                                                              Absolutely not. We’ve made peace with
                                                              our shower curtain and our cozy
                                                              stateroom. We’ve embraced the joy of
                                                              afternoon naps, especially when there’s
                                                              an event that begins after 9 p.m. Wine
                                                              time has been elevated by my one
                                                              vodka martini with olives, which kicks off
                                                              the evening with a smile. And we keep
                                                              the TV off - no news is the only good
                                                              news these days.
                                                              We’ve made wonderful new friends,
                                                              discovered breathtaking destinations,
                                                              and continue to love the soothing
                                                              sounds and rhythmic movement of the
                                                              sea, accompanied by spectacular
                                                              sunrises. What’s not to love?
                                                              As Mary and I look ahead to the second
                                                              half of our journey, we’re filled with
                                                              excitement for more new destinations
                                                              and shore adventures, including a safari
                                                              and visits to cultural and natural
                                                              wonders in Africa. We’re especially
                                                              looking forward to several relaxing sea
                                                              days. You'll find us by the pool as we
                                                              sail, in the capable hands of Captain
