I Love SEA DAYS! These 7 have gone by in a flash!

There is so much to do on the ship! Have played a ton of pickleball, then typically plunge into pool (some days right in my pickleball clothes)! It has been scorching hot while playing pickleball, only part of one court has a bit of sun screening.


We did a cabin crawl of 11 different residents' cabins that showed off their creative decorating and storage ideas. I was part of Gold team and we had to dress up in gold to compete against the blue, green and yellow teams. I borrowed a gold crown and shirt from my neighbors Angel & Kenny and Gold team won!!

Victorius Gold Team - from left Becky & Jeff, Melody & John (who supplied a lot of clothing to group), Shirene, Steve & Debbie, Me ,

Donna, Cindy, Anna & Jimbo. Some really creative residents and lots of ideas to steal for storage and ambiance.


Another day I took a linen napkin folding class, was fun to see how many I remembered from my catering days and working at Flanders Hotel!

    Amazing how many came back to me - muscle memory - used to crank out hundreds of these at FLANDERS!

Have time to goof around with friends! Scott demonstrating pool snorkeling, to swim laps in our tiny pools! They brought a comedian from the UK on the ship - he has done 3 shows - mixed reviews! And some talented crew & residents put on a talent show last night.

Below is song the Odyssey Choir sang that got a lot of cheers.

HOBART, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA

TASMANIA has always had a meanacing sound to me, probably because of the famed Tasmania Devil! So it was a nice surprise to find such a lovely, friendly place. Hobart is the capital of the island state, and is Australia's second oldest city, blending colonial history with dramatic natural scenery. The population of greater Hobart is roughly 250,000. The city sits between the sparkling Derwent River and the towering slopes of Mount Wellington , making for a picturesque waterfront.
