MONDAY, FEB 8TH--AT SEA

Hello Super Bowl fans! Game will be starting at 9:30am, Monday morning here which is in 15 minutes. They are doing $10 and $20 board for wagering on the game. By the time I got there the $10 one was sold out so got a $20 square. They are broadcasting game on big screen in the showroom. It is decorated with balloons and they are setting up food and drinks tables. Not sure what the food is going to be as wanted to come back and make this post. Not sure which team I am cheering for. We left dock at Sydney on schedule at 10pm last night but returned about an hour later for a medical emergency. One passenger was put in an ambulance and 4 others got off with their luggage. We sat out on our balcony in bath robes as we returned and left again at midnight. On our way now and Captain says we will be docking on schedule tomorrow morning in Brisbane. Mostly sunny but showers in area with temp of 82F this morning. Rocking and rolling with 15 to 20 foot swells. This afternoon we have to go get fitted for a World Cruise jacket that Regent is having made for the 300 passengers doing full WC. Not sure what it looks like but guess we will find out this afternoon. I will also enter the darts tournament at 2pm before going to gym. Tonight is “formal optional” dress as is Captain’s Welcome Aboard Party for the 300 new passengers that boarded in Sydney. Show tonight is an Australian instrumentalist and vocalist, Hayden Smith, so will check that out. Tomorrow in Brisbane we have a 9am four hour tour of the city and to Lone Pine which is the first and largest koala sanctuary. There are also kangaroos, wallabies, and emus there. Just hope weather cooperates! Better go watch game now. Will try to attach pictures this afternoon. I took over 100 in Sydney but will not attach all of them. I have some nice pics of the Opera House taken at night.
