We slept in this morning until 8 AM. It’s a beautiful day on the sea and we had breakfast outside on the terrace on the back of the ship (Sandra you know where I mean). No wind and lots of sunshine. After breakfast we came back to the cabin so we could get the computers and go post the blog and photos from yesterday and we saw two dolphins swimming past our balcony.
We don’t have a lot planned until this afternoon when we will go to Milos lecture on sharks and mammals at 3 so we may go to the pool today—what a novel idea on a sunny sea day to go to the pool. We have met some really nice people on this trip and it’s hard to believe that it’s almost over—again. Debbie and I watched “The Bucket List” which was the cabin movie the other night. I know you are proud of me Dave but I was sobbing like a baby at the end and decided I need a bucket list too. Debbie and I both said that jumping out of a plane or bungie jumping was definitely not going to be on ours! Ok, I will report more later.
Lindsay, Paige & Christopher I have seen a whole bunch of sea turtles today and Debbie and I tried to get some picture of them for you—I hope we did so I can show you. The sea was so calm today that it looked like a sheet of glass so we could see the fish in the water. I miss you guys.
We went to the casino and played slots for awhile then ate lunch and went to Milos’ talk. He was funny as usual. He was describing the 3 types of Skeats ..ice, roller and cheap. He also was describing how electronically wired sharks are and his analogy was funny. He said the new refrigerators are made to recognize bar codes so it knows what you have used and when to order more. He said now they are making appliances talk to one another and that in the future the following will happen. You come home from a cruise and drop your bags at the door. You flip on the TV schedule and realize a marathon of say 24 and Jack Baer is on but you want a bowl of ice cream to eat while watching. You go to the refrigerator and the doors won’t open. You go to voice override of the system and it says “sorry Dave but I’ve been talking to the scale and he said you had just come home from a cruise and had put on a few pounds. Try the stairmaster for a few days and come back on Friday and we’ll see if I can let you in”. Very funny. After the talk we went to get tea and ran into Susan and Leslie who told us they were doing aerobic eating—they walked around the buffet before eating anything—good choice girls!
We met Dave and Diane at Michael’s and had fun. Dave is a hoot and they told us a really funny story about an associate of Dave's and a Speedo men's bathing suit. It was very funny. We had fun with Leslie and Susan at dinner then they went to the show and we went to the casino. Debbie won big tonight on 3 card with a straight flush and a couple straights. I did ok but wound up losing in the end. I had to take some clothes that I had dry cleaned on the ship down to the purser to try to get some credit since they ruined them. We will see what happens tomorrow I guess.

Hi Ya Sounds like Debbis has been the luckiest in the Casino on this cruise at least. I did not see the movie Bucket List I'll get it on Netflix. I usually don't watch network tv(mainly watch Fox news and Netflix movies too). I will say though I am loving this new show modern Family. Really funny starring Ed Oneill(Al Bundy) from Married with Children, Julie Bowen(Girlfriend of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore) and Sofia Vergara who is incredible(Columbian actress built like the proverbial brick outhouse). Check it out when you get home. Good luck with the turtle watching.
