More sea
days…ho…hum…I know we should be grateful to be on vacation and to be out here
in the middle of the beautiful Atlantic, but I’m about ready to jump overboard
and swim home!! Way too much time to ourselves!
Have done a few
interesting things though. Watched a
cake decorating demonstration by the pastry chef and a turkey carving
demonstration by several of the head chefs.
They make it look so easy J Mine never come out that way!
Also, one of the
people on our roll call set up iPad/iPhone classes and they have been
great. I’ve learned quite a few hints
about using both my iPad and iPhone…like swiping up with four fingers to see
which apps are open and how to close them so I’m not using so much battery life…how
to take a screenshot by pressing the home and power button at the same
time. Also learned about a lot of great
apps to use for everyday as well as for travel and learned more about using the
camera on my iPhone. Kudos to this great
couple for taking the time before and during the cruise to plan and implement
these great classes!
Speaking of
technology, I am amazed at the number of “old people” on the ship who have
ipads, nooks and kindles. They are
everywhere! I guess people of all ages
are realizing that you no longer need to carry lots of books or even games with
you when you travel. Just tuck your iPad
under your arm and you’re ready to go!!
Speaking of “old
people”, Bill and I saw one young couple on the ship today…we’re thinking they
must be honeymooners. Must feel pretty
strange to know that everyone else on the ship is at least 25 years older than
you!! Well…not really…there are 5 kids
on boards...two youngsters about 3 & 4 who are with their parents and
grandparents (they were also at our hotel in Venice) and three young girls
about 9 or 10 or so. I’m guessing they
are sisters or cousins cause they are always together. Lots of people our age (or so it seems) and
just a few who are a lot older (again, or so it seems).
Did pizza and a movie
again at MUTS tonight…saw Man on a Ledge.
It was a pretty good movie and you couldn’t beat the price!!!
Ahhh…we know the
cruise is coming to end soon…we got our disembarkation luggage tags today. We don’t leave the ship until 10:15 am on
Sunday which means by the time we get to the rental car place and get our car
we won’t be out of Ft. Lauderdale until 11 or so and won’t be home until
probably after 4 PM…figuring we’ll most likely stop for lunch. Thanks to Lynda and John back in The Villages
we won’t have to worry about dinner…they’ve invited us over as they know we won’t
have anything in the house….You guys are the BEST!!!
