Hi you all,
I am finding being a solo (as they call it on the ship) interesting. Most of the solos are old, old. Everyone is very nice. Each evening, I have eaten with different people. It is kind of strange when I asked a couple to join them. I have never done anyting like that before. I don't have a problem with starting conversations with strangers, but I sometimes feel like I might be intruding. So far, it has been good. My next door neighbors are from Weston. I met them through the block party that is held. All the people exit their rooms and wine and cheese is passed around and the captain and crew run down the halls greeting all the passengers.
Two nights ago, had dinner with a solo, who is a retired doctor, the bridge instructor, who I met cruises ago and another bridge instructor.. Last night a couple from Canada, After the show I went to the lounge where I did disco dance. I hope my dancing burned a few calories.
Keep running into people, met on cruises in the past. Tonight we will cross the equator. I still have to try to put pictures on the computer. The internet in the middle of the seas, does not always work well; so I am afraid something will go boom and I will be sorry. My mouse stops every once in awhile. I don't know why. Last night it stopped, and no matter what I did, it would not reconnect. This morning it reconnected quickly.
Today, fun and games on the pool deck. Bridge lessons. (This is lesson number 4) I never thought I would get this far.....Maj Jongg at 2:00. Read awhile, get ready for dinner. Go have a cocktail and then bamboozle someone into dinner.
By the way, It is One Jewish year, since Sherman passed away. He is always with me in everything I do. I surely do miss him!
Bobbi, Bubbi, Me

I'm just a follower. I loved Herman's updates on his cruises, although I will never have the opportunity to follow. Roberta, I admire your spirit. Hope you can figure out how to send pictures.
ReplyDeletePS My Mother-in-law after she was widowed, despite being of moderate means found a companion to go on a cruise around Australia. I really admire newly independent women.
