Today was a sea day and we took it easy.

We started out having breakfast in Sabatini's which was good as usual.  As always, Terry ordered everything on the menu.  The waiter told me he was worried about me because I only ordered a bagel and pineapple.  I guess he couldn't tell by looking at me that I hadn't missed any meals.

We stopped briefly at the casino where I once more had no luck.  I then went to the lecture where we learned what to expect in Vietnam where we will be the next 2 days.  It is really pretty scary listening to it all.  We have private tours the next 2 days so hopefully everything will work out ok.

Pat stayed and listened to another lecture and I went to the room to take care of a few things before time for lunch.  I had to eat in a hurry because I had a spa appointment for a massage.

The massage was good but I had to hurry to Bingo.  Mary P had already bought my cards and I got there right as they started.  No luck again.

We went back to the room to wait for our chocolate covered strawberries before dinner.  Unfortunately they didn't arrive and we had to leave to go eat.  

We hurried through dinner so we could go to the early show.  It was the singers and dancers.  I hadn't seen any of their shows on this cruise so thought I would go check it out.  They were pretty good and it was only a 30 minute show which was long enough.

I needed to get change for our port tomorrow.  We were told they take USD and to take small denominations.  The smallest I had was a $20.  I found what I thought was a change machine in the casino.  I put a $20 in it and out came $20 in tokens for the arcade.  I then had to go to the casino cashier and get my money for them as well as getting small bills for my other money.  Oh well, lesson learned.

We then went to Club Fusion to listen to a group sing that Pat & Terry had told us about.  They were good.  When they went for a break at 8:30 pm we decided to go back to the room to get everything ready for tomorrow.  We will anchor at 8:00 am and have to catch tenders in to port.
