At Sea

Thursday, 05 Jan 2012 – We slept in this morning and went to breakfast around 10:30, where we shared a table with a couple, Lynn and Larry, from Long Island, New York.  They have been on lots of cruises.  Jesse and Larry shared stories about “tours” to Vietnam.  They actually cruised to Vietnam three years ago and enjoyed their visit.  They also shared information on other cruises that they have taken to the Far East, which really peaked our interest.  A little later, we returned to the Horizon Court for a light lunch, then dance class at 4:30, where we reviewed the Merengue, Samba, and Cha Cha.

Tonight was our last formal night dinner, where we enjoyed lobster (again!), and then we danced to the Buenos Aires Quartet.

After cloudy and foggy days, today was sunny and warmer.  Sunset was also much earlier, so that we can tell we are going north, away from the South Pole.  We now only have one more day aboard ship before we disembark in Valparaiso and, among our other activities, it will be a packing day.
