$....Sailing takes me away to where I want to be....$  

Slept like a rock last night.  Okay so T. would say a snoring rock, but a rock nonetheless.  Got up and got dressed and then guess what we did????  Give up?  Ate.  Hello, you see a pattern here?  Today was a nice leisurely day full of fun and activities on board.  We hung out by the pool for awhile today and watched the belly flop contest, the horse racing thing (I'll explain later), and the ice carving.  Did a little gambling, hung out in the piano bar and watched the dolphins out the window.  More food and then more food and then a snack on top of it all.

The funniest things on board was the belly flop and the "horse racing".  The director made it really fun and has a great, yet warped, sense of humor.  You just can't help but get in to it.  We were running in to all the people we had met and just hanging out and having a good time.  The horse racing thing was actually 6 fake wooden horses that they picked 6 women out of the audience to "handle".  They would draw numbers 1-6 from a die out of one bingo like container and then spaces 1-3 and call double and such.  You could bet on them and it was hilarious as well due to the director.  I have to admit I actually won on this and it paid for... you guessed it... another round of cocktails.  My liver now needs its own vacation for sure!

We did a lot of wandering around and chatting with people the whole day as well.  T. has awesome people skills and a great sense of humor so anything is fun with her.

After dinner we were both really mellow and in to just hanging around and we walked around on deck.  Nothing exciting to read about but was a real good time.

Tomorrow we dock and then head home.  Kind of sad.

Till next time.
