Day 18 Friday 08 March 2013 at sea en-route to Los
Angeles
Clocks were put forward one hour as we went to bed last
night, so that made it after 1.30am for us. Enjoyed breakfast very leisurely
then it was down to Trivia for 10.00am.
We were all very pleased to finally get a decent score of 16/20 but we
still didn’t win. Some other team got
18/20….. We are sure they sleep in the pub and study together ready for the
next day’s Trivia... J
After our morning cup of coffee out on the aft deck it
was off for a game of Croquet. Must say I am liking this game more and more as
I get a little better at it, and especially today because I won. J We also had a couple of
games of Shuffleboard. I’m still trying
to beat Roy at this game and that’s been ongoing for the last few cruises we’ve
done. I’m determined to beat him before then end of this voyage!
Had a light lunch today and then it was out on our
balcony for a lazy afternoon enjoying a bit of sun. You should see the tan some people have they’re
out there all day every day.
It was another Formal evening; everyone looked lovely in
their finery as always. Tonight was an
Elizabethan Ball and some did actually dress in the Elizabethan style and
looked amazing.
We invited our Trivia mates Joe and Lynda to join us for
dinner at our table last night. We had a
very nice evening together then went off to the show and then a flutter on the
slot machines which were very hungry last night.
The evenings go by so quickly before we know it the time
is usually around 12.30 – 1.00am and we’re still out and about. Just as well we
can sleep in each morning on sea days. J We only have to be up and about and ready for
the 10.00am Trivia each sea day morning so that’s easy. Tough life this is….lol.
There’s a couple on here that have done 4500 days on
Cunard ships. I think they must live on them…..lol. I do remember reading once
about a lady who lived on the old QEll. When the ship went into dry dock they
just transferred her to a different ship until QEll was back on line again then
transferred her back. She died in her 90’s
having done years at sea.
