The three day curse...

The three day curse... I have been on several cruises and it never fails that it takes me three days before my head and legs catch up with the movement of the sea.  This trip has been no different. Our first sea day, the seas were rough and I was not feeling so great.  Yesterday, our second full sea day was much better as I’m finally getting used to the movement of the ship.  Ty had better luck and has been fine.

Yesterday was the first time I got up and about from the cabin.  I went to a lecture on the formation of the Oceania Islands and how they were created from volcanos and the shifting tectonic plates.  It was very interesting.  

Last night was our first formal night, the Captain’s Reception, which was nice.  We received out first “pillow gifts”, gifts which are left on our pillows during formal nights.  Tonight’s gift was a shoulder bag which contained a small bag of travel essentials, band aids, liquid germ killer, Chap Stick, pepto, and aspirin.  The bag also included luggage tags, a Grand Voyage pin, maps and a leather bound journal. And our newest pet Hermit Crab.

 

 

Today is another sea day, the weather has been a consistent 73 degrees  and overcast.  Two more days until Hawaii.

The smell of them everywhere is wonderful.  Two more sea days until Hawaii.  Can't wait!
