Day 18 @ sea enroute to Easter Island

Yesterday was a turn around day.  It ended the first segment so people got off and some new people got on.  Stan took whomever from our class who wanted to go and download some Apps we need for class.  We were there for a long time.  We did however get to Facetime with the kids.  Ran out of time I wanted to Facetime with Marrianne but I had to get back to the ship.

We are at sea today and will be for 4 days.  Bill is still not back to normal and I am still coughing also so it will be good to rest (HA HA).

Bill slept in this morning so I went up to breakfast at the Lido by myself and sat with Peggy, Elaine, Linda, and Janice.  Then Stan and Mary joined us.  We had great conversations going.  Stan who is the Del Mar College Professor and is teaching the course Bill and I are taking called Everything Apple was on an overland for 4 days on a train through the Andes.  He was the ship’s chaperone.  Mary was on  different trip to Machu Picchu as a chaperone. It was great hearing all about their adventures!   Everyone left except for Janice and I who stayed and chatted for quite awhile.  When I got back to the cabin I couldn’t find Bill so I just walked around the shops and Cove .  Finally found Bill he had gone to the lecture by Senator Bob Graham.  We went up for a light lunch and sat with Nelda and Sheldon and heard all about the train trip through the Andes as they did that excursion.  It was 12000 elevation so it wasn’t even an option for me with my Asthma nor was Machu Picchu.  I had a 3:30 manicure appointment so up I went.  After my manicure Bill and I walked 1 mile around the promenade deck.  It was quite windy at the bow and stern rounding those corners.  By the time we finished our walk it was time to shower and get changed.  Bill headed down to watch the Super Bowl.  I met him a little later.  The SuperBowl party is in the Galaxy Lounge They have a huge movie screen and two other screens set up.  It is all decorated with football stuff!  We decided to eat in there instead of going into the DR tonight they had all kinds of football food.  Popcorn, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken wings, jalepeno poppers, sandwiches, salad, potato salad and more. Sometimes you just need junk food and not all this gourmet stuff!   It is now ½ time and I am back in the room writing this.

Outside the Galaxy Theater where they showed the Super Bowl

At 9pm there is entertainment in the Stardust club  It is Crystal’s Kit Kat Club so if the game is over we will both head there if not I will head there and Bill will meet me when the game is finished.

Tomorrow 8:30am I will work out with LeeAnne my personal trainer.  Then on Tuesday Nelda and I have decided to be walking buddies so we will meet and walk 1 mile around the wrap around deck.  3 and ½ laps equal 1 mile!

There were so many activities today and I chose not to partake of any of them.  It felt good to just relax.  I have brought 2 bathing suits with me and have not been out by the pool yet.

If Bill is still not feeling better tomorrow he has to return to the doctor as he takes his last antibiotic in the am.  Mine I have another week of them. We start our new semester for our course and have 14 hours this segment!

Tomorrow is a formal night.  Trying to decide what to wear!

So from somewhere in the Pacific Ocean enroute to Easter Island, Chile, we are sending love and hugs to all.
