Superbowl Monday

Superbowl Monday – February 4

We crossed the international dateline on Friday night so we had no Saturday. That, of course, means we get the Superbowl on Monday instead of Sunday. It starts at 1:30 and they will be showing it in the Queen's Lounge (the showroom). I have to admit this is a 'just don't really care' game for me but I'll go down and watch a bit anyway; maybe there will be some good football munchies. My biggest decision today was whether to wear a purple t-shirt for Baltimore or a red sweater for San Francisco – the red won mostly because I have several friends in that area so I'll go for their team.

The last few days have been regular sea days with nothing much of interest to talk about. I've read several books and spent time doodling and watching the sea go by. I think this is the longest stretch of sea days we've ever had on a cruise, but maybe it just seems that way to me because I missed the stops in French Polynesia because of my ankle. It's much better now and I'm looking forward to Auckland in a couple days. We will be there for several days and then have about 6 more ports in a row before we head to Sydney.
