THURSDAY, APR 22ND--AT SEA

Another lazy sea day here off west coast of Africa abeam Congo and Gabon borders. Ocean is being nice again today and providing a smooth ride. It’s 83F and mostly sunny at 3:30pm. I just spotted a huge off shore oil drilling platform in the distance and it’s probably 200 miles from land. We will be crossing the Equator for the last time on this cruise tonight. Well, our oyster & shrimp dinner last night was not so good. At least the chef tried. Only lasted about 10 minutes of the guy playing a flute in showroom. Tonight’s show should be better as is starring Dorothy Bishop, a singer, who has performed on Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and in Europe. I have been on internet most of today as we are planning a trip to Italy for May 2011. We will be going with our friends, Toni & Tom, from Pensacola. We have a 12 day RCCL cruise already booked out of Rome but want to spend 10 days or so in Italy before the cruise. Ok, time to go up on deck and do some walking.
