Fifty-Eighth Sea Day

I had a rough night last night. I ended up knocking my phone off the nightstand during the night. As a result, I didn't hear my alarm and didn't wake up until 8:11 AM. Bob got ready quickly and headed out the door to attend the Bible study.

I worked on finalizing the spreadsheets showing our purchases for import duties.

I am feeling stressed about everything that needs to get done before the end of the cruise. I am hoping to get many items off my list today and tomorrow.

The cruise director made an announcement that whales are being spotted. As a result, the Bible Study was cut short so people could see the whales.

Bob came back to the stateroom. He was able to spot the whales quite a distance from the ship. Our excursion in the Canary Islands in a couple of days is a whale watching boat ride. We are pleased that there are whales in the area.

I did some work on our overnight excursion to Marrakesh.

I ran down to Guest Services to turn in our tickets for our excursion in London. It was touring the Tower of London. We decided to skip it as we think that we will have a lot to do on our last day aboard. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to visit London several times over the years so we are comfortable not having an excursion. We will probably explore on our own as time permits.

I also needed to give our itinerary to Guest Services for our independent tour to Marrakech.

I then met Dale, Jenni and Bob in the World Cafe for lunch.

I spent the afternoon printing off spreadsheets for purchases that we made during this World Cruise and organizing the receipts.

I worked on editing photos and began the process of packing.

We celebrated Passover by attending the Seder dinner. It was a very long but interesting celebration lead by Jewish fellow passengers.

One of the downsides is that we were forced to change tables because there was one extra person who had made reservations. I tried to explain to the waiter that I am allergic to perfume and that I could not sit with someone who wears perfume. He was very insistent so instead of making a scene, we moved. And guess what, the person who joined our table had a lot of perfume on. She was the guest opera singer and was lovely company but I am certain that I will have ill effects from this exposure.Read more
