You’ll notice that it says “#1” next to today’s date. That is because on this cruise, this week we will have two Wednesdays. Tonight we cross the international date line and go back in time 24 hours. So, we will go to bed tonight on Wednesday night and wake up tomorrow on Wednesday morning. Weird, huh? Today I slept in late, and woke up at 9:30 only because Karen woke me up after she got back from the gym.. We went to breakfast and then sat on loungers by the pool. I had my iPhone with me and was listening to music when I promptly fell asleep. Karen & Christine did a “cocktail mixology” class and brought me back some kind of sweet cocktail. I drank some of it and went back to sleep. They woke me up for a 2PM lunch, after which I headed down to the cabin for – guess what? – a nap!!! I planned on getting up by 5PM to go work out again, but my plans fell apart and I woke up after 6:30PM. Karen had her first massage today while I “napped” and she reports that it was very therapeutic. Tonight’s dress code for dinner is “informal” so I have to wear a jacket but no tie. We met our friends for pre-dinner martinis and got the “martini tasting” which has 6 different martinis to sample. The green apple martinis tasted pretty good… Dinner was excellent as usual. Our new friends Paul and Angela are entertaining conversationalists and have plenty of stories to keep us amused throughout dinner. I have my arsenal of jokes and tell a few every evening. I have made Angela (who is the very proper English lady) blush and raise her eyebrows quite a few times. Oh, well… After dinner Karen and Christine went gambling in the casino while I went to see a new western at the theatre. The movie was called “The Proposition” and promised to be exciting and full of action. It really sucked!!! By the time I got back to the cabin Karen was already in bed. Apparently she didn’t win big at the casino.
