Wednesday the 13th….gone

Well, we went to bed and it was Tuesday, September 12th. We woke up and it’s Thursday the 14th. During the night we crossed the International Date Line and lost a day. But no worries, we will gain a day when we cross the line flying back to the US. Today is another day at sea. We’ve set the clock back an hour each night for 6 days, so my eternal clock is totally messed up. I was up at 4am. It’s now 9:30. We’ve had breakfast in bed. Not room service, although that’s available. (I go get it) because I never know when we will be ready for coffee, so I don’t order room service. We watched the port day talk given live yesterday about Auckland and now I’m in the library, which is my favorite place and Roscoe is walking the promenade deck. He’s getting his steps in so he can eat more!

Last night we had dinner with Jacqueline and Stan. They're the couple from Arizona. They’re taking a 16 kilometer walk in Auckland. I told them we’d join them….NOT! Really nice, educated, well read, thoughtful people. I think they’re a few years younger that we…..a rarity on the ship. I’ll have to take a picture of them.

The picture I’m posting is of the Princess Patter. We get this little paper everyday and it tells us what’s going on for the day.

Front side of the Patter. Yes, I have a marker….It continues on the back page.

I know this is not an exciting post, so off I go. I’m not sure what I’ll do when I get home and have to cook, make beds and do dishes!
