January 6 Thru 10, 2010
Ship life is still good. With 5 23-hours days, we seem to be sleeping in later each day. The temperature outside most days has been in the low 50’s. Two of the lecturers are the same as last year’s cruise and their talks were the nearly the same. The singers & dancers are performing the same programs and some of performers also. We still enjoy them when attend. However we have seen several movies at the Illumination theatre including: “Julie & Julia”, Time Traveler’s Wife”, The Stone Family”, “The International”, and “500 Days of Summer” and all or part of the following on TV: “Hitch”, “Mamma Mia”, “The Bourne Identity”, “Employee of the Month”, and “10 Items or Less”.
Gloria and Lloyd, from Toronto have been good company and it was fun to see how many of the crew was still on board. We have been at a table for six this week, but our waitress from last time will be taking care of us starting Monday at a table for eight. She was really good at learning our tastes and needs so we were happy to have the change.
