The rest of the day

Once we returned to the ship it was nap time for me. While Gail and her mother went to the beach I took a nice two hour sleep. When I woke up finding that Mike and Tyler had still not returned from scuba-diving I called Gail's room. They were still at the beach. I then took a walk around the ship looking for something to do.

We ate dinner as group again, only this time we dined in the other dining room. I went a little crazy ordering both a soup and an appetizer. I also got two desserts. After dinner we spent some time in the bar before I walked off to one of the conference rooms where the World Cup Final was televised on a big screen set. I went to bed early as the boring game was putting me asleep anyway.

What had been such a quiet area during my daytime snooze was now sounding like a convention was going on ... read more
