Today Friday the 24th we woke up to a misty morning with a definite chill in the air. Coffee arrived right at 7a.m. And helped my struggling eyes still not used to moving back two full hours from our time zone only to realize we would move back one more tonight.

Breakfast at the buffet along with a brief talk with Nick Jans a world renowned author made for an amazing morning. His books are based on his true life experiences in Alaska to which he signed with dedication of his late friendship with an Alaskan wolf named Romeo.

To work off a big breakfast we then cruised (pun intended) about the ship. A few pics from the aft then on to a presentation about Alaskan Wildlife presented by Nick Jans.

Lunch at Botillos was excellent. I had the octopus and a lobster roll that was to die for. (Heather had the chicken). Was a relaxing day that passed way too fast! We ate dinner at my favorite restaurant of all times The Crown Grill!

Some surf and turf with perfectly cooked shrimp and a filet mignon. Heather skipped the bird and indulged also with the filet. Delicious! Lots of walking and meeting interesting people from all over the world. Poor Bob’s wife asked us if the seat next to Heather was available when she had turned around only to notice that her husband was missing. She joking said he was probably in the restroom. We were all in the theater when along came Bob to meet his wife. Everyone greeted Bob by name whom had been in earshot of his friendly wife. Bob without missing a beat remarked “What have you been telling these people?” She replied “Only your bathroom habits.” The hilarious banter between the couple, along with some additional comments from others made all of our sides hurt! Thanks Bob for going to the bathroom before the show!

It was a great day and we will continue tomorrow
