Belated Merry Xmas Post

Christmas Day was the first of our 2 fun days at sea before we arrived back in Abu Dhabi.  Thankfully, Santa and Mrs. Santa visited the ship on their way around the world.



The day also included yet another $200+ bingo win and a fantastic cognac tasting.  The tasting included 3 Remy Martin cognacs that culminated with a tasting of their Louis XIII.  The bottle that the Louis XIII comes in is Baccarat crystal and an empty bottle alone sells for $500.  The full bottle sells for about $5000!  So it was really special to taste even if it was just a 1/4 ounce. Quite an experience.












Our fun days at sea have been an exercise in killing time as continually zigzagging across the Persian Gulf.  


Happy holidays to all.  May the new year bring us all peace and blessings.

Linda and Larry
