First Day at Sea


We left San Diego at 5:00pm Friday. The waters were a little swollen so Carrie and Suzanne jumped right on the Bonine, and have had no problems. Suzanne is one of our best dancing friends from Fairhope. She is on the cruise with Lloyd, her boyfriend, who is our other best dancing friend from Fairhope. There is a big dance this afternoon and we are hoping to show off a little, lol. The ship is very nice. It's one of the older models. There are only a few cabins with porches and the are all suites. We have a big window though and a nice king sized bed. The bathroom is extra big and the shower is great. As usual, the people are all really nice on staff. One odd thing is that the median age of the passengers looks to be mid 70's. Carrie has proclaimed it a geezer cruise but I say that will just make us look that better when ee are dancing. The food is excellent and we were both up early on the outdoor track to try to be sure that we stay as trim as possible, considering our situation. The air temp is 80 degrees but the Pacific Ocean is so much colder that the Atlantic that there is a signifigant wind chill factor at sea. Everyone is in the gift shop buying sweatshirts and hats. Another cruise left San Diego right after ours that was headed to Alaska. We figure those guys are suffering! Tomorrow we dock in Cabo San Lucas where we are going on an ATV tour in the morning and birding in the afternoon. Hopefully I will get some good pics!
