Yes, it's finally me.
I'm here and on the ship. We just had the sail away party. Gorgeous, with the table mountain in the background. I am still exhausted. I shouldn't have added doing all those meals, shopping and touring with a friend who lives here. Super happy to see everything but too much after traveling so far.
Captain just came on and said rough sailing ahead! I hope to sleep through it.
I left my pillow I've had since age 16 on the plane and they wouldn't let me go back and get it. Very traumatic when you are a child at heart like me. I was so concerned about forgetting my new laptop I totally forgot the pillow. Farewell old friend! You were great for 50 years. Clay says that lap top is the best investment he's ever made since it got rid of that pillow. They call them cushions here so half the time no one knew what I was talking about.
It's a little weird being on the Voyager after just getting off the Mariner. I'm used to knowing the crew and passengers. Right now, it's just me - but I'll get that fixed in another few days.
Thought it was interesting the question most South Africans asked me was about Oprah. They don't seem to care about Obama or any other US politics at the moment. Just Oprah and the World Cup.
That's all for now. Wish I could write like Diane, but nothing exciting to report yet.
Oh yes, Engelbert is back on the Voyager so we wear our "twin" pins when appropriate. Girls - he looks as fine as ever!
Hope to be rested tomorrow with some sort of grand news to announce.
Oh yes - I'm now booked to FLL. I think I need to thank my family for understanding why they won't be getting their Xmas presents on time this year.
