We have a winner

Yesterday, Jon won the Yahtzee tournament on the boat. We are all very proud. I was ill and unable to participate. He beat Chris from Las Vegas in the finals. Chris is here with his significant other Rob, it’s their 3rd Disney cruise. Nice guys, spikey hair with blond highlights, Jon says similar to Patrick.

I’ve been sick the last 4 days due to a throat virus. Some of you may want to get checked out :) Before the trip, my only concern was that I might get motion sickness but that hasn’t been a problem. I am hopeful that tomorrow I will be feeling much better and can get out of my cabin and do more. I haven’t been able to do much since Sunday. Despite my illness the trip has still been a lot of fun.

Tomorrow will be our 4th day in a row at sea. We passed the mid way point in the Atlantic Ocean today. Sunday morning we will be on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The past two days the sea has been very rough and the boat has been constantly rocking. Currently, the waves are between 12 and 20 feet high. The 10th deck was closed today because winds on the deck were up to 55mph. Small children were being blown all over.

We’ve had to move our clocks ahead 1 hour every night for the past 4 nights. It’s like daylight savings for four nights in a row. That’s a little difficult to get used to. So right now it is 2am on Thursday but back home it’s only 10pm on Wednesday. We are now on GMT. I think we only move ahead one more hour for the rest of the trip.

There is more food than you could ever imagine on this cruise. This has been one of the greatest deals ever. We’ve watched two films and attended two shows. The rumor on the ship is that we will have an advanced screening of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 next week. Hopefully it’s better than the second movie. The real excitement is the upcoming Boyz II Men concert. Stay tuned for more details.

We’ve met people from all over the US. The other day I met a couple from Walled Lake and a lady from Portage. She retired from Western Michigan University. That’s enough for tonight. Later.
