Tried to post yesterday's update, but at the moment nobody seems to be having any luck getting on the internet. At best connection speeds are slow. Maybe it has to do with so many people using at the same time.
Finished my second book last night and starting the third this morning. Good thing I picked up another iTunes card in Honolulu and downloaded two more books. With four left I should make it back to LA. If not, there is a library on board.
Got a mocha and we headed for the future cruise computer. Checked out some Mediterranean cruises, but with all the trouble that's going on in Europe we're not too enthusiastic about spending time there.
Somewhere along the way today we are to cross the International Date Line and according to the ship's calendar tomorrow doesn't exist. However, in a few days it looks like we get it back.
Dinner tonight was the once a week, only on Tuesday, only at sea Crab Shack. Pretty good if you don't mind digging and eating with your hands. Popcorn shrimp and hush puppy appetizer and Manhattan clam chowder was followed by a large bowl of Alaskan king crab, shrimp in the shell, red potatoes and corn on the cob. All the tools for cracking and prying out the crab were provided, along with a waist length bib.
Later back in our cabin the PA system lit up calling the emergency response team to report to deck 4 zone 6. We probably weren't the only ones wondering what was going on. A short time later the Captain came on to announce a engine driving an electrical generator had a problem and shut down. Not to worry, there are four more.
That's about it for today. Just checked the GPS and at about 2 degrees North we are nearing the equator. ______________________
