Life At Sea

Hi from Arcadia at Sea,

Yesterday was very hot and sticky, that hot you could not even walk on the wooden deck to the pool without shoes. It was impossible to sit in the sun, yet we had people who did. they look like a mouse on a stick, dark brown and wrinkled. I guess they do not think about skin cancer, however at there age they probably do not care.

Both of us are attending the gym as we are putting on weight, I started the day we came on board with Carol walking 6 laps of the boat which is equal to 2 miles. Yesterday we both went to the Gym as i convinced Carol to use the tread mill for walking, at least she was in the shade and air conditioned. She enjoyed it so has decided to go back, desperate to fit her dresses again.

Last night was another black tie night and after this we went to an excellent show. This morning we woke up and what a change, fog, with a temperatures drop. now the fog has cleared and we are looking at dark clouds but the sea is very calm. our location is somewhere near the Solomon islands, 2 days out from Guam. We saw on the news that there was a cold front running down the entire length of Japan heading towards China on Friday, maybe by the time we reach Guam and Japan it will have passed through.

Today we received all the information about clearing US immigration in Guam and Japan, we thought the US was nuts but the Japs want to Finger Print and take retinal prints of our eyes, in addition to this they want check our body temperature, I said to Carol that we should keep a stool sample just in case they have missed anything!
