Tip o' the Day

Today's Tip:  Do NOT weigh yourself while the ship is at sea.  The rocking of the boat will cause the reading on the scale to fluctuate 10 pounds over your normal weight and 4 pounds under your usual weight (ok, maybe it’s actually 7 pounds each way – I’m in denial that I’ve already put on a couple of pounds!).  It’s scary to see those high numbers suddenly appear on the scale, even if they do go down (and then back up - erg!).

Tonight was the first formal night on the ship.  Daron and I opted to not dress up, and instead ate an early dinner at the buffet and then wandered around the ship.  Since just about everyone else was at the dinner, we basically had the ship to ourselves!  We played ping-pong (just us), paddleball (just us, which was good because we suck), explored all the remote corners of the ship (just us), and watched the sunset off the front of the ship, just like Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet did in Titanic – Daron even yelled “I’m king of the world!” – ok, not really.  We actually did a short meditation while the sun set, again just us.  J  It was a very magical evening.
