Jan 11-13: Days 1-3 at Sea

Crossing the Pacific Ocean these past few days has been rough at times. Our Captain decided to alter the ships course a bit, dipping south to make things more comfortable. Julie and I have held our own, so far.

We've been very busy on these sea days. Our calendar is filling up with lunch and dinner dates with new friends, lectures, art classes & exercising. We arrive in Honolulu on Tuesday morning.

Travis Cloer was the Guest Entertainer on Friday Evening. He played the role of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys on Broadway. This is one of my favorite musicals and this guy was great!

Blind wine picks:
Zuccardi Serie Q, Mendoza, Valley de Uco
Garofoli Podium Verdichio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico (I sent it back...icky)
