Crossing The Equator

Hey everyone,

            Yesterday we crossed the equator. It has been hot and humid, with lots of clouds. We are all ready for some land after five days at sea. We have been mostly lounging by the pool. Life is tough. The ship is pretty quiet at night, so tend to have it for ourselves. The internet service has been really spotty, so if did not hear from us for a few days, it is not because we do not love you. We will arrive in Pago Pago, American Samoa tomorrow at 8am until Midnight, so it should be a good day to get our land legs back. After that we head to Apia, Samoa and the off to Fiji later this week. After Apia, we cross the international date line, so instead of being behind you, we will be a day ahead of you.

            Yesterday we crossed the equator. They took all the ships crew who have not crossed the equator before and paraded them in front of King Neptune (who was the piano bar guy, who somehow ended up looking 300 pound Elton John trying to look like King Neptune. It was great.

            Take care and we will give you an update after the two Samoas.
