Spain played a trick on us this morning.  They fell back and didn’t tell us.  Fortunately my phone updates automatically, but that didn’t help Bonnie when she had a different time on her watch.  Google let me know all was well.  So we are 5 hours different from Augusta GA for now.  We will change times until we are on the same as you – several times over the voyage.  One hour at a time.

But then we tried to sign on so Bonnie could check her Yahoo email.  Oh my goodness!  Luke, if you would, your best accent.  And that was before we were connected to Yahoo’s pay support service from Bombay.  30 minutes to get my phone number and email added to her account so we could get an alternate sign in for her – Spain doesn’t recognize Augusta, GA.  And for a one time fee of $9.99 all is taken care of.  The customer service agent had to go by a script, which was frustrating since we were paying – who knows how much.

But as I used to tell groups we took to Russia, you are going to a foreign country (“and doubtless their customs will seem strange to us”).  We are not going to Russia World at Disney World.  Or Spain World at Disney World.

No problem getting on board, zooming through security.  Lunch, a quick nap, and I had a meeting with the entertainment director, then supper, now back in the room.  I’m going to look over my Cadiz talk coming up in two days, and then bed time.

Mom promises she will blog tomorrow.
