Almost hate to give the plot away, but part of the reason I got so queasy is that I did a lot of imbibing than I had done in the last 3 1/2 years (I've been either pregnant, having a baby or nursing two girls since April 2001). I had the welcome glass of champagne. Then I had a cosmo in our suite (before the mustering). Then I had another glass of champagne at the sail away. Then I had another cosmo at pre-dinner cocktails we hosted in our suite...by the time we went down to compass rose and I started reading the menu, I just felt green, in great part due to the hightened sensitivity to the ship brought on by all the drinking! I don't really drink (a glass of wine at dinner, maybe a cocktail before) but the excitement of being on this cruise and having Peter all alone to myself just clouded my judgement! So, I've learned my lesson!
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
