Four days in a row, we have to turn our watches back one hour, because we are cruising through different time zones. That’s great ! ! We get an extra hour to sleep every morning.
Tonight was our 4th Formal Night. It was lovely to see everyone dressed in their finery. The ladies all look gorgeous and the men look so elegant. A lot of the men wear tuxedos and bow ties. I wore my long black skirt (which by the way, I now fit into) and an elegant top with my red jewellery which I bought in Mexico. After diner, I went to the Ocean Lounge and danced my calories away. There weren’t too many single ladies around, so I got in a lot of dancing.
Someone asked me in an E-mail if the male dance escorts were young and handsome. All the young dancers still have to work to make a living, so these are all retired men, over 70 years old. They aren’t bad looking and they are all in good shape. One of them told me that they don’t get paid to do this work, they just get the trip for free. It’s one way to get around and see the world. I know that if lady dance escorts were in demand, I’d be the first one in line to volunteer. I wouldn’t mind doing that for a couple of years.
I finally figured out how to take timed pictures so from now on I’ll have some of myself for posterity. In 2 days we land in Papeete which is part of Tahiti. I have my pictures on a memory stick, so if I can find an Internet cafe when I go on land, I’ll try to send some pictures.
