CAPTAIN SLOG STARDATE 66.14I've had a busy day and am knacked!My room was bloody freezing last night. I turned off the a/c earlier on but the room never warmed up. I ended up wearing my long sleeved top over the pjs. Very fetching.Whilst I was freezing my bits off I decided that I needed to buy another holdall. There is no way that the Miami Gestapo are going to let me through with an overweight case on the way home. So it was off to Sawgrass Mills I m...

CAPTAIN SLOG STARDATE 65.13Well, that was a crappy night's sleep. Thank God for my Jet Rest pillow!

She said she hoped to meet up by the pool tomorrow.Well as you all now know yesterday evening, I was busy hobnobbing with all the flashy folk in the Captain’s Club cocktail party. It’s not really me but I couldn’t resist another chance...

06 APRIL 2012This is it, the end of my diary.Got up about 7am as I had to be at the meeting point by 8.15, so plenty of time for brekkie. Looking outside I saw that we had already docked and there appeared to be some people off the ship already.I reread the instructions and decided to get to the meeting point by 8am. Once there I sat with a few others waiting patiently, book at the ready. I do find reading to be a calming influence when travelling what with delay...
