The sea is choppy and the swells are a bit high. On the chart it says these are very mild, nothing to sneeze at. For me though, it's giving me a headache. I'm a bit seasick but not enough for me to bring up my delicious lunch, it's just giving me a headache.
I can't get my laptop hooked up. I am crap at computers, I can type fast and I know shortcuts but I can't figure out how to hook mom's laptop up to wireless! The internet cafe has wireless available for laptops and mom's computer has wireless capabilities so I don't know what's what. I think I need to get an attachment or something from the guy but he's not in the room right now.
Tonight is Formal Night and I don't care. I'm going to the 24 cafeteria. You aren't allowed in the lounge or the various resteraunts unless you're dressed up. I don't feel like putting on a nice blouse and wearing a freaking skirt so screw it. I really wanted steak too, maybe the cafeteria will have steak tonight. I can't see land from where I'm sitting and I just did a circuit around the ship and there's no land in sight. It was nuts walking out there! The wind is fierce and the ship is rocking and bouncing on the waves. Plus my hair is long, so I look like...well something.
I'm still lol'ing at McCain's choice. The Debates will be interesting to watch!
My heart goes out to the people of New Orleans and the surrounding cities.
Oh yeah...
I can't get my phone to work while at sea even though you are supposed to be able to. So for those of you that contacted me since yesterday I apologize for not getting back to you. We'll be in port on Tuesday so I'll be checking then. Of course I'll be on a train ride going to the Yukon but I might be able to get service!
You can still drop me a line if you wish, just be aware it might take me awhile to get back to you. 310-613-6943 or witherwing7 at AIM
