We're on the cruise ship which will set sail at 5 p.m. In preparation, and
in accordance with international law a lifeboat drill has to be conducted.
So we're all gathered at lifeboat #16 waiting to be accounted for.

While the trip here was fairly uneventful, getting from the airport onto
the boat was more of a drama than it should have been. We bought a transfer
and we'll not do that again. We landed at about 11:15 and had our luggage
about 20 minutes later. We finally got to our cabin about 2:20. Meanwhile,
Eileen, Phil, mom and dad didn't use a transfer, but rented a cab. They
spent about $28 and were in their cabin at 12:15. We spent $40 and were
more than two hours longer. Never again!

But we're here and it's already a lot of fun. A little later I'll get
Internet set up as this device will not work after we leave port. Perhaps
more later today!
