London. I couldn't agree more -- an ocean voyage seems so romantic, and certainly allows for a more contemplative and more deeply felt journey. I think I will share these entries with my sweetie so we can live vicariously through your words as well as to perhaps inspire us to follow suit some day.
