Well, it's almost dinner time, I haven't had my nap today so this might not make much sense. We stay up late, get up early, eat, eat, eat and drink, drink, drink...not easy on the body!

Last night was formal night and we enjoyed seeing the other LCT'rs at the Captain's reception. Dinner was surf and turf...beef wellington and lobster thermidor. After dinner, a concert pianist entertained and she was wonderful. I was ready to skip the performance but glad I didn't. It was the highest quality entertainment I've ever experienced on Radisson.

Today I had a date with my MIL to attend the water color class and then the flambe tea. She is a wonderful artist and enjoyed the opportunity to do a little painting. Me? Well, I did my best.

Yesterday, Alan and I took a ballroom dancing class on the foxtrot. We are novices so this was a good beginning for us. We skipped the cha-cha today. We figure one dance at a time is best.

My MIL has gained another son. Edwin now calls her Mom. It's so cute. Last night he sang to her as he escorted her out of Compass Rose. She is basking in all the attention.

Marc, I checked on the new internet system. They are changing satellite providers to one with a higher bandwidth. Marco wasn't sure of the prices but said it will probably be around 100 minutes for $25, much higher than the current 5 hours for $25. The speed should offset some of the cost but I'm not sure how much. If I find out more, I'll report back.

Got to go get ready for dinner. It's time to eat and drink some more!
