• Woke up EARLY

    October 1, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

    I woke up this morning, first at 330am and then I snoozed until 415am. My goal is to make it to be one of the first to get a ticket to get off the boat this morning because we have a 9am excursion and tenders start leaving the boat at 830am. Luckily, I made it down at 424am and no one is here! Woohoo. I should be first for the ticket! Smom told me that on their Singapore trip they had people lining up an hour before tickets sold so I'm here in time in case people were going to line up early here.

    Time to read to pass the time.

    About 30 minutes until the tickets are given out and though we do not have an actual line, we tried to make one with the chairs. Unfortunately, I can hear this one lady being slimy and saying there isn't a line and everyone is here for the same thing. I think the 5 of us that have been here an hour longer than her would beg to differ.

    This one guy got up and tried to take charge but the people who came in late weren't having it. Finally the four of us who came in earliest got up and formed a line and everyone else followed. This older guy if European descent got in front of me and the two people behind me told him he couldn't be there. He tried to show us a video and tell is he knows he wasn't first but that he would let others go in front of him until it was his turn. That didn't fly with the second and third people in line. They made him move. Then the crew put the tickets by the elevators so we had to walk over there and then they walked us all the way around again to get us where they wanted us. It wasn't a big deal but some people definitely made it out to be one. Quite an adventure for having so little sleep.

    Sea depth where we are anchored shows as 1750 meters, traveling 4948 nautical miles. Currently at zero speed and zero heading as we are anchored.
