This is day #1 of 5 at sea as we leave San Diego and head west to Hawaii. We had some confusion about the correct time this morning as we woke up and went to breakfast. We were told to move clocks back one hour during the night, but apparently we also needed to spring forward one hour to daylight savings time, so we had a net change of no time change. It now seems funny, but some people needed to wait a while until the restaurants were prepared to open. When Joan and I went to breakfast the entire cafe was pack with no open seats except two at one table. Guess it worked out because we met another nice couple from Maryland who are on their fourth world cruise.
We went to the Sunday morning church service. The service was led by the cruise director who does a really good job. He is an entertainer and singer by training but also worked for one year as a youth pastor, so he had a good message about blind faith.
Lecture today was an Introduction to the Pacific. The three primary cultural and geographic regions are Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. We are headed to Hawaii which is at the northern tip of Polynesia.
During the evening we had another Captain’s Cocktail Celebration to meet the current officers on board. Earlier in the afternoon, Joan and I went to meet the new Veterans group on ship, as we had about a 50% turn over of the group in San Diego. Sorry no pictures today.
