We boarded the ship with (gulp) 9 bags and two were delivered almost immediately to the room by a guy whom Chuck tipped. So the guy asked, "Is this all?" "Nope, 7 more," Chuck answered. "Oh let me go see…" The guy came back with all 7 bags. And got another tip. He was so grateful he said, "God bless you," as he tucked the tip into his sweaty pocket. Well. Then we spent about 3 hours putting all the stuff away. Stuff includes evening wear for a month, tee shirts and shorts for exercising, jackets and boots for hiking in England, baby gifts for the new little Trewin children, etc etc. Then we went ahead and booked into the Specialty dining room (have a free coupon from travel agent). YUM. We watched Tampa pull away and the sun set as we ate glorious chops. Now… full and happy, we’ll probably sleep all day tomorrow, except for Mass at 8am, arts and crafts at 9:30, water color art lessons at 10:30… lunch and then a nap. Tomorrow will go by very quickly, but I’m ahead of myself. We still have to move from bar to bar tonight to pick a good one. I’ve turned off my phone as we are in international roaming in the middle of Tampa bay. go figure. God bless you tonight!
