Back at Sea

Marina
Sharon and I are back at sea with Oceania Cruises on a cruise that will take us from Amsterdam to the port outside Rome. We are on Marina. While I freely acknowledge my focus is not on reading while on a cruise ship there is still a wonderful library on the ship with about 2,000 books.

I am doing some reading each day between meals, shore excursions, team trivia (afternoon and evening) and the nightly live show. Often reading has to be done while sitting on the deck. Right now I am up in the Horizons Lounge on the 15th deck waiting for formal tea to begin. Afternoon trivia awaits.

My posts will be irregular until the end of the cruise.

    Have a great time, Bill. My focus would be on reading if I was there. Sounds very relaxing. I bet you are great at trivia.

    TracyK: Thanks for the kind words. I do have a good number of fun facts (my sons' description of trivia) in my head.

      Moira: Thanks for the travel wishes. It was a good afternoon. Our team was first for the day. It did take awhile for me to remember the letter of the alphabet to the left of "j" on a keyboard. Others had to be convinced.
