Hi guys….
Not too much to report as yesterday and today are sea days.We'll be arriving in Thailand tomorrow morning. We’re currently in the Gulf of Thailand not far from the coast of Cambodia. Early tomorrow we’ll be leaving the ship for the night and driving into Bangkok about 1 ½ hours away .We’ll spend the night at the Four Seasons Hotel. Tomorrow afternoon Tom and I are going on a Royal barge ride through the canals. There were quite a few options RSSC is offering and all sounded fun. We had such a good time with Joanna & Tony 2 years ago when we did the “Floating Market” It’s hard to believe that this will be my 5th time to Bangkok (3 of those were when Tom worked here for 6 months in the mid 90’s) Tomorrow night quite a few of us want to go to Pat Pong (night market). I’m sure we’ll find time to fit in a Thai massage as well. Regent really does an outstanding job on these overnight excursions so I’m sure tomorrows will not be an exception. All but 40 people will be leaving the ship for the night. I’m guessing the 40 staying onboard are elderly and more immobilized. Quite a few are leaving Bangkok to go to Angkor Wat in Cambodia for 3 nights and will rejoin the Voyager in Kuala Lumpur.

Yesterday was a typical sea day for me…..a little this and a little that. It was a good token day….one for “Brain Busters” game and another for trivia. Bingo wasn’t profitable but poker certainly was. I was head to head with one other player so we decided to just split 1st and 2nd prize money so I won $200. :) After dinner (and before our nightly poker game) we saw the comedian/political satirist/columnist Mark Russell. He is so quick witted and talented, we really enjoyed him!!! We laughed so hard we ached! Definitely one of the best guest entertainers we’ve seen. :banana:

P.S. We bought another huge suitcase in Hong Kong for $25. It’s packed full of purchases and safely stored away until Ft. Lauderdale.
