On the water nothing is the same

Monday was a day at sea. Discover Alaska Tours arranged a meeting to go over details of the procedures for the next few days of touring. It turned out that because the meeting room is known by two names, that it had been double booked. 175 of us were from Discover Alaska, so we booted out the few who were there for the fudge making demonstration and claimed the room as our own.

The meeting broke up in time for me to make my hair appointment. It was pretty typical for my experiences at salons, I say I want it left longer,and an inch of hair is cut off; gone, the nice curls that have been growing for the last four months. I am almost happy with the result, but I really just wanted cleaned up, not shorn.

At that point we had entered the Queen Charlotte sound and the ship was rolling. I took a bit of my favorite anti nausea medicine to quell the queasises and had a bit of a nap.
When I felt better we headed up for lunch, and spent some time with a nice couple from Virginia. They retired to an area near Roanoke and are very happy and recommend it highly.

Dinner tonight was at the Pinnacle, the high class restaurant on the Ryndam, because we have been celebrating our anniversary. I ordered a package in advance and little parts of it have been arriving each day we have been on the ship; flowers, 25 minute massages, and water bottles to name a few. The dinner was lovely, Charleen enjoyed some of her favorite foods, wonderfully prepared by the staff. I chose the Black Cod and aside from the bones, was very satisfied. Dinner was very rich and very filling and by the time we were finished we wanted nothing more to do with food. Guess what was waiting for us in the cabin when we returned from dinner?
