The jazz band in Stars is putting a crimp in the normal dancing we do after dinner. It is very popular with the passengers and think it is a nice venue for jazz lovers.

The Horizon is available for dancing also of course, just not made it down there yet. The trio in observation lounge is so great, we may just stay there and throw in a dance on the carpet from time to time.

Tom DID enter the Dancing with the Stars as did Valerie and Arlene. All were great no doubt they will make it to the next round. Great idea I think it is going to a lot of fun.

Trivia my team always seem to be ONE off. Got to hit the token jackpot at some point. I play with different people each day and do enjoy the social aspect.

Pooching has taken place for two days now and our new pooch addicts are really catching onto the game. Soon they will be fully addicted, it does not take long.

Weather is great, nice seas and sunshine. Food so far has been excellent, last nights beef wellington and shrimp bisque with Saffron was outstanding. I have had lamb everyday -- life is GOOD.

Nice group of people and I have met quite a few for the first time and have enjoyed them tremendously.

Starting with some days at sea is a great way to go. YOu get settled in and comfortable. Then some ports and ending with days at sea I think is the perfect combination. I REALLY wish I was not getting off in Tahiti but plans have been made and cannot be changed now.

Looking forward to the free cruise drawing that will take place in Tahiti. Always anxious to see who is going to win the cruise. CAptain Romero drew it last year and he will be doing it again this year.

Be back later it is TRIVIA time - will today be THE day??? Marc, Suzanne, all you trivia buffs swim down to the Pacific and join me. We need you.
