• Day 30: Another Busy Sea Day

    January 21, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    Breakfast at the World Cafe - Not my typical $6.95 Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast. Donna slept in.

    Before I forget there is a selfie of me with another gentleman. Meet Amos - Amos is from Feeding Hills and is running a CPAP supply business out of the trunk of his car. Many of you remember my L/lost CPAP drama even before we boarded, Amos saw me in the hallway just a bit ago and introduced himself. If you remember when I posted I had lost my CPAP - Amos posted he pulled out his old one and was ready to bring it to me when he boarded in Los Angeles, It was great to have “Amos’s 24 Hour Delivery Service” coming on board. Great to meet you we will have to plan a Chef’s Table dinner. My treat.

    Then get to Art Class early (by 9:30 to get my favorite seat). Today We started a Shadow Box project, I finished up my Toucan watercolor, Started my dancers (I am late on this one), Finished my folding cut out card. We have to turn stuff in so I was so rushed I didn’t get pictures. I think I will have a single post with all the finished pieces from this segment, in a couple of weeks.

    Then a very quick lunch with Donna at the World Cafe, and 12:40 - again arrive early to get a good seat. We worked on our felting project. I made my helmet too small that is going to turn into a ladybug. My gnome still has one more horn to finish on his new and improved helmet.

    I am at Trina Beckett’s writing class now, a bit early so I am able to get this post up real quick.

    Check out the big Apple Pie it was easily 24+ inches in diameter. Tom & I did our best to finish it off.

    Last night I had chili fries (room service) while watching the classic “South Pacific” on TV. It seemed only fitting since we are heading towards BoraBora now. My folks had a set of 78’s we use to listen to all the time. I still remember most of the songs.

    Tonight is dinner at Manifredi’s - and then we will go to the show at the Star Theater at 9:00.

    To everyone whose name I forget - I apologize in advance. I am sure glad we are not tested on remembering everyone’s name.

    Thank you to the people who continue to say thank you and that you enjoy reading this blog and tidbits of our journey.
