Here we are again...at sea. Today they closed the outer decks for the entire day, due to rain. The wind whipped at such a pace that when I tried to open our balcony door, I nearly got sucked out. Rough seas AND we're trapped indoors. I guess it's time to sleep, read, drink and eat. Mission accomplished.
Seriously, not much going on. However, the highlight of the day was Bingo (I know, I know) but Joe won the first jackpot - $150 - not a bad thing at all!
Today is Thursday. Tomorrow we arrive in Tonga. Tonight we turned our clock BACK an hour so tomorrow morning we will have lost an hour. By the time we get to Tonga, tomorrow night, it will be Saturday...when we wake up the next day, it will be Sunday. Nothing like fucking with the time/space continuum (and my mind)!
Everything we've read about the Kingdom of Tonga is simply that...it's exotic, it's remote, it's not a tourist spot (stuff is rustic, not in English, and not a usual destination). I'm really kind of excited about going! We're taking an excursion to one of the outer islands and will be able to swim, snorkel, and play on the sugar sand beach for about five hours. It's likely we'll see whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and about a million fish. I'll be sure to take pics!
The seas have calmed a bit, and I'm hoping tomorrow will be sunnier. God knows I need to stay on the path toward a tan without too much interruption!
