Day 24 Thursday 29th January 2015 Leon’s 2nd Birthday (celebrated by Nanna and Grandad on the Pacific Ocean)


Happy Birthday to our grandson Leon! It’s a strange feeling not to be phoning and chatting to Leon today, or getting frequent updates about the bairns. It is very hard to imagine that it was 2 years ago when we were waiting to meet the lovely little man. We hope everyone is well at home and the start of 2015 has brought love, hope for the future, that Leon has a great day full of fun & surprises




Well here we go – the last sea day before San Francisco.Passengers are reporting dolphin performances at breakfast these days, I love that.  The classes for sector one have finished, the art has been exhibited, many people are preparing to leave the cruise now and fly home, and there’s a feeling of excitement and accomplishment in the air.

The Sector One Cruise Choir (passengers) have just performed very beautifully and professionally on stage.  That was an unexpected treat. As predicted the temperature has dropped a little bit again, to 16C with a bracing wind, so we’ve all got our jumpers back on, and apart from brisk walking are doing a bit less out on the deck.  The clocks have gone back making an 8 hour difference now.  Tomorrow at 6 a.m. we will be sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and coming in to port. Our captain predicts a temp of 8C at that time and has advised us all to wrap up if we’re going out for photos.

We have travelled more than 8000 miles since Southampton 3 and a half weeks ago yet it still feels brand new! More tomorrow, in port so with high speed wi-fi for sharing photos and Skyping a little bit too we hope, as long as it’s not too late when we get off the ship (USA immigration procedures). Bye for now.
