I surely don’t know what to do, I truly don’t. So many things to do and so little time to do them in. HAL really needs to add a couple of hours to every day for us to fit everything in. And then, to top everything off, don’cha know today was an even better day than yesterday? That’s right, today the sea was running 1-3 feet, with the clearest blue sky and not a cloud in sight anywhere. I just don’t know how we can stand it. And tomorrow is predicted to be even better, UGH!

The morning started off as usual with room service, followed by my mile walk. Sharon woke up with a headache so she skipped aerobics today. This morning sport of call was crazy golf, where we had to hit a golf ball down a flight of stairs and hope it stopped within taped off areas worth 1, 2, or 3 points. We all had two tries, and I somehow lucked out and got one in the 1 and the 2 area for 3 extra dam dollars. YEA!

There are other things going on as well throughout the day. There are yoga classes, bridge classes, various speakers, the culinary arts center has something different every day, team trivia, dance classes, lectures by the spa staff, arts and crafts, and so on. Today was also a special day as we marked the half way point across the Atlantic. In celebration they held a Swim the Atlantic event, where everyone jumped into the pool at 2:30 when we reached the mid point. That was quite funny and everyone who participated got five dam dollars!

The next three days we turn our clocks forward one hour each day, so we will be totally confused by the time we get to Santa Crus in the Canary Islands. The only good thing is we do it at noon which really makes it easy on adjusting to it.

The movies being shown are first run, we have seen Dark Knight and W, The Changling and others.

The crew of the Prinsendam is outstanding. They always have a smile and if you pass one they always greet you and ask how you are doing. Surprisingly the ship is not full, there is less than 700 passengers onboard, although there may be some boarding in Barcelona. With almost 500 crew onboard the service is beyond reproach.

That’s about it for now, so until tomorrow, Cheers!
