Things are incredibly exciting here on the Symphony of the Seas.  For instance, I forgot to tell you that we hung a new roll of toilet paper on Tuesday, having finished the roll that was up when boarded.  And the big excitement today was getting our departure instructions and our baggage tickets.  Mom has started packing.  Since we’ve worn everything we brought, it is basically my dirty clothes in my suitcase and her dirty clothes in hers.  Much laundry come Monday.

Today was my last talk, “Flight 19 and the Legend of the Bermuda Triangle.”  It is always a well-attended talk.  It looked like about 400 there.  When I started, I pushed my clicker and the slides wouldn’t change – I looked down and I had forgotten to plug the dongle in.  The Bermuda Triangle strikes again.

 

Supper tonight was not much.  The veal in my Osso Bucco Gremolata was very good and incredible tender – cut it with the fork.  The vegetables were nothing extra and the pollenta was thick and lumpy, not creamy and smooth.  But the strawberry ice cream and coffee were very good.  Bonnie ordered prime rib medium well.  It came out rare.  But she said the baked potato was good.

One more night for the marathon Cassino card game.  I am behind 336 to 339.  Last chance tomorrow to catch up and claim the title.  

We are going to try to sleep in tomorrow (try not, do or do not) have a late breakfast and then go ashore in Nassau for a little bit.

Bonnie told me a minute ago she was not sleeping, but just resting.  And now I hear sounds of sleeping coming from the bed.  So ...
