Tomorrow, American Samoa...

Friday, January 31. Sun and humidity.

The clocks went back last night, great, we can always use more sleep it seems, it must be something to do with the rocking of the ship, which has been a bit more noticeable the last few days. We are now three hours behind Pacific Standard Time. The blog will be coming in at strange hours as we move westward for the next three months. 

I was going to try and make today's blog interesting, [hard to do at sea], by taking photos of all the things we did on a sea day. I was doing great until I forgot to take a photo at Tai Chi because I was having trouble keeping up with the instructor: [me and 75% of the class of 50!] 

After Tai Chi I met up with sister Moe and had another lesson with her on the iPad and photos. There were some photos in my iPad that I wanted to give her, not an easy task for me as I have never tried to get photos to an iPad that way. During the course of my experimenting I managed to make disappear all my World Cruise photos disappear. Choke!

My mind was racing what to do. Fortunately I had them all on my computer obviously, and also backed up on a portable hard drive on board. However that did not satisfy me and I wanted them back now!  To make  long story short I found out how to do it properly and now I have all the photos neatly organized in my iPad and will now get them in Fellette's iPad as well. However, it is not a good feeling to see all that hard work disappear before your eyes as you watch in disbelief in a matter of seconds.

I did manage to take in two lectures today skipping another two as I wrestled with my photo situation. 

I think I have the situation under control regarding being too busy on sea days, I find it less stressful do move at my own pace and forget about trying to take in everything that takes my fancy or afraid that I will miss something important. It makes for a more relaxing trip.

We went for dinner tonight with our next-door cabin mates, we met them on the Galapagos trip and find them very pleasant to be with. We ate in the main dining room as usual but at a table for four, very nice change I must say.

Tomorrow we are in American Samoa where we intend to take a local bus with Jim and Gail to a National Park. It is in Jim's Bucket List to visit the most remote National Park in the US government's directory. 


Pics. for today…

Reading the Canadian Newsletter in bed; exercise on our deck, [that is steam on my camera lens from the change in temperature]; the little lounge that we eat in sometimes, [breakfast only]; walking the deck before Tai Chi. Then my planned 'photo day' fell apart.

Last photo is of our zodiac in the Galapagos, taken by another.
