and a lovely time spent in the Diamond Lounge with my very own table, chair, sunshine, tea, coffee and snacks.
I thought about getting off the ship. For about five minutes and thought – why? and headed to the lounge. My decision might also have had something to do with my checking of supplies and realizing that I had plenty of insect repellant and no sun block. Hello? Here I am in sunshine without sunblock? I might be a lot of things, but being stupid and getting sunburned is not one of them.
According to the port list – and what I saw – we and the NCL Getaway were the only two ships (port load listed as 7634)
Otherwise – I have been making steady progress on the cross stitch, especially after I gave myself permission to simplify a number of areas from shading into single colors.

Tomorrow is a day at sea as we steam back toward Fort Lauderdale.
I’m putting together a grab-and-go toiletries bag to reduce packing error and response time. And realize from your post that I have not included insect repellent.
Thanks!
