We only have two more sleeps in our home bed before we head out and I can feel the 'pressure' of having to write an interesting Blog as so many people seem to be looking forward to a little armchair travelling without all the hassle and expense of actually going somewhere. During the days away I am always aware of something interesting that I observe or am privy to, to share with people at home. My camera is always on my hip, even at dinner time.
One of my first concerns is getting connected to the internet on board. This can be easy, or it can be a hassle. The ship has a person whose job is to keep us technologically challenged folks happy. The person is usually well qualified, young and often from some developing or Eastern European country. I usually become very familiar with him or her as we travel around the world trying to connect to the internet under some funny circumstances. This persons job is quite a challenge because it seems that oftentimes people come on board with a new iPad or computer and are expecting to sail around the world while sending emails and photos to friends and family. The drop-out rate of such enthusiasts is quite severe and only those who persist will be successful. It is indeed a challenge.
However I have nothing startling to report or photos to share with you today, sorry, we are now just putting in time until Wednesday afternoon when we leave our home and start the journey. Tomorrow we say goodbye to family that we usually see daily and will not see for four months. It can be a little emotional for me.
