... a map and hopefully that will do the trick. <br><br> Today the weather has changed considerably&#8212;sea is rough and no sunshine. We&#8217;ll eat in the main dining room&#8212;midship and lower deck where you don&#8217;t feel the swells. No walking the deck today&#8212;we&#8217;d blow off. Even the gym is off, too difficult to stay on the treadmills. Since this is a cruise of ...

... lost track of what day or date it is. This is the most relaxing thing we&#8217;ve ever done. I&#8217;ll use this blog to describe some of our shipboard life. We have the cutest cabin attendant, Gene, who sings up and down the corridor as he works. Every night another cute towel animal appears while we&#8217;re at dinner. We usually get up, walk a mile on the track top deck, then head for breakfast ...

... reading this blog the opportunity to take my work from me for free. It is so easy to screen capture or download almost any image from the WEB, so a slide show allows me to share my work in a way that is interesting yet produces small quality screen captures. Forgive me for this, I hope that you will choose to still enjoy the slide show photo presentation format.<br>

... built on stilts over the water, and very photogenic. She actually called some of them &#8220;condos&#8221;. We stopped at Matira Bay, which was named after an English gentlewoman named Matilda, but because of the limitations of the Tahitian alphabet came out Matira. We feel like we are living the play &#8220;South Pacific&#8221; and to top it off, we stopped at Bloody Mary's. Decided to pass ...

We over-nighted in Bora Bora, many crew members went ashore to enjoy a night on the beach or a stay in one of the grass hut hotel accommodations.<br><br>I went to bed and slept in until about 11:15AM. I needed the rest. <br><br>I had IPM again today and so after eating lunch I headed to the crew training room to take care of some lessons I needed to complete and then headed ...

... beer as we could and jump in the pool, which we may have considered a party before we were sensible married people. No, this began with flower lei and crown making for me and leaf bandana and ankle wrap making for Neil - please view the photos and feel free to keep for future embarrasment opportunities. We were also taught how to tie a 'pareo' - better known as a sarong to us Northern hemisphere'ers. We were both surprised at our creative flair ...

Big excitment today with out second slot tournament. Emily placed and was in the final round coming in 4th out of 8. We're making progress and actually slept in until 9 today woo-hoo. A little more of the same today as our sea days are nearing the end. Did have an evening of karaoke in one of the lounges and a late night show "similar to the old gong show" showcasing fellow passengers ...

... We faced the airport and its runway but beyond that loomed the deep blue Pacific and the dramatic peaks of Moorea. Wow!  The 45-minute flight to BOB was quite special. You could sense the excitement of the passengers as the plane descended through the clouds. As we broke free of the last cloud, a magnificent vista awaited us: a massive multi-coloured lagoon bordered by lush green atolls, the fringes of which broke the waves from the open ocean, and a ...
