Good morning, friends and family,
This is another glorious day at sea. The sun is shining down and it is hot already at 9 in the morning. We are out and about, getting more addresses of friends and talking with them as we roam the ship.
Attended another “sale” on the top deck and picked up some more magnets for Carol and key chains for a friend in Wal Mart back home. I was going to buy Carol a nice watch, bracelet, earrings and necklace set in pink stones, but the watch and bracelet were way to big for her tiny wrists, so we gave it to our tablemate, Melody, to purchase. It would have cost too much to get the extra links taken out at home, and who knows if they could?
So, we are cooling off in the cabin watching a little news for a change and waiting for 1 pm and my last book signing of the cruise up by the pool on deck ten for an hour or more. I only have 8 books left, so hopefully they will be gone in a hurry.
Well, I came “home” with only three remaining, so will donate two to the ship’s library and bring the one remaining one home to sell there.
Today Carol got her Christmas present. We saw a very pretty gold and rhinestone necklace in the jewelry shop and I decided it would make a great addition to her array of jewels. So, tonight Carol will look “splendific” when we eat dinner.
The show tonight is a repeat of “Motor City” which we saw on the way from Rome, but it is a good review with all the dancers and singers, so why not?
We’ve had some slight showers off and on today as we’ve steamed more than 400 miles from Devil’s Island and will arrive in Port-of-Spain Trinidad tomorrow morning. But, overall, it’s been a beautiful day.
A new friend, Hank, and his wife, Helga, want to rent a car and tour the island on our own, so we will share the cost instead of taking one of the high-priced tours on the ship. Remember my previous hint – go on your own and see the sights.
After dinner and the show; probably Brad and his piano again. He is an artist. We still have half a bottle of champagne to finish.
So, for today, we’ll say,
Via Con Dias – order those books now! I want lots of orders when we pick up the mail.
Karl & Carol
