Hello friends....reporting back from our second night out on "the ship"! We're still taking each day very slowly...in fact I turned in my ticket for the canopy tour - don't think I'm strong enought to do that yet, but we dressed for a formal night and went out for awhile.

After reading the Influenza A thread I'm pretty sure we have something else - more bronchial - no fever, but terrible coughs and uck in the throat. Whatever - it ought to be banned.

Again, the entire staff has been so wonderful about checking on us and making sure we have anything we need. It may not be the best place to be sick, but if you're sick, they try to make it the best place to recover.

Tomorrow we will be in Punatareans Costa Rica. Since I'm not touring I'll find out what the limited local scene has to offer. BTW...we had a cruise director change in LA...Steve Lewis and Mimi are now our CD and ACD - we met them this evening before dinner in the Navigator Lounge. They are both very charming and we hope to get to know them better.

Well....until tomorrow - hope EVERYONE is feeling better.
