Feb. 1: Today was Pago Pago where Ginnie and I were going skip shore excursions and do laundry. Well, the day dawned gray and rainy as we pulled into the Pago Pago harbor and the captain had a hard time even docking the ship. It required a tug pushing against us to keep us at the dock. All trips were canceled and the captain announced that we would be leaving shortly after noon instead of at 6pm. The “fools” that got off the ship were soaked to the skin in a very short time. And then they made our trip to the laundry even worse because they were all wanting to come in and dry their wet clothes! The laundry situation is the pits - people were saying there had even been fisticuffs a couple of days ago. We decided that “they” want to make doing laundry a miserable experience so that we will use their laundry services at exorbitant prices! Anyhow, after laundry we went to lunch and then to bridge where we discovered that we had come in 4th yesterday and earned another .18 master point so we now have a whole point!! Bridge was fun today - we are getting better. Then we went to the Chart Room for our afternoon beers - had a couple of extras and decided eating in our room was a good idea tonight. We have ordered and are happy puppies! The seas are really pretty rough tonight. Supposedly there is a cyclone somewhere in the South Pacific - you guys should check the weather for us and let us know what we are in for. At the moment we are headed from Pago Pago to Fiji! All for now. Dinner is here and CSI is on the “telly”!
Feb. 3: After dinner in our room last night we went to sleep early only to wake up and discover that we had crossed the International Date Line and it was now Friday the 3rd. No February 2nd for us this year. Don’t quit grasp the concept of where the day went BUT we’re taking it on faith. We guess that we get back on your day somewhere!
