Sea Day 4 of 4
Good morning almost from Africa. We definitely allowed our selves to sleep in this morning. I think last night was one of the latest evenings I have had this cruise. And we still keep saying over and over how much fun we had last night. Some parts of our bodies are sore from dancing in heels all night and it was worth it! I am happy that my back isn’t too angry at me either. WIN!! We woke up around 8:00am, which was 9:00am this time yesterday. We went to the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast. Also, because tomorrow we are in Africa, we had to take our first Malaria pills this morning with our breakfast. Please pray we don’t have any adverse side effects. Then we headed to our Project Linus Group. We are gearing up for a big fundraiser for Project Linus on March 22nd and there is a lot of fun and energy being put into the planning and execution of the event. They are going to lay out all the completed blankets from the cruise to date and a passenger crocheted blankets during COVID specifically to be sold to raise money for yarn on the World Cruise. Such a great cause, great volunteers running it, and generous passengers giving of their time and talents to crochet and knit all the blankets to be donated. Around 11:00am I was able to log into the Anne Frank museum website and purchase tickets for Megan and I visit the Anne Frank home in Amsterdam in April. The tickets went on sale today and they sold very quickly. I am happy we are going to get an opportunity to see this historical home. I have been there before but Megan has not had the opportunity to visit it. After Linus time we headed home to finish up packing and to listen to the Captain’s noon report. Our entire Cruise is 34, 652 Nautical Miles from start to finish. One March 4th we reach our geographical mid point of 17,326 miles. Also, around the same day we reached our global midpoint. The globe is approximately 24,000 miles around and we were about 12,000 miles from California that day too. Lastly, tomorrow is our 64th day of this 128 day cruise marking that our journey is halfway over. Lots of little fun facts for you all. The mid way point is definitely a time for further reflection of where we are and where we have been. As much as I absolutely love to travel and will do it over and over, I love home too. I love my family very much and look forward to being back at home too. At 12:30 Megan had tutoring. I had an acupuncture appointment at 2:30pm. Then it was time to get ready for dinner at 5:00pm. It is Tuesday and we haven’t had the opportunity for a few weeks but tonight we are having our friend Ginny as our dinner guest this evening. She is my fellow Linus partner who sits in the window with me as we share our lovely “cat time” in the window when we crochet. We are now back in our cabin and have finished up our packing for tomorrow. Our meeting time is 8:15am. I fear I am going to be too excited to sleep tonight!! But we are going to try. Please keep our travels in your prayers for a safe journey, good health, wonderful memories and safe return to the ship on Friday. I can’t wait to share all that we saw and did and hopefully some amazing photos. Enjoy your week everyone. Blessings to you!! Debra
