Day 55: March 1, halfway point of the Cruise

-

 

Another day at sea before Komodo Island



Craft Class was Komodo Dragon Card but Toni spent the class helping others. She will finish her's in the room.

Rob went to hear a talk on the Aircraft Carriers in the Pacific War


Another goofy golf. You had three chances for a hole in one.  Toni came close as Mayte looked on but didn't get one.




Rob first shot went just left, his second shot went just right, but his third was just right.






Another passenger activity was for people to post a picture with the letter of the day.  Today it was actually both J and K. As we walked down the hall after golf, we went past the Bayou restaurant and there was J.


The two Assistant Cruise Directors asked us what we were doing and we asked them if there was anything that started with a K around. One pointed to her badge. Her name is Kymie!


And then the third thing was Cruise Duck Hunting. There is this thing on Cruise ships where people hid ducks and people try to find them. One of us really, really wanted to find one. The other was thinking there was no way we would be the first to find one that could be anywhere on the ship.

Just down the hall from the golf, the J and the K was the chapel.  And guess what Toni found in there!  It took half the cruise but she found her first duck!





So that was cause for celebration.  And then that meant we needed to go see Flor at Good Spirits at Sea. She is helping Rob get through all of the drinks that were on the Good Spirits TV show.  She made him an Aperitivo Roma 



And for the champion Duck finder, she made a Milky Way Martini


Dinner time.


Toni got the Vol-A-Vent and Ox Tail Soup, Rob the Vegetable Terrine for appetizers
Toni got the Grilled Bone-in Chicken Breast and Rob the Alaskan Salmon


Then a long walk (about 4 or 5 laps around the ship. And got to watch the sun go down.




Tomorrow, Komodo Island!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 31 American Samoa

American Samoa  Pago Pago Bay is one of the most dramatic harbors in the South Pacific, a region known for dramatic landscapes. Eons ago, the massive seaward wall of a volcano collapsed and the sea poured in. Today, dramatic mountain peaks encircle the deep harbor. The capital of American Samoa, Pago Pago is more village than city. The town is dominated by looming Mt. Pioa, whose summit draws moisture-bearing clouds, earning it the nickname of "The Rainmaker." Indeed, Pago Pago draws more than its fair share of rain - the island of Tutuila is a vision of deep, verdant green. Pronounced "Pango Pango," this island paradise awaits exploration. American Samoa is a US Territory and its citizens are US Nationals, not US Citizens. Home to the only US National Park in the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator). Far out view showing many islands in the area American Samoa and Samoa are two different sets of islands. American Samoa is on one side of the International Datelin

Note on ability to Comment

 Hi all, I just went through the blogger settings and changed it to anyone can comment.  It had defaulted to only those who had and were signed into their google account. I know have made it that anyone can comment.  Please add you name if you do comment so we know who is commenting.  We hope you are enjoying this as much as we are.   Also, if you have younger children, they might like https://braydenflatstan.blogspot.com/  Toni's cousin's grandson (the genealogy person in me will say 1st cousin, twice removed) gave us a flat Stanley (with a backup incase we dropped him into the ocean!!) on the day we left. We had no idea what it was but are having fun with it and do a blog with pictures of him and hopefully writing things a little more educational for the young ones!  I have both linked to each other.
