December 12 - Finally Unpacked

Not all days are perfect days. Rainy and overcast. At least I don't have to be outside for any reason. Good excuse to stay inside and unpack.

It ALL fits, so I guess I didn't bring too much.😁

April 7 - Forbidden City, Beijing, China

Image
After 40 years, I finally made it to China! And I'm going to walk on the Great Wall. Wohoo! But first we are going to The Forbidden City. We ported in Tianjin, and were greeted with a heartfelt welcome from the Chinese government.  They provided entertainment, including the revered Dragon Dance (the dancers in blue), which I caught on video.  And to no surprise and they caught everything on CCTV.  As I was watching the entertainment, the drone was literally in my face. And later when I headed out on the excursion, the film crew followed me. If you see me, please forward me the link.  It was quite smoggy in Tianjin, so my pictures may be a little blurry.

This mini-Cruise is called the African Intensive. It is 11 nights and we have 7 sea days. It is from Cape Town South Africa to June 7th, which is actually a day at sea. I can't wait to see how they are going to process us to the next mini-cruise. Obviously we won't be losing or getting any guests....at sea. It is one of three mini-cruises in Segment #3, which has been relabeled as the Africa and Southern Europe Cruise We started a new round of Progressive Trivia and we actually have a chance to win, only because the "professional" have decided to take an independent journey. I'll take the win anyway I can get it. We have the same team, however we changed our name. We are now call the Trebek Rejects. Cool, huh? It was also time to say good-bye to one of my table mates. Gabrielle, she is the one sitting next to me. Sue and Pam are still at my table I finally got a hair appointment. You see they haven't had my color for 2 months. They really still don't so I...
