Today was glorious. Weather terrific. Shuffleboard tournment is going well. Semi-Finals - 3 officer teams and only 1 passenger team.

After the meeting with the Voyager, we had a country fair. Lots of fun. All the areas had booths, ie, housekeeping, bartenders, HR etc. We played the game and got raffles. We also voted for best booth and the winning area gets $300 to throw a party. The bartenders won. And then prizes were raffled off. Didn't win.

After Funchel tomorrow another sea day yeah!!!

Can't do a complete crossing with another leg attached next year, trying to talk myself into just doing a crossing and getting off in Funchel and flying home. Can't seem to wrap my arms around this yet.

Really am thinking about the November crossing back. Love these sea days.

Hi Phyl -

What don't you like? Does it just get to be too long of a trip?

Tina

Hi Tina:

Love everything about the crossing. Even the rain for 1/2 a day because it gave me more of an excuse to do nothing and take a nap:)

There is so much to do that I told Sam one day that I was very happy that there was NOTHING I wanted to do that day except trivia. He was perturbed but I said, no that is a good thing:)

This AM was the shuffleboard final. Officers won.

Walked into Funchal and back and we were docked at the very last berth. Got the purse I wanted (got one 2 years ago, wore it to death and went back to the same place and got one).

Newcomers on the ship now. Very strange. Don't know how Marcie does it at every leg :)

Love the free internet :)

Bye for now. Phyl

Phyl -

Would you tell us all the "insider" shopping tips for your ports of call?

You can also pm me if that is easier.

So glad to hear that you are having so much fun.

Tina

No - No PM, Tina - we want to have a shopping report for all the CROSS'ers and TAPers too. Please, Phyllis!

Also, November Voyager Crossing will have some of your fellow SAND'ies onboard
