April 9, 2019 – at Sea
Tomorrow we arrive in Jordan and the remainder of our stops will be in Europe. We have many days at sea to get to Naples and then over a week to get home from Ireland. This part of the trip will go fast and be very busy as the ports are not that far apart.
It was 77 degrees on the deck yesterday but it felt much cooler. Terri had jeans on and I put mine on later in the day. I haven’t had jeans on since we left Detroit back in January.
We have lived in this room together for two months and two weeks and have figured out how not to drive each other crazy. It can be done!
Having a room that opens out onto the deck probably kept us closer to our room but allowed us to spend a lot more time outside more than most passengers. I am sure a majority of the passengers only get fresh air when we dock at a port and they have a tour. I overheard some passengers say that they never see anyone sitting out on their balconies on the floors above us.
We are beginning to forget what we did at some of the ports. We have had to look back at the blog to refresh our memories. I can see why so many people on this cruise do it again and again. It always feels new when you have no memory.
I am looking forward to faster internet. It is difficult to even download the paper each morning. The ship does print the NY Times digest each day and we each have a copy each morning at breakfast. Our heads continually shake back and forth as opinion substitutes for news in every article. I don’t need to hear how global warming is the cause for parents paying bribes to college officials although climate change must be the reason MSU lost to Texas Tech. What else can it be?…
