Got free email

Just got a minute to email you directly.  We are still having fun.  Surprising isn't it.  We live in a little room, but someone makes the bed and cooks our food and cleans up afterwards.  Not too shabby.  So far we have had a lot of days at sea, which we have enjoyed.  It seems there is too much to do.  I sang yesterday at a talent nite.  It was fun.  We have a lot of talented people on the ship. 

 

Mostly at sea, I sleep late, to 9 or so, and Duane goes to Bridge lessons, then to a lectue/discussion on the bible.  We meet for lunch, buffet, then I may go play maj jong, or we go to another bridge lesson together, then maybe tap dance lessons or line dancing or whatever.  We try to walk around the deck or do some excercise regularly, but we don't always succeedf.  Sometimes they have parties with games and giveaways.  So far we have won 4 bottles of champagne and 3 hats, and 3 tote bags and spa treatents. 

 

Marty Allen and his wife performed recently.  He is still very funny and a nice man.  Since it is a small ship we see everyone around and talk to them casually.  Every evening there is a show.  We have late seating dinner so we start dinner at 8 and finish at about 10.  We have a very friendly table.  We laugh all thru dinner and some snobs at the next table are annoyed.  Too bad. 

 

From now on we will be having a lot more land days.  Right now I am in Guam.  (see blog)  day after tomorrow we will pass Iwo Jima then on to Japan, I think. 

 

We have met some nice Italian people, they actually live in the US and England, and we take land excursions with them.  Pretty much we have stopped going on ship excusions and have gone by ourselves.  The guides on the ship excursions have not been very goodd so far.  Hopefully when it is important, in Egypt, etc.  they will be better. 

 

Hope all is well with you guys.  You can email us and we will get it whenever.  Just don't send any attachments.  Our internet is very slow and it costs 50 cents per minute.  That's using our own computer.  But emails download fast. 

 

Love you lots, keep well.
