Wednesday 16 November – at sea. Our fourth day at sea, and I’m not getting as much writing done as I’d hoped I was going to do. So, is that due to over-zealousness, having too much fun on the cruise, poor planning, laziness, or. . .?
We lost an hour of sleep last night as we turned our clocks ahead one hour, one of the penalties for traveling almost due East, as we are right now toward Oman. After lunch I spent about an hour talking with Kurt and Camilla (two from Sweden who were on tours in Jordan and Israel with us) about their invention (zipper replacement), and what I need to do for my poker game (no details of the game were revealed). Camilla suggested creating iPad app (and others) to generate demand (after getting patents) before approaching any casinos.
Tonight was out third formal dinner; Darlene’s top wrap was a piece she bought in Sydney, Australia last year. She accented it with a clip with jade in it, along with a matching necklace and earrings. Here were are at dinner with Kurt and Camilla. They live in the town of Visby, which is on Gotand, the largest island in Sweden. When our family went on a Baltic Cruise in 2004, the one place our ship did not stop was Visby because the water were too rough for the tenders to take us to shore. With our new friends, and with my Swedish heritage, we might now have better reasons for returning to Sweden.
We’ve been very fortunate on the cruise with our My Time Dining to be able to eat at the same time each evening (6:45) and usually with the same Head Waiter (Joey) and Assistant Waiter (Johnny). They have given us excellent service, and they are very diligent workers. In this picture, Joey is on the left, and Johnny is on the right.
