Today we went ashore in St. John, New Brunswick, wandered around, went to a museum, visited a local craft shop, checked out several stores selling yarn, saw a couple of old churches, ate lunch and came back on board. That may all sound boring, but it was an enjoyable day. We know that a lot of folks are disappointed not to have sailed to Bermuda, but we have enjoyed two places we’ve never been, and I’m going to do some talks on the two stops, because there are regularly scheduled cruises, especially for Autumn Leaves (which drift by my window – autumn leaves of red and gold).
The fun began at supper. We have a great table, and the two young ladies who sit to my left are certified hoots.
They took a ship’s walking tour yesterday, and one of their fellow tourers was a young man who said his girlfriend was asleep in their cabin, and asked if he could walk with them and be their boyfriend for the day. They agreed and had an enjoyable day. After the tour, he invited them to go to the 70's Disco Street Party and meet his girlfriend. I am waiting for the results of that.
After dessert had been served Danielle’s cell phone rang. It was a text message telling her she was roaming and the charge was $15 a minute. With a small shriek of horror she realized that she left it on when she came back on board, and it had been racking up roaming for four hours for a total of $3600! Oh my goodness!
Jess and Danielle have lots of fun making a list of the things Bonnie and I have never done. The whole table was talking one night about going to Disney World. We’ve never been there. Danielle said, “We’ll have to take a cruise and take you there.” Last night was the Bon Jovi tribute act. The table was talking about all of the rock concerts they’ve been to. We’ve never been to a rock concert. So we are definitely arranging a cruise to Disney World because they have rock concerts there. Las Vegas. Nope. And it goes on. They have great fun with our world travels now as retirees, but stay-at-homes before. But I have them wanting to sail with us in December. Whether they are serious or not, I don’t know, but they said they would check their calendars. Good times.
Well, one more day at sea, one more talk, one more night at Table 346, and then we turn into pumpkins.
TTFN!
