Well after spending a few much needed rest days in Panama, we are on the home stretch. Woo hoo! I stayed with some friends from the ship in Panama and we had a great time. Most of my time was spent relaxing and of course doing what I love to do the most. Shopping! Woo hoo! I bought a few items that I hope will get some use soon after returning home since my on ship wardrobe is pretty much set in stone. We have been doing lots of cleaning onboard ship since leaving Panama. Scrubbing, waxing, scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing etc. Nothing much is really happening other than that. We had a ‘steel beach’ party with lots of junk food, b-ball playing and music. It was pretty cool that we were able to have a picnic as we were traversing the Panama Canal. I still didn’t get any pictures so I guess I will have to bum some off of some of the folks here. I am going to get to see my Mom in a few days because she is coming onto the ship and sailing with us back to Norfolk. She’s so exited, and so am I. I know that she is going to hate the trek to and from the galley (the place we eat) because if you remember, there are 97 steps. One way. Phew. Get you walking shoes on Mom. I hope that she also quickly adjusts to her tiny rack below me. It’s a trip. Just don’t bang your head like I’ve done a few times too many. And if for some reason you decide to roll in your rack Mom, your 6 inch fall won’t nearly hurt as much as my 3 foot fall would. I think she’s going to have a great time. There are several things in store for the Tigers when they come aboard. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated as to what those are after they happen; both in writing and with photos.

Sorry so short today!

Thanks for stopping by….
