Day Three at Sea

We enjoyed dinner with Captain Aivo Palm and another couple from Southern California January 27 and I wrote this blog…it drafted and didn’t send. It was delightful. Tammy the social host from Kansas also joined our table. Needless to say she is a Chiefs fan as is her husband the Cruise Director. Michael should enjoy the game rooting for the 49ers! For some reason Larkin doesn’t see a reason for football so I will join her in Hilo to see volcanoes and waterfalls!

Captain Aivo also taught us the three ways to feel seasick. Number one is sleep. Larkin has enjoyed 12 plus hours the first two days. Now she understands why. Number two is eating. keep eating and keep eating as it helps for some reason. I just thought I had three meals a day because its there. and three…well feed the fish!!!! None of us has fed the fish!

We asked Tammy what does she do to stay a size zero. She said “I don’t exercise on the ship but I always take the stairs and floors 4-12 keep me in shape on the ship!” There is hope for us yet if we keep taking the stairs and walking a couple of miles a day. The other lady at our table brings three sizes of clothes – she has two desserts a day! I’m glad I’m not a dessert hound! My goal is not to grow out of my clothes!

I am sending this again and hope it is not somewhere else on my blog. Quite a learning curve and Larkin is NOT computer savvy! For those of you who are new…I think you’ll be able to go to previous posts at the bottom of this post. Otherwise on the home page you can now click on blog!
