I was slow to start my day today, mostly because I had nothing on the schedule this morning. I could also see (on the ship’s webcam) white caps on the water and rain on the camera and heard the water sloshing in the pool next door. It was obviously another bouncy day. I instead paid a few bills and mindlessly scrolled the internet (I am heartsick at Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance) and set up appointments for after we return home. It’s hard to believe we can now say that we’ll be home next week.
Sigh. I have enjoyed these cruises so much.
I decided to get cleaned up for the evening before I even went to lunch, and met up with G in the Botticelli Dining Room. Actually, I first saw him in the elevator lobby outside the Botticelli Dining Room. The elevator door opened to a lobby full of people waiting to get in and I heard G’s voice and people laughing and, good grief, there is nothing that man likes more than an appreciative audience. I rolled my eyes and didn’t interrupt his act. 🙄
It was Cobb Salad with chicken for lunch again today
For once in my life I had come prepared, and went right from lunch to Club Fusion with all my chord notes and music for today’s ukulele lesson. When it comes to the simple chords, we are getting quite good and thrilled ourselves by playing several songs today.
I went to the Touch of Polynesia Showtime in the Piazza, which featured Hawaiian Ambassadors Brian and Rowena and the guests who have been learning hula, accompanied by Hawaiian drums and music. It was packed, and I didn’t have the best view but I enjoyed the music from where I sat in Vines.
I was sorry to miss Fred Cink’s lecture at 4:30pm today, but it conflicted with dinner and we have no wiggle room with dinner because the Princess Theater shows start at 7pm instead of 7:30pm. That’s why we generally return to the Michelangelo Dining Room if we choose to have dessert and coffee because there is never time to linger after we finish our entree.
Tonight’s show was Magic To Do, which we saw yet again. It’s fun now that we’ve gotten to know some of the cast members. And after that we called it day, despite the fact that we are moving clocks back an hour tonight. I think I’m tired from simply navigating the ship on yet another bouncy day.
The weather forecast for tomorrow on Kauai is not good. In fact, schools and government offices and many businesses on Oahu were closed today due to rain, wind and flooding. Nawiliwili’s chicane entrance could easily prevent us from getting into the port tomorrow, but, even if we do, I don’t think our planned beach day is going to work out. That’s cruising life.
