It may not be 20 degrees but today it is probably as grey and overcast here as it is in Western Pennsylvania. When the rain subsided, we swaddled ourselves in layers of beach towels and watched Mama Mia on the giant outdoor movie screen on the top deck of the ship. Kelly and I relaxed from our post-luncheon snack, in preparation for our pre-dinner ice cream, in anticipation of our special dinner at the Chop House. By adhering to a rigorous cruise eating schedule we are confident we will be total blimps when we roll back into Annandale. We tried to go to Princess Cay this morning. Getting K’s wheelchair onto the tender was an experience. Just like on the show “Glee” everyone should have to try using a wheelchair to see just how challenging it is to get around even places that call themselves “accessible.” Yesterday the spa folks sold Kelly and me a pass to use the “thermal spa” facilities but after at least an hour trying to find a wheelchair accessible way to get there – we gave up. Apparently no elevators that give access to that part of the spa are working – and only a few crew members knew that. Anyway, back to this morning - we rock and rolled our way in the tiny tender to the island. By the time we arrived on land, it had started pouring rain so we made the crew’s day and turned right around to return to the ship. Luckily, our stateroom is on Level 5 which has the piazza which is a stage for entertainment, the wine bar, the international café, and the internet cafe just steps from our room – something for everyone in our little trio. Tomorrow we are at sea so it will probably be a big day for eating – again. Right now K and B are enjoying the casino. At 4:00 Kelly announced she wanted to go to the casino but Bob sternly told her if she had any class she wouldn’t step into the casino till after 8 p.m. So off they went to the casino after dinner. He is such a good influence.
