Little thoughts...

Cruising for two weeks now, you cannot help but notice:

...Preparing green salad for two thousand is less than effective...

...Two thousand pounds of chicken per week...tends not to work so well, either...probably why they have 8 thousand of beef and two thousand of pork. You have to be strong to like the chicken..

...you can choose to share your dinner table, a nice idea. We happened to be seated with a woman who overwhelmed us and her sister and brother in law...She was quite nice, but you could only sit and watch her talk...she had lived in Denver 28 years and we knew people in common...

You can also feel isolated on a ship like this...doesn't lend itself to personal conversations and exchange of emails...

Half an hour at the pool is an education in variety of styles and sizes of swim suits and the courageous choices women and men make (speedos...really?)

"old" moments are ever lurking out there (remember the suitcase Helpers?): I thought I had done pretty well at a spin class...and the young, buff teacher told me I had been great, because I " didn't give up".

You can go into tour overload..

European women don't wear hats...not sun, not baseball/golf...NO HATS
I am tired of my hat ...

Do not let anyone take a picture of you on tour from the back...better you don't know how unkempt you look...
