Yesterday was the big “Black and Gold Ball” celebration. Since we have resigned from the dining room we decided to meet our Israel travel pals in our cabin for cocktails followed by dinner in the Pinnacle Grill. The evening was filled with good laughs, good food and good friends. The entertainment that followed was a group from New York that sang a tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It wasn’t the Jersey Boys, but we did enjoy it.
Most of the day was once again spent relaxing. Barney was deep in a book and I attended two more of Chris’ classes on movie making. Now I just need to figure out how to attach the action of the sleigh ride down to the blog. Don’t worry, we won’t inundate you. In fact, any additions to the blog now will probably be other pictures that you might enjoy. It has been fun “stitching” pictures together and playing around with the pictures. You should be able to hover over them on the blog and they should enlarge automatically.
Holland America gave us two more large wheeled duffel bags to help us “off-load” all the things that everyone has purchased. We don’t need them so we will no doubt offer them to crew as they always have to ship items home.
It has been a fairly smooth ride so far. There have been larger swells than expected but we can deal with them. The sun is shining and we are enjoying the verandah. Good weather is expected for the rest of the journey, but the captain likes to joke that weather forecasts are just as often wrong as they are right.
We hope that you have enjoyed following our journey. We have loved your emails and comments. Check back a bit later to see if there are more photos. We look forward to being able to be in better personal contact with you once we return to Omaha. As they say in Hawaii – Mahalo and Aloha. Patty and Barney
