Today is June 1st and our first full day on the water. WIFI is limited at best on board. There are typically floors on a criuse ship with WIFI access that’s stronger than other floors but from what I’ve learnd from the two other cruises Mr. Gossett and I have done, using the internet cafe on board is a persons best bet. On Wednesday, we went through customs for the second time in two days. First, we did customs to get into Canada. Before we got on the cruise ship, we went through customs again to back into the states. Funny how those things happen. Standing on the deck as we left dock was quite an experience. We watched float planes leave and return to dock, as well as watched tug boats come and go assisting larger boats. After spending so much time walking, it was nice to find a place to sit for an extended amount of time without having to be anywhere else.
The first day on board is full day on the water as we travel to our fist port. We’ve seen a lot of water as well having activities we could take advanatages of on ship. I had a massage today while Mr. Gossett caught up on his sleep. I took a long nap after my relaxing massage. The peacefulness of being on the water is as relaxing as it could be. It’s also the beginning of being able to decompress from everyday stresses and worries. Everyone could use a little decompression time at decompress from the craziness of life from time to time.
We’ll most likely spend the rest of the day relaxing, reading and whatever comes around that grabs our attention. I’m looking forward to see what’s ahead for tomorrow. I do miss being able to call my Mom and Dad to tell them all about what we’re experiencing on our trip. They always loved hearing about our latest adventure. Since I can’t call them from time to time or send an email, here’s my chance to share the experience with those of you who take the time to read each blog post I write. I hope you look forward to reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
God Bless and happy travels….
