Well....we're having a GREAT time! From the Westin, to boarding (a breeze)and lunch on the pool deck yesterday to Todd's Cosmo party last night, to a fabulous dinner, to winning over $400 at 3 card poker last night...it just doesn't get any better! This is such a great bunch of friends!
Apparently there is some problem with something mechanical so our port stop in Cabo was cancelled. We each received $150 shipboard credit as a consolation. Not bad....So instead of 3 sea days, we now have 4. We're fine with this because we're just hear to all play together anyway. I've been to Mexico dozens of times besides. So, apparently we're limping along (although it sure isn't noticeably slower??). I promptly used the credit and AmEx $300 credit to book several upcoming massages at the spa. HEAVEN! We're in cabin #921 (category C). We jumped on that 2 category upgrade that Radisson offered for 1 day (apparently in error!) It is the nicest cabin I've ever been in...so spacious and an oversized balcony. We're next door to Gretchen & George who are next door to Marty & Erika, who are next door to Joanna & Tony, who are next door to Jim & Jan...well you get the picture. Like I said, it just doesn't get any better! We had room service this morning....ham & cheese omlettes, fruit, danish....HEAVEN!
Last night we ate with Joanna & Tony, Bill & Nancy and their good friends Julie & Ed. We were the last table to leave (and I'm sure the noisiest)...what a surprise! Lingered over espresso and Sambuca and laughed until our sides ached. This seems to always be the case at every dinner on every ship. Hmmmm....could be more than just coincidental! After dinner we hit the casino where I had great luck with 3 card poker. I won $400...not bad for an hour's fun!
Ray pulled off the jewelry surprise for Penny perfectly! It really is a gorgeous pendent and she wore it to Todd's party last night. It arrived at our home Fed Ex on Wednesday and from that moment, I never took my eyes off it! Security at Ft. Knox could not have been better.
Daughter Jill and sister Merrily came on board with us yesterday as guests as did Cyndi and her cute Mom, Dorothy. I'm so happy this worked out so well and they were all able to meet everyone. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had lots of fun eating and mingling, and yes,....did I mention more cosmos on the pool deck! Tonight is formal night and we're eating with Olivia, Todd, Lawrence, Joanna & Tony. I'm so excited to see Todd in his new tux and Olivia in her son's wedding dress! Of course there is a pre-cocktail party first....gee,what a surprise! After dinner we're expecting some great pole dancing from Suzanne. I'm sure she won't disappoint! This afternoon we'll have sun time on deck and trivia. Tomorrow morning we have Ngaire and Ken's Africa update with photos etc. Everyone is so psyched about ROAR!!!
Well, that's about all my news here. Sorry if this sounds the same as the letters I use to write home from camp when I was 10. I'll let Masaki,MarnaLou and others do the professional writing!
Just wanted to say hi from all of us here on the MINT!!
