Second Day at Sea Day 5

It is getting a little easier to wake up in the morning . This time we were all up at 7:30 am and eating breakfast in the Da Vinci Dining Room by 8:20. This morning we spent some time enjoying the sun on deck.

JG and I learned 3, maybe 4 line dances at line dancing class. We then stayed on for trivial pursuit. We teamed up with a father daughter from Seattle to answer 13 of 20 questions correctly. Winning team had 18 correct so we have room for improvement.

J played bridge for the second day in a row with the same partner. He seems to enjoy it! The kids and I went poolside for a swim in the afternoon . We then participated in a scavenger hunt where the first thing we had to do was get from deck 7 to deck 17. As it is my personal motto to only use the stairs unless schlepping luggage on this cruise, I sprinted for the stairs with P flashing past me. JG bemoaned ten flights of stairs and took the elevator! We only had 15 minutes to complete the challenge and we did the best we could - not enough to win though! But I did feel like 15 minutes of racing certainly counted as aerobic exercise today.

J and P spotted flying fish in front of the boat this afternoon so that was exciting! J was also thrilled to discover channel 39 that tells us where in the world we are, temperature , and waves expected. Today we started at 27 C.

We dressed in our finest to go out for dinner on our first formal evening. After dinner P and I went to listen to the comedian, and it turns out, talented musician, in the Princess Theatre. JG and J went to see Snow White and the Huntsman on the big screen under the stars.

Now packed and organized for our first port in Aruba tomorrow. I put ear drops in P's ear, and while his hearing isn't very good, he doesn't seem to have pain.
