Day 61 and 62 Life At Sea

The days are still busy doing nothing! We have got into a habit of getting up late, something we will have to change as we approach USA. We had a lunch booked today. so had breakfast and lunch within an hour! Are we gaining weight? What do you think!! I managed to read for a couple of hours, on a lounger in the sun. George and Roy played dominoes, I think they both missed Barry. Tonight is formal night, and free cocktails. The chef mixed up the menu so tonight was just normal food and tomorrow in the formal menu. The cocktails didn't have any alcohol and tasted more like cordial, oh well they were free so not complaining. The Captain did his usual 5 second talk and made some lame excuse for missing Dublin, its still a sore point amongst the passengers.

We have noticed a few changes since Southampton (heading towards America and with many Americans onboard), however they are very minor. We apparently have a HAPPY HOUR tonight, however nobody knows time or any other details!! Very confusing, we will arrive at the bar and will be told it is all finished!! Its something that has been missing on the cruise so it will be interesting to see what transpires. We had a CC meeting today and a couple we had not met turned up. It seems to have dried up now or maybe we have all met enough friends to keep us going till the end. Who knows!! We will keep having our meeting after each new embarkation. There was a sea plane competition by the pool today...great laugh! Oh I nearly forgot to mention...great excitement today as the Canadian Air force flew a submariner aircraft over the ship 200 feet above sea level along close to the ship. It was part of their coast guard operations. It was a scene out of "Fantasy Island" as all I heard was "the plane, the plane". We have booked a pizza for dinner tonight, and off to bed early as we have an immigration check with USA authority at 7 a.m. Then off to Boston and onto land, yippee.
