Apologies Necessary

Here we are 10 days into this four-month cruise, and I’m just now getting around to updating this travel blog.  My apologies.

I had no idea how easy it is to let time slip away - it’s not that there aren’t enough hours in the day;  it’s that there is so much to do.  With the slow speed of the internet, I may not get around to posting photos with the narrative, but I will eventually.  Please bear with me. 

You’d think with all the up-to-date fancy equipment needed to run this ship they’d have better internet connections.  Maybe they want the folks to spend time doing other things – hmmm.  And, there is so much to do if one chooses to do so. 

Right now, I choose to sit on the Lower Promenade Deck, watching the walkers  go round and round, walking off the pounds accumulated by the good food, watching the deep blue ocean and white caps and rolling swells, the clear blue sky with small puffy clouds, basking in the warm breeze, shaded by the lifeboats, listening to the waves created by the ship’s forward motion – ah yes, you won’t find me inside the dark Queen’s Lounge listening to a lecture on rogue waves. Unpacking and organizing my stateroom (an inside cabin with no windows) are not on the agenda today!  It’s just too nice a day to be inside!  So, as long as my battery holds out on the computer, I’ll sit right here, cruising off the Brazilian coast, thinking of you-all.
