If at first, . . .
Sea Mail from Mariner:
Well we got to Singapore just a little delayed and then boarded the ship for dinner with Marc and Arlene and Marc’s Mom and her husband. There were ten of us and a lot of lamb. After flying all day I was not that hungry and could not do the lamb justice. It was excellent. Finished up dinner with soufflés for dessert. I indulged in one of those it was wonderful. So nice to see Marc and Arlene and I enjoyed our little time together. Just too short I was wishing they were staying on board. Met McKeever briefly at the dinner table, they were sitting quite close to us.
Saw many familiar friendly faces it is like coming home. Last night Count Florida just sat with another couple and lo and behold it was jdreyfus who posts on LCT. It is such a small world. Of all the people they sit with another LCT poster. There are not that many LCT members on this trip but we will get together at some point and visit.
Had a wonderful piece of prime rib last night and have to admit right after dinner I crashed. Went to bed at 10.00 pm and then of course woke up early this morning. Tonight I am sure I will get into my normal “at sea†routine of staying up at night and sleeping in the morning.
This is the first morning and the sun is shining and the sea looks like glass. It is SO calm. What a wonderful way to start the trip. Internet was down this morning but backup now. So I am going to post this first installment. Formal night to night and we have the lobster tails and beef tenderloin tonight – light lunch in order today. Be back later.

And from count Florida: We are having having a thoroughly delightful time, at the moment sitting around outside Club.Com trying the great coffee from the new (at least to me) Coffee Corner, and trying to send the above brief report. Ralph M. and I have been trying to get updates on Wilma - "6 mil in Florida without power" is the headline in the Sarasota paper, so we are OK on the west coast north of Venice, where we live.
More later . . .
