AVAST YA SWABBIES! Well, Little Mary Dunbar and I have made it out to sea ... this is our second day out on the rolling main and the gale force 9 - 10 winds are causing this massive ship to heave from side to side quite a bit. Walking around the labyrinth of corridors and alleyways, in fact, is a challenge.
We're thoroughly enjoying this luxurious mode of transportation - there's too much delicious food for our own good but we are not complaining! There are Oxford lecturers, entertainers, musicians, a library, several shops, a cinema on board. Our stateroom has a television, complete with e-mailing capability and videos on order.
Tonight, we'll go to the cinema and see Capote, a film we've both been looking forward to seeing. Oh, and that's after the Captain's cocktail party and our formal dinner. Life is tough on the high seas, alas and alack.
More later. I don't know if I'll be able to download a photo or two until we return to land, but I'll attempt it.
Portez-vous bien les copains.
