At sea

We are having our long stretch of time at sea. It is 7 days that we have all been looking forward to since we booked this cruise. Once we left LA and celebrated Jeff's 60th birthday (you'll hear about that from him), we have settled into a nice, but busy routine. We are all committed to 2-3 hours of fitness each morning in hopes of still being able to wear our clothes throughout the trip.
There are many interesting lectures each day. There is a travel/historian that speaks about each of our upcoming ports and we have recently been joined by a wine expert who lectures while we are drinking particular wines! There is an artist on board giving classes and next week several of us will be joining one of the chefs going to the market in Tahiti.
We are all doing a lot of reading and Jeff will be fluent in Swahili by the time we get home.
The Pacific Ocean is very peaceful and we are loving the tranqility. The 4 of us witnessed the elusive green flash at sunset yesterday in honor of Jeff's birthday.Read more
