Decompression

Hey everyone. Lee and I have been decompression. It was a stressful weekend and there are so many thank you’s to go out. Our house is supposed to close either tomorrow or early next week, so cross your fingers, it would be great to sail the Pacific without worrying about the house. We arrived at the boat pretty stressed, so Lee forced me to book a massage and booked one himself. We also did a morning yoga class and heat the thermal spa. It was wonderful.

 

The ship is beautiful. The food is better than we expected (it is normally good, but just a bit bland), but this chef is not afraid of flavor. The ships crew is very friendly and we are convinced we must have a “house elf” tidying up our room every time we leave for a couple of minutes. The seas have been calm; actually, I never imagined the ocean could be so calm. The slow rocking of the ship puts me to sleep every time I lay down for a minute (it turns into longer than that). Lee has fully immersed himself into shipboard activities (lecturers, shows, games, dancing the night away) and I have been more focused on the sea and a good book.

 

We will be in Long Beach tomorrow from 9 to 5, and we will have our cell phones handy (although we don’t want to spend the whole day on the phone), then we are off to the first of two long stretches at sea. We will have four and a half days at sea before Hawaii. Take care and we will post soon!
