Sea Day – 1

Today was a sea day and no ports of call so it was super relaxing. We started off with breakfast – who knew there was a one hour time change between Eastern Time and the Maritimes – which is apparently Atlantic Time. Thank goodness Tom knew.

Funny thing the people next to us have had the privacy sign on their door since we signed on and they got a notice from the ship that they appreciated their need for privacy but they would like to come in and clean their cabin.

I had a bit of tummy trouble this morning. The sea is rough and very windy. Tom and I tried to walk to the front of the ship and I honestly thought my glasses were going to blow off – that’s how hard the wind was blowing.

We went to a lecture in the AM about the Saint Lawrence River and it was pretty interesting. Then we went to bingo – we lost – and then we went to another lecture about the story of French Canada – I slept through most of it to be honest so if you want information ask Tom.

Then we went to tea – today was cheesecake tea – then we played team trivia. We have met some super nice people on this trip and we already knew one couple but they knew another couple and you can have 6 people on a team and we WON!! We got 2 Regent credits – what that does I have absolutely no idea.

Then at 6 PM we had a block party which Is where you go out in the corridor and meet your neighbors on the floor. I am shocked how many people on this ship are from Southern California. Covina, Sierra Madre, San Francisco, Laguna Beach, San Anselmo in Marin County – not Southern but Northern California. It’s amazing. In fact tonight we met a woman who had grown UP in Downey. Small world.

Then we went to dinner. They have a comedian tonight but Tom and I are too tired and we have to be up early for Prince Edward Island in the Maritimes. Did you know that Prince Edward Island is known as the “Birthplace of Confederation”? I know it is as the birthplace of Anne of Green Gables. So signing off until tomorrow – we have 140 nautical miles to PEI – which will be about 3:30 AM tomorrow.

On the bad side I think my left back upper molar has cracked and I’m hoping I don’t have any dental issues until I get back. BAH!
