Well, I said I wouldn't be back to blog unless something exciting happened or we had a win at bingo. Here it is folks - wait for it - Holly won the jackpot of $2200 in the last game of bingo today. Unfortunately she had to share it with 2 other people who also won. She came away with $733. It was exciting to win the jackpot even if it meant sharing. Also, Larry won a piece of art at the last art auction. It's a print but can't remember who it's by.
Something else exciting that happened was we were in another gale force storm this morning. The winds were blowing very strong from the northwest (we were traveling southwest). We were listing to the port side a lot. The captain came on the loud speaker to explain what was going on. He kept saying they were trying to get the ship upright and it would help if everyone would move to the starboard side. He was joking. I said a little prayer and about 2 hrs later, the ship finally uprighted itself. Seas were pretty rough but we didn't feel it much.
We went to Explorer's Lounge tonight to hear Indigo for the last time. They are a great band, not well known yet. 4 Bulgarian men and a beautiful Irish girl as the lead singer. Holly was able to get one of the band members to sell her a CD, even though they are not allowed to sell them on board yet.
At dinner tonight we were reminiscing about our trip and we all agreed we had a great time, even though there were a couple of disappointments. Talking about doing an Asian cruise next.

How do you DO that????? Thats completely unreal to me how you win at bingo like that. Un. Real. Glad you had a great time though! I guess you'd better do an asian cruise since 3 of your grandchildren are from there, huh? See you soon!
