I came on this cruise with six new books downloaded onto my Kindle®, a crochet project to finish, some plans to review the recent novel I wrote, and my computer. Oh and three bathing suits plus half a ream of sheet music in case I found a piano to practice on. I came with great intentions of doing all those things I love to do at home, but often don’t make time for.
It isn’t as if there’s nothing to do on a cruise ship; quite the opposite is true. But over the years that we’ve cruised, Earl and I have listened to presentations about shopping in St. Thomas, played Bingo, line danced, taken wine tasting seminars, played trivia, and attended art auctions. I figured we might take a pass on some of these things, and I wanted to be prepared.
This is our second day on the cruise and also our second at sea. It’s provided the perfect opportunity to start on the projects I brought along. But so far the only thing I’ve done is swim. And sleep. And eat. And sleep. And attend the Captain’s cocktail party last night.
And sleep. At this rate, I shouldn’t have to sleep for a month when we get home.
