Out to sea











We are officially out to sea and heading to Bermuda. It was a smooth embarkation process and everything is perfect.

Wow - our room is soooo much bigger than I expected. The bed is almost a king size and another bunk pulls down over part of it so it sleep the 3 of us quite comfortably. We have a great sitting area, lots of closet space and an ample balcony that was perfect for breakfast this morning. The shower looks small but Jeff (6'6") used it just fine. We are getting great treatment on the ship: we have met Captain Marco Fortezze (Adam gave him a high five) and received champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries in our stateroom. The crew so far all seem to love Adam and even shout "Hello Adam" when they see us walking in the halls.

The food is fantastic and there is plenty of it. I will be sure to add photo's of some of our meals and desserts throughout the trip. Everywhere we turn there seems to be neat activities but also many places to kick back and relax. We are at sea today so we will be exploring the ship and making use of the on board amenities. Yesterday was busy with unpacking, lunch, the life boat drill, dinner and then bedtime and we have not left the room yet today so there is not too much to tell you so far.

Am I sea sick?....................... Not too much. I felt sick for about 30 minutes last night when we were getting ready for bed but had a ginger candy and that seemed to help in addition to the homeopathic remedy I am taking. Around 5am the ship started moving quite a bit and we have not been back to sleep since (hmmm I think we will need a nap today) but I don't feel sick at all - fingers crossed no more nausea.

Adam loves the motion and thinks it is funny when he is wobbling around. He seems to love everything about being at sea - Mr. Merman.
