Formal Night Number 16, April 11, 2011

Our formal nights always take place on Sea Days.  This morning, I went for breakfast with Shirley in the Lido Dining Room at 7:15 a.m.

At 8 a.m. we went to the ``Sit And Be Fit``  exercise class.  This had helped me a lot with the shoulder and neck problem which I’ve had. 

At 9 a.m. we went to the dance instruction class where we were taught the Two Step.

At 10:30 I went to the Computer class called `Put Your Best Face Forward``.   It is a review for me, but I figured a review would be good before leaving the ship.  Here we learn how to download the pictures from our cameras onto the computer and then how to edit them.  I`ve learned a lot.

After a quick lunch I went to the hairdresser to get a wash and set in preparation for the big event of the evening.

At 3 p.m. I went to the second dance class to review the Two Step.  When that was over, it was time to get ready for the formal.  Our first dance time is from 4:40 until 5:30, just before the first seating for dinner, so I attended that.  The next session is between 7 and 8 p.m., just before the second seating for dinner and I attended that.  I also went for the session after dinner, but I had to leave early  around 10:30 because I was too tired to dance.  Would you believe that ! ! ! !   Dancing in the Ocean bar goes until 11:30 and upstairs in the Crow`s Nest it lasts until midnight – and I went to bed at 10:30.  What`s this world coming to ! ! !

Here I am posing with Howard in the Crow’s Nest.

I`m writing this blog in the early morning of  Wednesday April 13.  Last night I made it until midnight.  My 2 favourite dancers, Paul and Howard were in the Crow`s Nest and there were just 2 women there to dance – Shirley and me – so we danced every dance  ! ! ! !  What a great evening ! ! !
