White Tux, Black Tux...

Thursday, December 29. Rain and warmer.

A meeting with Wally and Scott for me this AM, Fellette took down the Christmas decorations and tree in the house: how barren it looks!

In the afternoon we were determined to get the last of the packing done, just in case we have forgotten something. Sure enough, the medicine department is lacking and an important prescription was missing so I ordered that and that was the end of the packing! We hope.

We heard from the Luggage Forward company, [DHL] who took three large cases December 23, the bags are in Fort Lauderdale in the hands of the Port Agent and will be on board when we get there. [?]

In the course of this cruise we will have many dress-up nights that require us gents to get spiffied up somewhat. To Jim and I that means a Tuxedo, or Dinner Jacket as they are sometimes called. In my own world, I understood that while 'In the tropics', between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, while at sea, the preferred dress was a White Tux or Dinner Jacket. All that seems to have gone out the window and almost anything goes.

To see somebody wearing a white tux in February in the North Atlantic, is, to me, wrong. So, on this trip I will have both a white and black tux. I hope to be able to stick to that, just for the sake of old-fashioned tradition.

Notice the Santa Hat.


The pill suitcase. Sad isn't it?
