REGENT SEVEN SEAS VOYAGER/ WORLD CRUISE 2007When you think about cruising, you imagine a life of leisure and relaxation.
Our first week onboard, has been completely different (with stops in Bahamas and Barbados).
By the time we unpacked, set breathing machine, found out how everything works in our great suite and got acquainted with the butler and housekeeper, etc. 3 days went by very quickly.
Mornings: We are taking bridge classes for the absolute beginners. We have two great lecturers: One on a series about places we are going to visit. The other about globalization. Classes for computers, photography, arts, etc..Before you know it is lunch time. Our favorite :Buffet "al fresco".
Afternoons are filled with practicing bridge, high tea, walking, mahjong, movies, siesta (when we can!!) etc.
Evenings start early with cocktails at different lounges, dinner at a French, Vietnamese, Italian or main dinning room. The food is very good and also the wine selections. Followed by shows, movies, casino, games etc.
I started with writing classes and Arline has formed an afternoon Mahjong group.
Last night, we decided to take a respite and had a candle light dinner served at our suite. The butler is very good and resourceful
We met interesting people, The social calendar is filling fast and we have 4 dinners already set for the next 8 nights
Wish the day would have more than 24 hours!!
Ciao, until wee met again!

Hi! This is SO cool. I definitely don't have any friends, or know anyone for that matter, that have grandparents on a cruise around the world and have a blog to top it off! I am so glad y'all are having fun so far.
Updates:
1. Stapes started grad school yesterday! He definitely dressed the part in his button up shirt, tie and blazer....so scholarly and studious! He loves his professor and is really excited.
2. I resigned from my job! My last full day is January 31. I agreed to help out part time after that until they find my replacement or I find another job. I am definitely going to get into professional organization. I would absolutely love to go organize people's homes, offices, home offices! I have an interview tomorrow afternoon with a professional organizer and one on Friday, so wish me luck!
Well, I think that's it for now. Until we speak again, AHOY!
We read the email you sent to Daniel and we were delighted with the good news. Especially, that you are taking classes of bridge. Please email me your email address so that I can contact you, or give it to Daniel to pass it to me. Give my regards to Captain Alfredo Romeo and his wife. Also, to Tobias the cheff and tell him to make you Kaiser Shmekle! We hug you both. RGG
