All at sea - with a purpose

Saturday today and we have all participated in 'Hit the Deck' - a 5km walk around the Promanade Deck to support Brest Cancer Awareness. We did it! and have the photos to prove it.

Last nights glam dinner was just that. Lobster, prawns, coq au vin (chook), surf & turf; followed by Baked Alaska, complete with sparklers. Glamorous, gorgeous and lifting our expectations of what will be served at home from now on.

Then it was Showtime. The cabin & waiting staff are all Indonesian and last night they put on a cultural experience that was not to be missed. These guys were wonderful and very talented. Patric sings to us while we queue for our lunch trays. Frank & Nat are his favourites.

Rosemary & Phyllis were up on the stage for a couple of numbers too!

Today we face the daunting task of packing. Yuk!! Tomorrow we have to have bags ready by 7am and will disembark at around 9am. All very well organised.

Will post again in Anchorage - unless something of note occurs before then!

Wow the cruise is at an end and you will be on dry land again. You must be heading for the North Pole shop. Hope you have left enough room in your bag for that visit. Keep up the fun.

Hi Jenny (and others)
Well it has been the most wonderful weekend of fine weather here - blue sky all weekend!
Finished the christmas quilt for the kids ward at the hospital and the fish quilt is ready for quilting (Í've been busy (and had to meet the challenge you and Allison set for me!!).
Spoke to Margaret I today - all is well. Looks like Mr Visa is having a hard time - great to see!!
Hope its not too hard leaving the ship ladies! Aren't the crew a talented bunch.
Anyway, keep up that spending in quilt shops. I can't wait to see what you bring back!!!
Oh, by the way, Storm brought me a present yesterday - a mouse (and you know how much I love them!!) After I had told her off (while on one leg) I got the traps set in the lounge. Got it in a trap overnight (thank goodness).
Anyway, hope you all get your land legs back quickly and you enjoy the next stage of your trip!!!
Love Andrea and Roger XOXO

Hi Mum (Colleen TG)
Sounds as if you are having a brilliant time. The weekend was amazing weather and we went for a walk in the Waitaks and did a bit of gardening. We will head down to the beach this weekend and catch up with Dad before he leaves. Need to do the hard sell as have got a wee something for Daisy from Liv and Caleb to take over. Wish me luck!! All is well with us, Caleb started jumping beans today and Liv started Ballet last week, she loves it as you can imagine. Take care and will talk to you soon. Love Cilla xxx
