Quote of the day: Are you joking me!!!
Yes, that’s what Maurice said at 1:30 a.m when there was a little tap, tap, tap at the door followed by a soft voice saying “room service”. I got out of bed and there was a very kind cabin steward standing there holding a tray with 3 glasses of milk and 3 plates of chocolate chip cookies!!
Today was our first full day at sea. Our past few days had been so busy, we were all looking forward to a nice relaxing day on the ship doing “whatever”. We had a very nice dinner in the dining room Tuesday night then the kids wanted to go to the movies to see Valkeryie. The kids talked Maurice into going to the show as well so I headed off to the casino! All was good until he found out the movie did not start until 10:00 pm. Anyone who knows Maurice knows this was not a good thing! The only place he thinks about going after 10pm is to bed. The fact that he was getting ready to go out at 10pm was throwing him right off and on top of that, our clocks moved ahead another hour that night so in his head it was really 11pm!!! We went to get him a coffee to wake him up and after a few grumbles here and there – they headed off! We all met back at the room and headed to bed around 12:45 a.m. Maurice and the kids got back a few minutes before me and they decided they were hungry so they called room service for milk and cookies. They said it would be 45 minutes to 1 hr so Maurice told them to forget it! Obviously they misunderstood his accent….hence the knock at the door at 1:30!!! Everyone got up – I delivered their little snack and off the lights went again!
We slept in a bit….9 am – 3 of us had a quick bite to eat then Maurice headed off to a talk about the Greek ruins while Shannon and I headed off to a kitchen tour…yes Scott stayed in bed! We met up on the pool deck for lunch and lounge around the pool for a while. Shannon and Scott watched a belly flop completion while Maurice and I went to check out the art auction – no we did not buy anything –didn’t realize I would need to mortgage my house for a painting!
A good day was had by all – we are all rested up ready for our next adventure – we are off to Athens tomorrow! We have a tour guide booked for the day to show us the sites. Should be a good day. Till next time!
