Two more sea days. I could really get used to this. I like this pace – port, sea day, port, sea day sea day. Some cruises are so port intensive it’s overwhelming. Not enough time to savor. Sort of a “If it’s Monday we must be in (fill in the blank)” mentality if you know what I mean. 

So I haven’t updated the status of the solo group. We’ve been growing. We are now up to about 20, more or less. We represent many countries – US, Jamaica, Israel, Spain, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia. As I mentioned in my profile, we are a very loose group. Not everyone shows up every evening and that’s okay. And, it seems we add one or two more each evening. 

There is a core group of us that usually meet for dinner. We try to get Anya each evening as our server. She’s great and never seems surprised at any of our requests. One night we had escargot as one of the appetizer selections. Well, Anita apparently loves escargot. She ordered about 10! (no entrée, just 10 appetizers). One of the members of our group who shall remain nameless (for now) emailed me yesterday and reminded me that I was the dessert queen and that I always got two desserts. He’s being kind – I usually got three! I mean they all sounded so good and I couldn’t make up my mind. So, I compromised – I ordered all that appealed!
