Fiji Tomorrow...

Thursday, January 22. Hot of course. 29 C.

Once again, we had the sleep of the exhausted. Today is a sea day so we just dragged our bodies around until the caffeine kicked in, along with the food, and we got organized.

We also think that we have finally gotten the Shore Excursion business sorted out and in a form that it is on a piece of paper instead of it being on a bloody App. on my iPhone, the way the Ship seems to think is best. They are plain and simple wrong! Until they can get the internet working reliably on the ship they are causing multiple issues with their most important people, their Passengers! There, got that off my chest!

Tomorrow is a Tender Port which Fellette has never been to. Daughter Jeanette and I were here once for a day or two on a layover to Melbourne, Australia. We were exploring a business venture with another gent whom we knew. The venture did come to fruition and it was a small part of Canada Ticket, for some, until we realized it was a good try but would never be successful. In Fiji at that time, 1988, Fiji was in turmoil with a feud between two rival coups. We were hardly aware of it.

I started to do something about getting some exercise regime going. This learning to relax thing, combined with Fellette's chest issue put a damper on anything at all exerting and we became sluggish and have to do something about it. I checked out the gym today and spotted the exact machine I need to use. After lunch I went to the gym and did what I wanted to do. It was trying but I did what I wanted to do and the next time will be easier!

I found out today that I am not the oldest person on the ship, there is a 94 year old aboard. That made me feel better, the same as an 88 year old man celebrating his birthday today, he was so happy that there was somebody older than him aboard!

A Good Day.

Last night's dessert for me. Italian Gelato Ice Cream! Fellette assisted me on this job.

Sunrise this morning, we are now two hours off of Melbourne, Australia time.

This is the machine I used for some shoulder strengthening.

Presto Magico, we searched for and found this collapsible tripod today, missing since we came aboard. It was in a suitcase under the bed, where we put it when we came on board. We were obviously more stressed than we thought. Fellette was also delighted to find that suitcase full of clothes to wear. It was like Christmas to her.

This is a tile mosaic in a walkway by the Buffet Dining Area. Just something pleasant to fill the space.
