Days 9 & 10 - At sea

Wow, I can't believe this cruise is coming to an end....

Yesterday was a beautiful day, sunshine and warmth...we slept until noon....then got up and showered and headed to the dining room for lunch. After lunch we made our way up to the Solarium deck and snagged a couple of lounger chairs...and there we sat and soaked up ever last ray of sunshine and drop of warmth...it was about 25C with a brisk wind...so we even skipped dinner so we could enjoy what was likely the last of the warm weather.

Today, we awoke to an announcement from our dear Captain Henrik (he's a handsome swede and only 36 yrs old!!!!) announcing that they had closed the pools as a precautionary measure . It seems that his plans to pass between two weather patterns didn't exactly work and instead we were treated to gale force winds! The solarium was however still open...so we got up and headed up there and unlike the past week the deck was pretty empty so we had no problem snagging chairs....but there may have been a reason it was pretty empty....the winds were ferocious so after an hour I gave up and we headed to the Windjammer for a late lunch...and given it was such a strenuous day...I suggested heading back to our room for a nap...I woke Peter up in time for dinner...formal night...lobster and prime rib....yum!

Sadly, tomorrow will be our last day...then back to Port Liberty by 8 AM Friday...then we'll drive home and pick up Sam! ....I do hope he's been a good boy....I have to say I really don't want to go home...to winter....to work...sigh...I think I'll just sit here and enjoy my Bailey's on the rocks....

Good night from somewhere in the north Atlantic....
